COMPRESSION

INSPECTION

HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1.

WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE

Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2.

REMOVE ENGINE COVER

Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
3.

DISCONNECT IGNITION COILS AND HIGH–TENSION
CORD SET ASSEMBLY (See page

IG–7

)

4.

REMOVE SPARK PLUGS

5.

DISCONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS

6.

CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION

(a)

Insert a compression tester into the spark plug hole.

(b)

While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.

HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine revolutions
of 250 rpm or more.
(c)

Repeat steps (a) through (b) for each cylinder.

NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.

Compression:
1,324 kPa (13.5 kgf/cm

2

, 192 psi) or more

Minimum pressure:
1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm

2

, 156 psi)

Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm

2

, 14 psi) or less

(d)

If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (b) for
the cylinder with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are probably
worn or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improper, or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
