1D-6 Engine Mechanical:
8) Disengage clutch (1) (to lighten starting load on
engine) for M/T vehicle, and depress accelerator
pedal (2) all the way to make throttle fully open.
9) Crank engine with fully charged battery, and read the
highest pressure on compression gauge.
NOTE
• For measuring compression pressure,
crank engine at least 250 r/min. by using
fully charged battery.
• If measured compression pressure is
lower than limit value, check installation
condition of special tool. If it is properly
installed, possibility is compression
pressure leakage from where piston ring
and valve contact.
Compression pressure
Standard: 1400 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm
Limit: 1100 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm
Max. difference between any two cylinders: 100
kPa (1.0 kgf/cm 2 , 14.2 psi)
10) Carry out Steps 7) through 9) on each cylinder to
obtain 4 readings.
11) After checking, install spark plugs and ignition coil
assemblies with high-tension cord referring to "Spark
Plug Removal and Installation in Section 1H".
12) Connect ignition coil couplers.
13) Connect fuel injector wires at the coupler.

Engine Vacuum Check

The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a
good indicator of the condition of the engine. The
vacuum checking procedure is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
NOTE
After warming up engine, place transmission
gear shift lever in "Neutral" (shift selector
lever to "P" range for A/T model), and set
parking brake and block drive wheels.
2) Stop engine and turn off the all electric switches.
3) Remove air cleaner assembly with air suction hose
referring to "Air Cleaner Assembly Removal and
Installation".
4) Remove PCV hose (1) from PCV valve (2).
5) Connect special tool (Vacuum gauge) to PCV hose
(1).
Special tool
(A): 09915–67311
6) Blind PCV valve (2) using tape (3) or the like.
