Intake Manifold Vacuum
5. Intake Manifold Vacuum
A: INSPECTION
1) Warm-up the engine.
2) Disconnect the brake vacuum hose from intake
manifold, and then install the vacuum gauge.
3) Keep the engine at idle speed, and then read the
vacuum gauge indication.By observing the gauge needle movement, the in-
ternal condition of engine can be diagnosed as de-
scribed below.
Vacuum pressure (at idling, A/C “OFF”):
Less than
−60.0 kPa (−450 mmHg, −17.72 in-
Hg)
ME-00195
Diagnosis of engine condition by measurement of intake manifold vacuum
Vacuum gauge indication Possible engine condition
1. Needle is steady but lower than normal position. This ten-
dency becomes more evident as engine temperature rises.Air leakage around intake manifold gasket or disconnection or
damaged vacuum hose
2. When engine speed is reduced slowly from higher speed,
needle stops temporarily when it is lowering or becomes steady
above normal position.Exhaust pressure too high, or exhaust system clogged
3. Needle intermittently drops to position lower than normal
position.Leakage around cylinder
4. Needle drops suddenly and intermittently from normal posi-
tion.Sticky valves
5. When engine speed is gradually increased, needle begins to
vibrate rapidly at certain speed, and then vibration increases as
engine speed increases.Weak or broken valve springs
6. Needle vibrates above and below normal position in narrow
range.Defective ignition system

23.Engine Noise
A: INSPECTION
NOTE*:
When disconnecting fuel injector connector, the malfunction indicator light illuminates and DTC is stored in ECM memory.
Therefore, carry out the clear memory mode
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine
speed increases. Valve mechanism is defective.
Incorrect valve clearance
Worn valve rocker
Worn camshaft
Broken valve spring
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low. Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn connecting rod bearing (big end)
Oil pressure is normal. Loose flywheel mounting bolts
Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank (Spark
knock)Sound is noticeable when
accelerating with an overload. Ignition timing advanced
Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber
Wrong spark plug
Improper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is
medium (1,000 to 2,000 rpm).Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy cyl-
inder is disconnected.
(NOTE*) Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine
is operating under idling speed
and engine is warmSound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy cyl-
inder is disconnected.
(NOTE*) Worn cylinder liner and piston ring
Broken or stuck piston ring
Worn piston pin and hole at piston end of connecting rod
Sound is not reduced if each
fuel injector connector is dis-
connected in turn. (NOTE*) Unusually worn valve lifter
Worn cam gear
Worn camshaft journal bore in crankcase
Squeaky sound — Insufficient generator lubrication
Rubbing sound — Defective generator brush and rotor contact
Gear scream when starting
engine— Defective ignition starter switch
Worn gear and starter pinion
Sound like polishing glass with
a dry cloth— Loose drive belt
Defective water pump shaft
Hissing sound — Loss of compression
Air leakage in air intake system, hoses, connections or mani-
folds
Timing belt noise — Loose timing belt
Belt contacting case/adjacent part
Valve tappet noise — Incorrect valve clearance
