If the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly does not turn smoothly or catches, replace the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly.




Hide 13750 8.INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY NOISE

a.

Rev up the engine several times. Check that the engine does not emit unusual noises.


b.

If unusual noises occur, warm up the engine and idle it for 30 minutes or more, then perform the inspection.

HINT:

If any defects or problems are found during the inspection, perform valve lash adjuster assembly inspection.

Hide 10.INSPECT ENGINE IDLE SPEED

a.

Warm up and stop the engine.


b.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.


c.

Start the engine and run it at idle.


d.

Turn the GTS on.


e.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display
Engine Speed
50003 372 211

f.

Read the value displayed on the tester.

Standard Idle Speed:

680 to 780 rpm


NOTICE:
·

Check the engine idle speed with the cooling fans off.

·

Turn off all electrical systems and the A/C.

·

When checking the engine idle speed, the transaxle should be in neutral or park.




Hide 11.INSPECT COMPRESSION

NOTICE:

Keep the spark plug holes free of foreign matter when measuring the compression pressure.


a.

Warm up and stop the engine.




d.
A421226

Disconnect the engine wire connector as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

Disable fuel injection in order to prevent catalyst damage due to unburned gasoline.



e.
A394549

Remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts and disconnect the intercooler assembly from the throttle body with motor assembly.


f.
A353270

Loosen the hose clamp and remove the intercooler assembly from the air tube assembly and throttle body with motor assembly.


g.

Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly.


h.

Check the cylinder compression pressure.

i.
A421227

Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.


ii.

While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

Standard Compression Pressure:

1080 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 157 psi)


Minimum Compression Pressure:

880 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psi)


Pressure Difference between Each Cylinder:

100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 15 psi) or less


NOTICE:
·

Always use a fully charged battery to obtain an engine speed of 250 rpm or more.

·

Inspect all cylinders in the same way.

·

Measure the compression pressure as quickly as possible.




iii.

If the cylinder compression pressure is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and inspect it again.

HINT:
·

If adding oil increases the compression pressure, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.

·

If the compression pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leaks in the cylinder head gasket.





i.

Connect the throttle body with motor assembly.


j.

Temporarily install the intercooler assembly to the air tube assembly and throttle body with motor assembly with the hose clamp.


k.

Temporarily install the intercooler assembly to the throttle body with motor assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.

Hide 12.INSPECT CO/HC

HINT:

This check determines whether or not the idle CO/HC complies with regulations.


a.

Start the engine.


b.

Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.


c.

Insert a CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft.) into the tailpipe during idle.


d.

Immediately check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

HINT:

When performing a 2 mode (with the engine idling/running at 2500 rpm) test, the measurement procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.

If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.
