1. 2200 cc MODEL
1) After warming-up the engine, turn ignition
switch to OFF.
2) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
3) Remove all the spark plugs.
4) Disconnect connectors from fuel injectors.
5) Fully open throttle valve.
6) Check the starter motor for satisfactory perfor-
mance and operation.
7) Hold the compression gauge tight against the
spark plug hole.
CAUTION:
When using a screw-in type compression
gauge, the screw (put into cylinder head spark
plug hole) should be less than 18 mm (0.71 in)
long.
8) Crank the engine by means of the starter motor,
and read the maximum value on the gauge when
the pointer is steady.
