(3) Pull out the wire harness shown in the

illustration.

(4) Connect the tester probe of a timing light to the

wire of the ignition coil connector for the No. 1
cylinder.
NOTICE:
•

Use timing light that detects the first
signal.

•

After checking, wrap the wire harness
with tape.

(5) Inspect the ignition timing during idling.

Ignition timing:

8 to 12

°CA BTDC during idling

(Transmission in neutral position)

(6) Remove SST from the DLC3.
(7) Inspect the ignition timing during idling.

Ignition timing:

7 to 24

°CA BTDC during idling

(Transmission in neutral position)

(8) Install the air cleaner.

INSPECT ENGINE IDLING SPEED
NOTICE:
•

Turn all the electrical systems OFF.

•

Operate the inspection when the cooling fan
motor is turned OFF.

(a) Warm up the engine.

(b) When using the intelligent tester:

(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /

ENHANCED OBD ll / DATA LIST / PRIMARY /
ENGINE SPD.

(3) Inspect the engine idling speed.

Idling speed:

650 to 750 rpm (Transmission in neutral
position)

(c) When not using the intelligent tester:

(1) Using SST, connect the terminal 8 (TAC) of the

DLC3.
SST

09843-18030

(2) Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for

approximately 90 seconds.

(3) Inspect the engine idling speed.

Idling speed:

650 to 750 rpm (Transmission in neutral
position)

INSPECT COMPRESSION
(a) Warm up and stop the engine.
(b) Remove the circuit opening relay (See page

ES-

443

).

(c) Remove the V-bank cover (See page

ES-414

).

(d) Remove the air cleaner assembly (See page

ES-

429

).

(e) Remove the throttle body bracket (See page

FU-

11

).

(f)

Remove the oil baffle plate (See page

FU-11

).

(g) Remove the No. 1 surge tank stay (See page

FU-

11

).

(h) Remove the No. 2 surge tank stay (See page

FU-

12

).

(i)

Remove the ignition coils (See page

IG-8

).

(j)

Remove the spark plugs.

(k) Inspect the cylinder compression pressure.

(1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug

hole. (*1)
SST

09992-00500

(2) Fully open the throttle. (*2)
(3) While cranking the engine, measure the

compression pressure. (*3)
Compression pressure:

1,300 kPa (13.3 kgf/cm

2

, 189 psi)

Minimum pressure:

1,000 kPa (10.2 kgf/cm

2

, 145 psi)

Difference between cylinders:

100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm

2

, 15 psi)

NOTICE:
•

Use a fully-charged battery so the engine
speed can be increased to 2,500 rpm or
more.

•

Inspect the other cylinders in the same
way.

•

Measure the compression in as short a
time as possible.

(4) If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small

amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (*1)
through (*3) for cylinders with low compression.
•

If adding oil increases the compression, the
piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be
worn or damaged.

•

If the pressure stays low, a valve may be
stuck or seated improperly, or there may be
leakage from the gasket.

10. INSPECT CO/HC

(a) Start the engine.
(b) Run the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 180

seconds.

(c) Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm

(1.3 ft) into the tailpipe during idling.

(d) Immediately check the CO/HC concentration during

idling and/or while running at 2,500 rpm.
HINT:
•

Complete the measurement within 3 minutes.

•

When carrying out the 2 mode (with the engine
idling/running at 2,500 rpm) test, the
measurement orders are prescribed by the
applicable local regulations.

(e) If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with

regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.
(1) Check the heated oxygen sensor operation.
