TROUBLESHOOTING
When checking and correcting engine troubles, it is
important to start with inspection of the basic
systems.
In case you have such troubles as (1) engine start
failure, (2) rough idling or (3) poor acceleration,
therefore, you should first check the following basic
systems:
(1) Power supply
0 Batteryl
Fusible linkl
Fuse
(2) Body ground
(3) Fuel supplyl
Fuel linel
Fuel filter
l
Fuel pump
N14EBBH
(4) Ignition systeml

0 Ignition coil
(5) Emission control systeml
Crankcase ventilation systeml
Exhaust gas recirculation systeml

(6) Others
0 Ignition timing
l
Idle speed
Troubles with the MPI system are often caused by
poor contact of harness connector. It is, therefore,
important to check harness connector contact.

(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.

(1) When installing the fuel filter, first temporarily install the
filter to the filter bracket; then insert the main pipe at
‘*the connector part of the filter, and manually screw in
..the main pipe’s flare nut.
(2) Holding the fuel filter nut, tighten the fuel main pipe’s
flare nut and eye bolt at the specified torque. Then
tighten the filter to the bracket.
