Tune-Up Notes
NOTE:
In order to comply with emission standards, specifications shown on engine compartment emission control tune-up decal must be used in all instances.
NOTE:
The 1.6L engine is supplied with 2 different emission control systems. "System A" applies to all Federal models (except 5-speed). "System 8" applies to all other models.
CAUTION:
Before making compression test, or cranking engine with a remote starter switch, disconnect ignition switch connector (pink wire) from H.E.I, system.
CAUTION:
Do not remove spark plug wires with engine running. H.E.I, secondary voltage is higher than standard ignition systems and may inflict harmful electrical shock.
CAUTION:
Damage to the H.E.I, electronic module and/or coil may result if "TACH" terminal is directly grounded.
ENGINE COMPRESSION
| Compression Ratio | ||
| 1.6L | 9.2:1 | |
| 1.8L | 9.0:1 | |
| 2.0L | 9.0:1 | |
| 2.5L | 8.2:1 | |
| Compression Pressure | ||
| 1.6L | 145 psi | |
| 1.8L & 2.0L | 100 psi (Minimum) | |
| 2.5L | 140 psi | |
| Max. Variation Between Cylinders | ||
| 1.6L, 2.5L | 20 psi | |
| All Others | 30% | |
Test compression pressure with engine at normal operating temperature, all spark plugs removed and throttle and choke valves wide open. Crank engine through 6 compression strokes to make compression reading.
