Engine coolant temperature: 80-95C (176-203F)

Lights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
Transaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with A/T)

(2) Insert a paper clip into the 1 pin connector (blue) as shown
in the illustration at left.

(3) Connect a primary-voltage-detection type of tachometer

to the paper clip.

NOTE
Do not use the scan tool.
If tested with the scan tool connected to the data link
connector, the ignition timing will not be the basic timing
but be ordinary timing.

(4) Set up a timing light.

(5) Start the engine and run at idle.
(6) Check that engine idle speed is within the standard value.

Curb idle speed: 700 k 100 rlmin

(7) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(8) Remove the waterproof connector from the ignition timing
adjustment connector (brown).
(9) Connect the jumper wire to the ignition timing adjustment
terminal, and a good ground as illustrated.
NOTE
Grounding this terminal sets the engine to basic ignition
timing.

F B I T l M l N G BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

(1) Initially loosen the fixing bolt of the tensioner pulley
fixed to the engine mount side by 1/2-1/4 turn, and
use the force of the tensioner spring to apply tension
to the belt.
(2) Turn the crankshaft clockwise for two rotations, and
recheck that the timing marks on each sprocket are
aligned.
Caution
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the
proper amount of tension to the tension side of
the timing belt by using the cam driving torque,
turn the crankshaft only by the amount given
above. Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(3) Check that all belt teeth in the section marked with
A are lifted up and that the teeth in each sprocket
are engaged. Then secure the tensioner pulley.
(4) Lastly, lightly clamp the center of the span between
the camshaft sprocket and the water pump sprocket
on the belt tension side with your thumb and forefinger
as shown in the illustration. Then check that the clearance A between the reverse surface of the belt and
the inside of the under cover seal line is at the standard
value.
