Symptom
The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.(Starting takes a long
time.)Engine won’t start quickly.
Idling instability
(Rough idling)Engine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes during idling.Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
>.rpointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
EThis is called rough idling.

13-102FUEL SYSTEM - On-vehicle Inspection of MPI Components
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If the engine is hard to start when hot, check fuel pressure and check the injector for leaks.
Hint 2:If the injector does not when the engine that is hard to start is cranked, the following as well as the
Iinjector itself may be responsible.
(1) Faulty power supply circuit to the engine control unit, faulty ground circuit
\-J
-(2) Faulty control relay
Hint 3:(3) Faulty crank angle sensor, top dead center sensor
If there is any cylinder whose idle state remains unchanged when the fuel injection of injectors is cut
one after another during idling, make following checks about such cylinder.
(1) Injector and harness check
(2) Ignition plug and high tension cable check
(3) Compression pressure check
Hint 4: If the injector harness and individual part checks have resulted normal but the injector drive time is
out of specification, the following troubles are suspected.
(1)Poor combustion in the cylinder (faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, compression pressure, etc.)
(2) Loose EGR valve seating
(3) High engine resistance

CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECK I
MZlFOAAWhen checking the check valve, keep the check valve fit in the
vacuum hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
CautionL’The check valve is press-fit inside the vacuum hose and
do not remove the check valve from the vacuum hose.
5.Measure the clearance to the toe board (or pedal stopper)
when the clutch disengages. In the case of AWD vehicles,
measure with the engine running.
Clearance to toe board when clutch disengages:
Standard value: 55 mm (2.2 in.) or more
6.If the play and/or clearance is out of specification, bleed the
hydraulic system or check the master cylinder, release
cylinder or clutch proper.
CLUTCH BOOSTER OPERATING INSPECTION
MZlFCAAFor simple checking of clutch booster operation, carry out the
following tests.
(I) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it.
(2) Step on the clutch pedal several times. with normal
pressure.
If the pedal depressed fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times the
dbooster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.
(3) With the engine stopped, step on the clutch pedal several
times with the same foot pressure to make sure that the
pedal height will not change.
Then step on the clutch pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
(4) With the engine running, step on the clutch pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance can
be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at last, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be faulty.

FRONT BRAKE DISC RUN-OUT CORRECTION
M35FFAC
1.If the run-out of the brake’disc is equivalent to or exceeds
the limit specification, change the phase of the disc and
hub, and then measure the run-out again.
(1) Before removing the brake disc, chalk both sides of the
wheel stud on the side at which run-out is greatest.
(2) Remove the brake disc, and then place a dial gauge as
shown in the illustration; then move the hub in the axial
direction and measure the play.
Limit: 0.05 mm (.002 in.)
If the play is equivalent to or exceeds the limit, replace
the front hub unit bearing.
(3) If the play does not exceed the limit specification, and
then check the run-out of the brake disc once again.
Mount the brake disc on the position dislocated from
the chalk mark.
2.If the run-out cannot be corrected by changing the phase of
the brake disc, replace the disc.

Caution
1.When the limit is exceeded, replace the pads at both
sides, and also the brake pads for the wheels on the
opposite side at the same time.
2.If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston, lock pin sleeve and
guide pin sleeve.
2. Loosen the parking brake cable (from the vehicle interior),
and disconnect the parking brake end installed on the rear
brake assembly.
3. Remove lock pin. Lift caliper assembly and retain with

Caution
Do not smear special grease on lock pin or make it
dirty.
