Plug Gap Inspection
CAUTION:
To avoid possible damage to the tip, do not adjust the plug gap.
To prevent damaging the tip, use a wire type plug gap gauge when inspecting the plug gap.
1. Measure the spark plug gap using a wire type plug gap gauge.
If not within the standard specification, replace the spark plug.
Standard: 0.75—1.10 mm {0.030—0.043 in}
New spark plug (reference): 0.75—0.85 mm {0.030—0.033 in}
Cleaning
CAUTION:
Carbon may adhere to the tip of the spark plug during vehicle delivery or repeated short distance driving during the winter time. If there is any malfunction such as rough idling or start difficulty due to carbon adhesion causing plug fouling, burn off the carbon by performing no-load racing of the engine.
When performing the no-load racing, apply the side brake and foot brake, move the shift lever to neutral (MTX), or the selector lever to P position (ATX) to prevent an accident and serious injury.
To avoid possible damage to the spark plug tip, do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
NOTE:
To avoid possible damage to the tip, use gasoline to clean the spark plugs after removing dirt.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed continuously for a specified time, the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is due to the PCM control operation, which prevents overheating, and it does not indicate a malfunction.
Do not perform no-load racing at high engine speed continuously for 10 s or more
.
1. If there is carbon adhering to the spark plug, perform no-load racing at 4,000 rpm
for 2 min
, 2 times
.
Visual Inspection
1. Inspect the following items:
If any of the following malfunctions are indicated, replace the spark plug.
Insulator breakage
Worn electrode
Damaged gasket
Badly burned insulator (sparking side)
Resistance Inspection
1. Measure the resistance of the spark plug using a tester as shown in the figure.
If not within specification, replace the spark plug.
3.0—7.5 kilohms
Passenger Compartment Temperature Sensor Inspection [Full Auto Air Conditioner]
1. Measure the temperature around the passenger compartment temperature sensor
and measure the resistance between passenger compartment temperature sensor terminals
A and B.
If the characteristics of the passenger compartment temperature sensor are
not as shown in the graph, replace t ...
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Removal/Installation
WARNING:
A hot engine and exhaust system can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine
and wait until they are cool before removing the exhaust system.
CAUTION:
Do not allow flammable objects such as the taping for bundling wiring harness
to come into contact with the exhau ...
Compression Inspection
WARNING:
Hot engines and oil can cause severe burns. Be careful not to burn yourself
during removal/installation of each component.
Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury
and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
