2. Listen to each fuel injector operation.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR, refer to
EC-334, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
5.CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-I
CAUTION:
Perform the following procedure in a place with no combustible objects and good ventilation.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure.
NOTE:
Do not use CONSULT-III to release fuel pressure, or fuel pressure applies again during the following pro-
cedure.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it 2 or 3 times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
6. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electrical discharge from the ignition coils.
7. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
10. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm (0.52 -
0.66 in) between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal
portion as shown in the figure.
11. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and check whether spark is
generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal por-
tion.
CAUTION:
 Never place to the spark plug and the ignition coil within
50 cm (19.7 in) each other. Be careful not to get an electri-
cal shock while checking, because the electrical dis-
charge voltage becomes 20 kV or more.
 It might damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm (0.66 in) is made.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm (0.52 in), a spark might be generated even if the coil is a malfunc-
tioning.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6.CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-II
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect spark plug and connect a non-malfunctioning spark plug.
3. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and recheck whether spark is generated between the spark plug and
the grounded metal portion.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check ignition coil, power transistor and their circuits. Refer to EC-341, "
Diagnosis Procedure". Clicking sound should be heard.

WARNING:
Be sure to perform the this step when engine is stopped.
 Check that the indicator (A) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (C).
NOTE:
 Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
 When new drive belt is installed, the indicator should be within the range (B) in the figure.
 Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
 If the indicator is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.

InspectionINFOID:0000000003802245
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-411, "
Inspection".
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during measurement. Refer to EC-20,
"ComponentPartsLocation".
4. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-24, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-49, "
Exploded View".
6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
7. Install compression gauge with an adapter (commercial service
tool) onto spark plug hole.
 Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plug
hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge
pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
 If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
 If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
 If some cylinder has low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole
of the cylinder to recheck it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-
functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
 If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-
inder head gaskets.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.

 Upper and lower O-ring are different. Be careful not to confuse them.
 Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.
 Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
 Never clean O-ring with solvent.
 Check that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
 When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, never insert it quickly
into fuel tube.
 Insert O-ring straight into fuel injector. Never decenter or twist it.
3. Install fuel injector to fuel tube as follows:
a. Insert clip (3) into clip mounting groove (F) on fuel injector (5).
 Insert clip so that protrusion (E) of fuel injector matches cutout
(C) of clip.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse clip. Replace it with new one.
 Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube (1) with clip attached.
 Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
 Insert fuel injector so that protrusion (A) of fuel tube matches
cutout (B) of clip.
 Check that fuel tube flange (G) is securely fixed in flange fixing
groove (D) on clip.
c. Check that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector
does not rotate or come off.
 Check that protrusions of fuel injectors and fuel tubes are
aligned with cutouts of clips after installation.
4. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to intake manifold.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to let tip of injector nozzle come in contact with other parts.
 Tighten mounting bolts in two steps in numerical order as
shown in the figure.
5. Connect fuel injector harness.
6. Install intake manifold collector. Refer to EM-28, "
Exploded View".
7. Connect quick connector between fuel feed hose and fuel tube connection with the following procedure:
a. Check no foreign substances are deposited in and around fuel tube and quick connector, and no damage
on them.
b. Thinly apply new engine oil around fuel tube from tip end to spool end.Fuel tube side : Black

The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
 Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
 Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to check there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

Valve Lifter Clearance
VALVE LIFTER OUTER DIAMETER Measure the outer diameter at 1/2 height of valve lifter with a
micrometer (A) since valve lifter is in barrel shape.
VALVE LIFTER HOLE DIAMETER Measure the inner diameter of valve lifter hole of cylinder head with
an inside micrometer.
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE (Valve lifter clearance) = (Valve lifter hole diameter) – (Valve lifter outer diameter)
 If the calculated value is out of the standard, referring to each standard of valve lifter outer diameter and
valve lifter hole diameter, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head.
