Exhaust System InspectionS7RS0B0206006
WARNING!
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
performed when it is cool.

When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle
is raised for other service, check exhaust system as
follows:
• Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of position.
• Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
• Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, ope n seams, holes, loose
connections or other defects which could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.
• Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from the underbody to avoid
overheating and possible damage to floor carpet.
• Any defects should be fixed at once.
Spark Plug ReplacementS7RS0B0206007
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “Spark
Plug Removal and Installation in Section 1H”.
Air Cleaner Filter InspectionS7RS0B0206008
1) Remove air cleaner case clamps.
2) Take air cleaner filter out of case.
3) Check that filter is not excessively dirty, damaged or oily, clean filter with compressed air from air outlet
side of filter.
4) Install air cleaner filter and Clamp cap securely.
Air Cleaner Filter ReplacementS7RS0B0206009
Replace air cleaner filter with new one according to
Steps 1), 2) and 4) of “Air Cleaner Filter Inspection”.
Fuel Lines and Connections InspectionS7RS0B0206010
Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for evidence
of fuel leakage, hose cracking and damage. Make sure
all clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being cracked.

Ignition Spark TestS7RS0B1804004
1) Remove air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe.
2) Disconnect all injector couplers from injectors.
WARNING!
Without disconnection of injector couplers,
combustible gas may come out from spark
plug holes during this test and may get
ignited in engine room.

3) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and
type referring to “Spark Plug Inspection”.
4) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly and connect spark plug to ignition coil
assembly or high-tension cord. Ground spark plug. 5) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
6) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as
described in “Ignition System Symptom Diagnosis”.
Repair Instructions
High-Tension Cord Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1806001
Removal
1) Remove air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Disconnect No.1 cylinder (2) and No.3 cylinder (3)
high-tension cords from ignition coil assemblies (1)
while gripping each cap.
3) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping each cap.
CAUTION!
• Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps will be recommended so as
not to damage their inside wire (resistive
conductor).
• For the same reason, pull out each connection by gripping cap portion.

Installation
1) Install No.1 cylinder (2) and No.3 cylinder (3) high-
tension cords to spark plugs and ignition coil
assemblies (1) while gripping each cap.
CAUTION!
• Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension cords as replacing parts.
• Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-tension cords.

ohmmeter.
If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s).

Spark Plug Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1806003
Removal
1) Remove air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then remove ignition coil assemblies referring to
“Ignition Coil Assembly (Inc luding ignitor) Removal
and Installation”.
3) Remove spark plugs.
Installation 1) Install spark plugs and tighten them to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Spark plug: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
2) Install ignition coil assemblies referring to “Ignition Coil Assembly (Including ignitor) Removal and
Installation”.
3) Install high-tension cords securely by gripping their caps.
4) Install cylinder head upper cover and air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe.
Spark Plug InspectionS7RS0B1806004
CAUTION!
• When servicing the iridium / platinum
spark plugs (slender center electrode type
plugs), do not touch the center electrode
to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not
strong enough against mechanical force
as it is slender and its material is not
mechanically tough.
• Do not clean or adjust gap for the iridium / platinum spark plugs.

Inspect spark plug for:
• Electrode wear
• Carbon deposits
• Insulator damage
If any abnormality is found for nickel spark plugs, adjust
air gap, clean with spark plug cleaner or replace them
with specified new plugs.
For iridium / platinum spark plugs, replace them with
new plugs.
Spark plug air gap
“a”
: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK: IFR6J11 (Iridium)
NOTE
NGK IFR6J11 is highly recommended for
better engine starting performance under –25
°C (–13 °F).
