3. Set the timing light to the power supply line (terminal No. 3)

of the ignition coil No. 1.

4. Start the engine.
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
6. Check the actual ignition timing is at the standard value.

Standard value: Approximately 10

° BTDC

NOTE: The ignition timing fluctuates about

±

7

°

, even under

normal operating condition.
NOTE: It is automatically further advanced by about 5

°

from

10

°

Before Top Dead Center at higher altitudes.

7. Check the idle speed. Select item number 2 and take a

reading of the idle speed.

Curb idle speed: 650

± 100 r/min

NOTE: The idle speed is controlled automatically by the idle
air control system.

8. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, refer to

GROUP 13A, Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) <2.4L Engine>

−

− Symptom Chart

P.13A-54

.

9. Remove the timing light.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
10.Disconnect scan tool MB991958 from the data link

connector.

1. Before inspection, set the vehicle in the following condition:

• Engine coolant temperature: 80 − 95°C (176 − 203°F)

• Lights and all accessories: OFF

• Transaxie: P range

NOTE: On vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc.
remain lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.

necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
2. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

3. Set the timing light to the power supply line (terminal No. 3)

of the ignition coil No. 1.

4. Start the engine and let it run at idle.
5. Check that the actual ignition timing is at the standard value.

Standard value: Approximately 10

° BTDC

NOTE: The ignition timing fluctuates about

±

7

°

, even under

normal operating condition.
NOTE: It is automatically further advanced by about 5

°

from

10

°

Before Top Dead Center at higher altitudes.

NOTE: Wait till approximately 1 minute passes after the
engine started, and check the ignition timing when the
engine stabilized.

6. Run the engine and increase the engine speed to 2,000

−

3,000 r/min for 2 minutes.

7. Set the CO, HC tester.
8. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.

Standard value:

CO contents: 0.5% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less

9. If there is a deviation from the standard value, inspect the

MFI system (Refer to GROUP 13A

− Multiport Fuel Injection

(MFI) <2.4L Engine>

− Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI)

COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK

M1111002603293

Required Special Tool:
MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

1. Before inspection, check that the engine oil, starter and

battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle in the following
condition:

• Engine coolant temperature: 80 − 95°C (176 − 203°F)

• Lights and all accessories: OFF

• Transaxle: P range

NOTE: On vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc.
remain lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.

2. Remove all of the ignition coils and spark plugs.
3. Disconnect the all of the injector connectors.

WARNING

Keep your distance from the spark plug hole when
cranking. Oil, fuel, etc., may spray out from the spark
plug hole and may cause serious injury.

4. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., after the

engine has been cranked, check that no foreign material is
adhering to the shop towel.

5. Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
6. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and

measure the compression pressure.

Standard value (at engine speed of 200 r/min): 1,440

kPa (209 psi)

Limit (at engine speed of 200 r/min): Minimum 1,000

kPa (145 psi)

7. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders, and

check that the pressure differences of the cylinders are
below the limit.

Limit: Maximum 98 kPa (14 psi)
