(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
timing adjustment terminal is short-circuited
,‘t’o ground.
Consequently, it lights up ,when the ignition timing
adjustment is grounded when adjusting ignition timing,
but in this case there is no abnormality.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT INSPECTlON
When turning on the ignition switch, check that the light comes
on.
NOTElf the light does not come on, check the harness and light for
breakage.SELF-DIAGNOSIS

(some signals at all times and the others under specified
conditions) of the engine control unit.

INJECTORS
NWXAHCHECKING OPERATION SOUND
Using a sound-scope, check the operation sound (“chi-chi-chi”)of the injectors during idling or during cranking.
Check to be sure that the operation sound increases when the
engine speed is increased.
Caution
Note that the sounds of other injectors may be heard even
though the injector being checked is not operating, so caremust be taken when checking.
NOTEIf the operation sounds cannot be heard, check the injector
activation circuit.
If this circuit is normal, there is probably a malfunction of the
injector or of the engine control unit.
MEASURING OF RESISTANCE BETWEEN TERMINALS
(1) Disconnect the connector for the injectors.
(2) Measure the resistance between terminals.
Standard value:
13
-16 S2 [at 20°C (68”F)]2
- 3 52 [at 20% (68”F)]
(3) Connect the connector for the injectors.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL SERVO
N14QUADCHECKING OPERATING SOUND
(1) Check that when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position (the engine not started), the operating sound of thestepper motor can be heard over the idle speed control
servo.
(2) If no operating sound can be heard, check the stepper
motor drive circuit.
(If the circuit is good, a defective stepper motor or engine
control unit is suspected.)

OPERATIONAL CHECK
NOTEBefore the vacuum hoses are removed, make a mark’on the
-
hose for visual identification so that they can be reconnected in,their original positions.
(1) Remove the vacuum hoses (blue stripes and black) from
the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Apply vacuum with a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to
which the black vacuum hose was connected and check for
air tightness both when a voltage is applied to the solenoidvalve terminal and when the voltage is removed.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDM%,&ACCELERATOR CABLE
CNSPECTION AN&I ”ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the auto-cruise control systemreferto
P.14-136.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
7) If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.
@ On models with an SOHC engine, turn the ignition
switch to the ON position (without starting the engine)
and leave in that condition for approximately 15
seconds.@
Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, andthen secure the outer cable so that the free play of the
inner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
jlr
l-2 mm (.04-.08 in.) \. *
3-5 mm (.12-.20 in.)
NOTEIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the idle switch.
ACCELERATOR SWITCH INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NlWlEB(1) After warming up the engine, check to be sure that the
accelerator switch is ON when the accelerator pedal’ is in
the free condition. If there is a malfunction, adjust by using
the adjusting bolt.
(2) Press the accelerator pedal by hand until the accelerator
switch switches from ON to OFF and confirm that the
amount of pedal movement (A in the figure) is within the
standard value range.
Standard value:
Accelerator switch switching point
2-6 mm
(.08-.24 ‘in.)
(3) If the distance (A in the figure) is not within the standard
value, adjust it by using the adjusting bolt.
