THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA)
CLEANING
1. Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
2. Spray cleaning fluid on a clean cloth.
3. Wipe off the dirt around the throttle valve with the cloth
sprayed with cleaning fluid.
Caution
(1) Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly to the
throttle valve.
(2) Make sure the cleaning fluid does not enter the
motor from the bypass line. Also make sure it
does not enter the sensor through the shaft.
(3) Be careful not to rub off the molybden applied
around the throttle valve shaft.
4. Attach the air intake hose.
5. Adjust the basic idle speed. (Refer to P.13A-127.)
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
When not using the MUT-II, proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector, and
connect the special tool (test harness: MB991536)
between the disconnected connector taking care not
to confuse the terminal to be connected.
(2) Connect digital voltmeter between the terminal No.
2 and the terminal No. 4 of the throttle position sensor
connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position (but do not start
the engine).
3. Check the output voltage of the throttle position sensor.

4. If not within the standard value, loosen the throttle position
sensor mounting bolts. Then rotate the sensor body to
adjust.
5. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position.
6. Remove the MUT-II. If the MUT-IIis not used, remove
the special tool, and then connect the throttle position
sensor connector.
7. If a diagnosis code is displayed, erase the diagnosis code
by using the MUT-IIor disconnect the negative battery
cable from the battery terminal and then leave it for at
least ten seconds. After that, reconnect the battery cable,
and then let the engine run at idle for approximately 10
minutes.
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
(1) The basic idling speed has been adjusted by the
speed adjusting screw by the manufacturer, and there
should usually be no need for readjustment.
(2) If the adjustment has been changed by mistake, the
idle speed may become too high or the idle speed
may drop too low when loads from components such
as the A/C are placed on the engine. If this occurs,
adjust by the following procedure.
(3) The adjustment, if made, should be made after first
confirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle
speed control servo, the compression pressure, etc.,
are all normal.
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
NOTE
When the MUT-IIis connected, the diagnosis control
terminal should be earthed.
3. Start the engine and run at idle.
4. Select the item No. 30 of the MUT-IIActuator test.
NOTE
This holds the idle speed control servo at the basic step
to adjust the basic idle speed.
5. Check the basic idle speed.
Standard value: 850±100 r/min
NOTE
(1) The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower
than indicated above for a new vehicle [driven
approximately 500 km or less], but no adjustment
is necessary.
(2) If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low even
though the vehicle has been driven approximately
500 km or more, it is probable that deposits are
adhered to the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to
P.13A-126.)

MPI -On-vehicle Service13A-128
6. If not within the standard value range, turn the speed
adjusting screw to make the necessary adjustment.
7. Press the MUT-IIclear key, and release the idle speed
control servo from the Actuator test mode.
NOTE
Unless the idle speed control servo is released, the
Actuator test mode will continue 27 minutes.
8. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position.
9. Disconnect the MUT-II.
10. Start the engine again and let it run at idle speed for
approximately 10 minutes; check that the idling condition
is normal.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
1. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line to prevent
fuel gush out. (Refer to P.13A-125.)
2. Disconnect the high-pressure fuel hose at the delivery
pipe side.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure
in the fuel pipe line.
3. Remove the union joint and bolt from the special tool
(adapter hose) and instead attach the special tool (hose
adapter) to the adapter hose.
4. Install the special tool (for measuring the fuel pressure)
that was set up in step 3.

(1) Install the special tool (for measuring the fuel pressure)
between the high-pressure fuel hose and the delivery
pipe.
(2) Install the fuel pressure gauge set (special tool) on
the special tool (for measuring the fuel pressure)
putting the gasket between them.
(3) Connect the lead wire of the fuel pressure gauge
set (special tool) to the power supply (cigarette lighter
socket) and to the MUT-II.
