[VK56DE]

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

13. If idle speed and ignition timing are not within the specifications, Idle Air Volume Learning will not be car-

ried out successfully. In this case, find the cause of the incident by referring to the DIAGNOSTIC PROCE-
DURE below.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

If idle air volume learning cannot be performed successfully, proceed as per the following:
1.

Check that throttle valve is fully closed.

2.

Check PCV valve operation.

3.

Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air leakage.

4.

When the above three items check out OK, engine component parts and their installation condi-
tion are questionable. Check and eliminate the cause of the incident.
It is useful to perform

EC-557, "Inspection Procedure"

.

5.

If any of the following conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the
incident and perform Idle Air Volume Learning again:
• Engine stalls.
• Erroneous idle.
