Distributor 4 COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK 11100260352

pin connector 1. Before inspection, check that the engine oil, starter and
battery are normal. In addition, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cables.
3. Remove all of the spark plugs.
4. Disconnect the distributor connector.
NOTE
Doing this will prevent the engine-ECU from carrying out
ignition and fuel injection.
5. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., and
after the engine has been cranked, check that no foreign
material is adhering to the shop towel.

Compression gauge Caution

1. Keep away from the spark plug hole when
cranking.
2. If compression is measured with water, oil, fuel,
etc., that has come from cracks inside the cylinder,
these materials will become heated and will gush
out from the spark plug hole, which is dangerous.
6. Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and
measure the compression pressure.
Standard value (at engine speed of 250–400 r/min):
4G63: 1,270 kPa
4G64: 1,320 kPa
Limit (at engine speed of 250–400 r/min):
4G63: min. 960 kPa
4G64: min. 1,000 kPa
 ENGINE <4G6> – On-vehicle Service 11A-13
8. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders,
and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders
are below the limit.
Limit: max. 100 kPa
9. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression
difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat
the operations in steps (7) and (8).
(1) If the compression increases after oil is added, the
cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston
ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is added,
the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure
is leaking from the gasket.
10. Connect the distributor connector.
11. Install the spark plugs and spark plug cables.
12. Use the MUT-II to erase the diagnosis codes.
NOTE
This will erase the problem code resulting from the
distributor connector being disconnected.

Vacuum gauge MANIFOLD VACUUM CHECK 11100270270

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the

temperature of the engine coolant reaches 80 to 95_C.
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Attach a three-way union to the vacuum hose between
the fuel pressure regulator and the air intake plenum,
and connect a vacuum gauge.
4. Start the engine and check that idle speed is within
specification. Then read off the vacuum gauge.
Standard value: min. 60 kPa

LASH ADJUSTER CHECK 11100290214

Good NOTE
Soon after the engine is started or while it is running, abnormal
MAX noise (clattering) which may be attributed to the adjuster
MIN
sounds but does not stop. In this case, check the following.
1. Check the engine oil, and refil or replace oil if necessary.
NOTE
1. If the oil amount is small, air will be sucked from
the oil strainer and mixed in the oil passage.
2. If the oil amount is excessive, the oil will be stirred
by the crank and mixed with a large amount of air.
3. Air and oil can not be separated easily in the
deteriorated oil, and the amount of air mixed in the
oil increases.
High
pressure If such mixed-in air enters the high pressure chamber
chamber in the lash adjuster, the air in the high-pressure chamber
will be compressed while the valve is opened, the lash
adjuster will be excessively compressed and abnormal
noise will be produced when the valve is closed.
This is the same phenomenon which occurs when the
valve clearance is improperly adjusted to be excessively
large.
However, it will return to be normal if the air entrapped
in the adjuster is released in this case.
2. Start the engine, and slowly race* it several times (10
times or less).
If the abnormal noise is eliminated by racing the engine,
it means that the air is released from the high-pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster and the function of the lash
adjuster is returned to normal.
* Gradually increase the engine speed from the idle
speed to 3,000 r/min (for 30 seconds), and then
gradually slow down the engine to the idling speed
(for 30 seconds).
NOTE
1. If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long time,
the oill will be sometimes reduced in the lash adjuster,
and air will enter the high-pressure chamber when
the engine is started.
2. After the vehicle is parked for a long time, the oil
will go out of the oil passage. Since it takes a little
time to supply oil to the lash adjuster, air sometimes
enters the high-pressure chamber.
 ENGINE <4G6> – On-vehicle Service 11A-15
Exhaust valve side 3. If any abnormal noise is not eliminated by racing, check
the lash adjuster.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Set the engine so that cylinder No. 1 is positioned
at the top dead centre of the compression.
(3) Press the rocker arm at the area indicated by the
white arrow mark to check whether the rocker arm
is lowered or not.
(4) Slowly turn the crankshaft 360 degrees clockwise.
(5) In the same procedure as step (3), check the rocker
Intake valve side arm at the area indicated by the black arrow mark.

(6) If the rocker arm is easily lowered when the section

directly above the lash adjuster of the rocker arm
is pressed, the lash adjuster is defective, so replace
it.
Moreover, if it is felt to be so hard that the rocker
arm is not lowered when it is pressed, the lash adjuster
is normal. Check for other causes of the abnormality.
For Y-formed rocker arm at the exhaust valve side,
if one lash adjuster is defective and the other is normal,
it is impossible to press the rocker arm. In this case,
remove the lash adjuster and carry out the leak down
test.
NOTE
1. A leak down test can be performed to accurately
determine whether the lash adjuster is defective or
not.
2. For the procedures for the leak down test and air
bleeding of the lash adjuster, refer to the Engine
Workshop Manual.
