Intake Manifold Vacuum
MECHANICAL
5. Intake Manifold Vacuum
A: INSPECTION
1) Idle 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 read the vac-
uum gauge indication.
By observing the gauge needle movement, internal
condition of the engine can be diagnosed as de-
scribed below.
Vacuum pressure (at idling, A/C OFF):
–60.0 kPa ( –450 mmHg, –17.72 inHg) or less

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, disconnection or
damage of vacuum hose
2. Needle intermittently drops to position lower than normal
position.
Leakage around cylinder
3. Needle drops suddenly and intermittently from normal posi-
tion.
Sticky valve
4. 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 spr ings
5. Needle vibrates above and below normal position in narrow
range.
Defective ignition system or throttle chamber idle adjustment

10) Measure the clearance of intake valve and ex-
haust valve using thickness gauge (A).
NOTE:
•Measure it within the range of ±30° from speci-
fied position shown in the figure.
•Measure it in low lift cam for intake side.
•Insert a thickness gauge in a direction as hori-
zontal as possible with respect to the valve lifter.

Intake:
0.20 +0.04 –0.06 mm (0.0079 +0.0016 –0.0024 in)
Exhaust:
0.35±0.05 mm (0.0138±0.0020 in)
•If the measured value is not within specification,
take notes of the value in order to adjust the valve
clearance later on.

pact due to drop etc.

lowing table using the measured valve clearance
and shim thickness.
