IDLE MIXTURE CHECK
11100210081
1.Before inspection, set vehicles in the following co ndition:
lEngine coolant temperature:
l Lights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: O FF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with
2.After turning the ignition switch to OFF, connect t he scan
tool to the data link connector.
3.Start the engine and run it at 2,500 for 2 minutes.
4. Set the CO, HC tester.
5. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idl e.
Standard value:
CO contents: 0.5% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
6. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, check
the following items: l Diagnostic output
l Closed-loop control (When the closed-loop control
is carried out normally, the output signal of the h eated
oxygen sensor repeats between and
,000 at idle.)
l Fuel pressure
I n j e c t o r
lIgnition coil, spark plug cable, spark plug
lEGR system and the EGR valve leak
l Evaporative emission control system
Compression pressure
NOTE
Replace the three-way catalyst whenever the CO and
HC contents do not remain inside the standard value .
(even though the result of the inspection is normal on
all items.)
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
1.Before inspection, check that the engine oil, start er and
battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle to the fo llowing
condition:
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: O FF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicle with
2. Disconnect the spark plug cables.
3. Remove all spark plugs.
4.Disconnect the relay (ASD relay) connector to prevent
a spark.

5. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc. , and
after the engine has been cranked, check that no foreign
material is adhering to the shop towel.
. Caution
1.Keep away from the spark plug hole when crank-
ing.
2. If compression is measured with water, oil, fuel ,
etc., that has come from cracks inside the cylinder ,
these materials will become heated and will gush
out from the spark plug hole, which is dangerous.
6.Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug hole s.
7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully o pen and
measure the compression pressure.
Standard value (at engine speed of
p s i )
Limit (at engine speed of
min. 689 (100 psi)
8.Measure the compression pressure for all the cylind ers,
and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders
are below the limit.
Limit:
NOTE
The limit value can be derived by calculating the d ifference
between the maximum and minimum values for the
compression pressure and dividing this value by the
maximum value.
9.If there is a cylinder with compression or a compre ssion
difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat
the operations in steps 7 and 8. (1) If the compression increases after oil is added , the
cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged pisto n
ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is a dded,
the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pr essure
is leaking from the gasket.
10. Connect the
relay (ASD relay) connector.
11. Install the spark plug and spark plug cable.
12. Use the scan tool to erase the diagnostic troub le codes.
NOTE
This will erase the diagnostic trouble code resulti ng
the relay (ASD relay) being disconnected.

LASH CHECK
A tappet-like may be produced from several items.
Check the following items. 1. Engine oil level too high or too low.
This may cause, aerated oil to enter, the adjusters and
cause them to be spongy.
2.Insufficient running time after rebuilding the cyli nder head.
Low speed running up to 1 hour may be required.
3. Low oil pressure.
4. The oil restrictor pressed in to the vertical oi l passage
to the cylinder head is plugged with debris.
5.Air ingested in to oil due to broken or cracked oil pump
pick up.
6. Worn valve guide.
7. Faulty hydraulic lash adjuster. (1) Check for sponginess while still installed in e ngine.
Depress part of the cam follower just over the adju ster.
Normal adjusters should be free and very firm.
Spongy adjusters can be depressed to the bottomed
position easily.
(2) Remove a suspected hydraulic lash adjuster asse m-
bly.
(3) Clean out dirt and varnish with solvent.
(4) Reassemble with engine oil.
(5) Check for sponginess.
(6) If still spongy, replace
new adjuster
assembly. .
