IDLE SPEED/IGNITION TIMING/IDLE MIXTURE RATIO INSPECTION

EF & EC-31flowchart

This procedure is for non-catalyzer model only, without CO-meter. Idle speed specs apply: M/T 850±50 rpm; A/T 850±50 rpm in N position. Ignition timing 15°±2° B.T.D.C.

Idle Speed/Ignition Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio Inspection — Non-catalyzer model [Without CO-meter]

1
INSPECTION START
2
Confirm that engine is at normal operating temperature.
3
Check and adjust idle speed and ignition timing. Idle speed: rpm M/T 850±50 A/T 850±50 (in "N" position) Ignition timing: 15°±2° B.T.D.C. Refer to page EF & EC-22.
4
Turn off engine and remove air flow meter from vehicle.
5
Drill a hole in seal plug which seals air flow meter variable resister and remove seal plug.
6
Install air flow meter on vehicle. Start engine and warm it up untill water temperature indicator points to the middle of gauge.
7
Race engine two or three times under no-load, then run engine at idle.
8
Adjust mixture ratio with engine speed set at maximum by turning variable resistor.
9
Turn variable resistor of air flow meter 2 full turns counterclockwise.
10
Check idle speed. Idle speed: rpm M/T 850±50 A/T 850±50 (in "N" position)
O.K.
Stop engine.
Stop engine. INSPECTION END

11
Disconnect A.A.C. valve harness connector.
12
Adjust idle speed to 800 rpm by turning idle speed adjusting screw.
13
Connect A.A.C. valve harness connector.
