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.

(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.

Caution
The timing belt tension bolt and nut need only be
loosened

CURB IDLE SPEED INSPECTION
CautionNlIFiiAE
The improper setting (throttle valve opening) will increase
exhaust gas temperature at deceleration, reducing catalystlife greatly and deteriorating exhaust gas cleaning per-
formance. It also has effect on fuel consumption and
engine braking.
