nipple.(2) Start the engine and check to see that, after raising the
engine speed by racing the engine, vacuum raises pro-
portionately with the rise in engine speed.
NOTEIf there is a problem with the change in vacuum, it is
possible that the throttle body port may be clogged and
require cleaning.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

CURB IDLE SPEED INSPECTION
Caution
N14FHADThe improper setting (throttle valve opening) will increase
exhaust gas temperature at deceleration, reducing
catalys-tic converter life greatly and deteriorating exhaust gas
cleaning performance. It also has effect on fuel ‘consump-
tion and engine braking.
Pre-conditions for inspection
l Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-205°F)
l Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P for vehicles with automatic transaxle)l Steering wheel: Neutral position (vehicles with a power-
steering)l Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary. Refer to
GROUP 8.
NOTEWith vehicles for Canada, the headlights and taillights, etc.
remain on even when the lighting switch is turned OFF, but thiscauses no problems during inspection.
(1) Connect the tachometer to the engine speed detection
terminal.
(2)Run the engine for more than 5 seconds at an engine speedof 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
(3) Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
(4) Read the idling rpm. If it is not within the specified speed,
check the idle speed control system.
Curb idle speed:
750f 100 rpm
NOTE1. Adjustment of the idling speed is usually unnecessary,
because this system controls the idling speed.
2.For rpm, one-half of the actual engine rpm is indicated,so the actual engine rpm is two times the indicated
value shown by the tachometer.

TerminalNo.10screw(2) Disconnect the female connector (for waterproof protec-
tion of the connector) from the connector for ignition timing
adjustment.
(3) Connect the ignition timing adjusting terminal to the groundusing a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(4) Connect terminal No.
10 of the self-diagnosis connector to
the ground with a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(5) Start the engine and run at idle.
(6) Check to be sure that the engine idling speed is the basic
idle speed.
Basic idle speed: 750
250 rpm
If there is a deviation of the engine speed from the basic
idle speed, first determine whether or not the conditions
described below exist, and then use the speed adjustment
screw to adjust to the basic idle speed.
(a) The engine speed may be
20-100 rpm low for a
new vehicle [driven about 500 km (300 miles) or
less], but adjustment is not necessary.
(b) If engine stalling occurs or the engine speed is low
even though the vehicle has been driven about 500
km (300 miles) or more, it is probable that these are
deposits adhered to the throttle valve, so it should
be cleaned.
(Refer to
P.14-51.)(c) If the engine speed is higher than the standard
value even though the speed adjusting screw is
fully close, check for any indication that the idle
position switch (fixed speed adjusting screw) posi-
tion has changed; if there is such an indication,
adjust the idle position switch (fixed speed adjust-
ing screw).
If there is no evidence of a change of position, it is
probable that there is leakage resulting from de-
terioration of the fast-idle air valve (FIAV), so
replace the throttle body.
(7) Turn OFF the ignition switch and stop the engine.
(8) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the diagnosis
connector.(9) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the ignition
timing connector and mount a waterproof connector.
(1O)Disconnect the tachometer.
(11)Star-t the engine once again and let it idle for about 5
minutes; check to be sure that the idling condition is
normal.

POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTME!-T’“.
(1) Slacken the accelerator cable enough.
6FU13%(2) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal 19 (throttle
position sensor output voltage) of the engine control unit
and terminal 24 (ground).
(3) Set the ignition switch at ON (do not start the engine) and
check that the output voltage from the throttle position
sensor is as specified.
Standard value:
0.48-0.52 V(4) If it is out of specification adjust by loosening the throttle
position sensor mounting screws and rotating the throttle
position sensor. After adjustment, tighten the screws
firmly.
NOTE1. Clockwise rotation of the throttle position sensor
increases the output voltage.
2.For information concerning the removal and installationof the throttle body, refer to
P.14-89.(5) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(6) Adjust the free play of the accelerator cable.
(7) Remove the voltmeter.
(8) Disconnect the negative battery cable, and reconnect it
more than
10 seconds later. (By doing so, the memory
storing the diagnosis data during the idle speed control
adjustment is cleared.)

FUEL SYSTEM - Service Adjustment Procedures <2.0L Engine>14-51THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA)
CLEANINGNl4FtU
(1) Warm up the engine, then stop it.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
(3) Plug the bypass passage inlet of the throttle body.
CautionDo not allow cleaning solvent to enter the bypass
passage.(4) Spray cleaning solvent into the valve through the throttle
body intake port and leave it for about 5 minutes.
(5) Start the engine, race it several times and idle it for about 1minute. If the idling speed becomes unstable (or if the
engine stalls), slightly open the throttle valve to keep the
engine running.
(6) If the throttle valve deposits are not removed, repeat steps
(4) and (5).
(7) Unplug the bypass passage inlet.
(8) Attach the air intake hose.
(9) Disconnect the battery terminal for 10 seconds or more,
and then reconnect it.
(lO)Adjust the basic idle speed. (Refer to P.14-48.)

(2) Check that when the battery voltage is directly applied to
the fuel pump check terminal, the operating sound of the
pump can be heard.
NOTESince the high pressure fuel pump is installed in the fuel
tank, its operating sound cannot be readily heard. Remove
the fuel tank cap and listen to the operating sound through
the filler port.

FU01571-(4) Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the special tool (hose
adapter).Use a suitable O-ring or gasket between the fuel-pressure
gauge and the special tool so as to seal in order to preventfuel leakage at this time.
(5) Install the special tool, which was set in place in step
(4),
between the delivery pipe and the high-pressure fuel hose.(6) Connect the
0 terminal of the battery.
(7) Apply battery voltage to the fuel pump check terminal and
activate the fuel pump; then, with fuel pressure thus
applied, check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage fromthe pressure gauge or the special tool connection part.
(8) Start the engine and run at curb idle speed.
(9) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the pressure regulator
and clog the vacuum hose end. Measure the fuel pressure.Standard value:
Turbo>330-350 kPa (47-50 psi) at curb idle

250-270 kPa (36-38 psi) at curb idle

290-320 kPa (41-46 psi) at curb idle
(10)Measure the fuel pressure when the vacuum hose is
connected to the pressure regulator:
Standard value:
Approx. 270
kPa (38 psi) at curb idle
Approx.
190 kPa (27 psi) at curb idle
Approx. 230
kPa (33 psi) at curb idle

(11)Race the engine repeatedly in two or three series. Then
check that the fuel pressure does not fall when the engine
is running at idle.
(12)Check to be sure that there is fuel pressure in the return
hose also (by gently pressing the fuel return hose with a
finger while repeatedly racing the engine).
NOTEThere will be no fuel pressure in the return hose when the
volume of fuel flow is not sufficient.
(13)lf the results of the measurements made in steps (9) and
(10) above are not within the standard value, use the table
below to determine the probable cause, and then make the
necessary repair.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTNWQAB
Among the self-diagnosis items, a malfunction indicator light
comes on to notify the driver of the emission control items
when an irregularity is detected.
However, when an irregular signal returns to
notmal ‘and the
engine control unit judges that it has returned to normal, the
malfunction indicator light goes out.
Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the light goes
out. Even if the ignition switch is turned on again, the light doesnot come on until the irregularity is detected.
Here, immediately after the ignition switch is turn on, the
malfunction indicator light is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that
the malfunction indicator light operates normally.

The malfunction indicator light lights up when the ignition

Consequently, it lights up ,when the ignition timing
adjustment is grounded when adjusting ignition timing,
but in this case there is no abnormality.
