MANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION(1) Before inspection and adjustment, put the vehicle
in=following state.
l Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-205°F)
l Lights, electric, cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral
(N or P for vehicles with an automa-
tic transaxle)
l Steering wheel: Neutral position
(2) Check that the idling revolution speed is normal.
(3) Remove the PCV hose from the PCV valve and attach a
vacuum gauge.
(4) Check that the negative pressure at the intake manifold
during idle revolution is normal.
Standard value: 510 mmHg (20
in.Hg)(5) If outside the standard value, isolate the cause by referring
to the following table and repair the fault.

ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine>
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES pi
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAH(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in good condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to
85-95°C (185-205°F).
(3) Stop the engine and pull the spark plug cables.
(4) Remove the spark plugs.
(5) Crank the engine
to. remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
Caution
Cover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying
out of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to
take the proper precautions.(6) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(7) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
: Min. 960 kPa (137 psi)
[250-400 rpm]6: Min. 800
kPa (114 psi) [250-400 rpml-(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Differential limit: Max. 100 kPa (14 psi)(9) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (6)-(8).
@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possiblethat there is poor contact between the piston ring and
cylinder wall.
@ If not compression does not come up, valve seizure,
poor valve seating, or a compression leak from the
gasket are all possible.‘I
