NOOSAOFa1. Spark plugs must spark properly to assure proper
~engine performance and reduce exhaust emission
level.Therefore, they should be replaced periodically with
new ones.
2. The new plugs should be checked for the proper gap.
Spark plug gap
1.0-1.1 mm (.039-.043 in.)
0.7-0.8 mm (.028-.031 in.)
3.Install the spark plug and tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-21
ft.lbs.).5. TIMING BELT (Replace)
NOOSBACaReplace the belt with a new one periodically to assure
proper engine performance.
For removal and installation procedures, refer to GROUP
g-Timing Belt.
6. DRIVE BELT (For Water
Pump and Alternator)
(Inspect for tension)
NOOSSBN(1) Place straight edge as shown in the illustration.
(2) Measure the deflection with a force of
100 N (22 Ibs.)rzapplied to belt mid-point between water pump pulley
-and alternator pulley. If the standard value is not
obtained, make adjustment.
Standard value:
<1.8L Engine>8.0-11.0 mm (.315-A33 in.)
<2.0L DOHC Engine>
9.0-11.5 mm (.354-.453 in.)
(3) Use a tension gauge to check the belt tension. If the
standard value is not obtained, make adjustment.
When tension gauge is used, the tension may be
measured between any two pulleys.
Standard value:
250-500 N (55-110 Ibs.)

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES -
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAI
(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. 920
kPa (130 psi) [250-400 rpm]
(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
/Iis 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).
0If 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.

9-26ENGINE <1.8L Engine> -Service Adjustment Procedures
TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENTNOSFGBCThere are two access holes provided in the timing belt front
lower cover. The two access holes can be used to readjust thetension of the timing belt, by following the procedures
described below, without the necessity of removing the timing
belt front lower cover. Note, however, that timing belt “B”,
which drives the right silent shaft, cannot be adjusted unless
the cover is removed.
(1) Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
(2) Remove the left side undercover panel.
NOTEThis work is done so that the crankshaft can be turned.
(3) Place a piece of wood against the engine oil pan and jack
(4)
:tmove the engine mounting bracket.
(5) Remove the timging belt front upper cover.
(6) Remove the four spark plugs.
(7) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and check the timing belt
condition.

(9) Remove the air conditioner drive belt and the alternator
drive belt.
(10)Remove the access cover (two places). There are easily
removed by inserting a screwdriver into the slots indicated
by the raised arrows in the timing belt cover and twisting.
(1l)lnser-t a socket wrench [a 14 mm (.55 in.) box wrench]
through the hole in the access cover and loosen the timing
belt tension bolt and nut.
Caution
The timing belt tension bolt and nut need only be
loosened
180”-200”. Any further loosening might re-
sult in their falling off inside the timing belt cover.

sprocket.
(13)First tighten the timing belt tensioner installation bolt (on
the lower side), and then tighten the tensioner spacer
(upper side).Caution
Be sure to tighten the bolt (lower side) first. If the
tensioner spacer of pivot side is tightened first, the
tensioner will rotate with it and belt tension may
become loose.
(14)lnstall the access cover. The access cover may be easily
installed by passing the hooks between the guides and
sliding it in.
(15)lnstall the air conditioner drive belt and alternator drive belt
and adjust the slack.
(16)lnstalI the timing belt front upper cover.
(17)lnstall the engine mounting bracket.
(18)lnstalI the spark plugs.
(19)lnstall the left side undercover panel.
LASH ADJUSTERS CHECKNO9FEABaO
If an abnormal noise is heard from the lash adjusters check asfollows.
(I) After warming up the engine, stop it.
(2) While installed to the cylinder head, press the part of rockerfeel very hard if the lash adjuster condition is normal.
(3) If, when pressed, it easily descends all the way downward,
(4) If there.is a spongy feeling when pressed, air is probably
cause is probably an insufficient amount of engine oil, or
damage to the oil screen and/or screen gasket.
(adding oil or repair), warm up the engine and drive at low
speed for a short time. Then, after stopping the engine andthis procedure a few times to bleed out the air from the oil.

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
Spark plugsl
High tension cablel Distributor

l
Crank angle sensor <2.0L DOHC Engine>
0 Ignition coil
(5) Emission control systeml
Crankcase ventilation systeml
Exhaust gas recirculation systeml

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.
