7. Remove fuel pump fuse (1) in IPDM E/R (2) to release fuel pres-

sure.

NOTE:

Do not use CONSULT-III to release fuel pressure, or fuel pres-

sure applies again during the following procedure.

8. Start engine.

9. After engine stalls, crank it 2 or 3 times to release all fuel pres-

sure.

10. Turn ignition switch OFF.

11. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electri-

cal discharge from the ignition coils.

12. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be

checked.

13. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.

14. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.

15. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm

between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion

as shown in the figure.

16. Crank engine for approximately 3 seconds, and check whether

spark is generated between the spark plug and the grounded

metal portion.

CAUTION:

• Never place the spark plug and the ignition coil within 50

cm each other. Be careful not to get an electrical shock

while checking, because the electrical discharge voltage

becomes 20 kV or more.

• It might damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm is made.

NOTE:

When the gap is less than 13 mm, a spark might be generated even if the coil is malfunctioning.

17. If NG, replace ignition coil with power transistor.

CONDENSER-1

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect condenser-1 harness connector.

3. Check resistance between condenser-1 terminals 1 and 2.

Spark should be generated.

ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)

ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)

System Description

INFOID:0000000005257906

From the beginning of refueling, the air and vapor inside the fuel tank go through refueling EVAP vapor cut

valve and EVAP/ORVR line to the EVAP canister. The vapor is absorbed by the EVAP canister and the air is

released to the atmosphere.

When the refueling has reached the full level of the fuel tank, the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve is closed and

refueling is stopped because of auto shut-off. The vapor which was absorbed by the EVAP canister is purged

during driving.

WARNING:

When conducting inspections below, always observe the following:

• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.

• Never smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.

• Always furnish the workshop with a CO

fire extinguisher.

CAUTION:

• Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:

- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put lid on securely.

- Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to 

EC-958, "Fuel Pressure Check"

.

- Disconnect battery ground cable.

• Always replace O-ring when the fuel gauge retainer is removed.

• Never kink or twist hose and tube when they are installed.

• Never tighten hose and clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.

• After installation, run engine and check for fuel leakage at connection.

• Never attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.

Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION

Description

INFOID:0000000005257909

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold.

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intake

manifold. During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the

PCV valve. Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any blow-by and a small amount of venti-

lating air. The ventilating air is drawn from the air inlet tubes into the crankcase. In this process the air passes

through the hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover. Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum

is insufficient to draw the blow-by flow through the valve. The flow goes through the hose connection in the

reverse direction.

On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not

meet the requirement. This is because some of the flow will go

through the hose connection to the air inlet tubes under all condi-

tions.

Component Inspection

INFOID:0000000005257910

PCV (POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION) VALVE

With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from rocker cover. A

properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes through

it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is

placed over valve inlet.
