      5. Inspect the engine idling speed.

        Idling speed: 650 to 750 rpm for manual transaxle 

        650 to 750 rpm for automatic transaxle 

        NOTE:
        • Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C OFF.
        • Inspect the idling speed with the cooling fan OFF.
        • When checking the idling speed, shift the transmission to either the neutral position or the parking position.
      6. Turn the ignition switch off.
      7. Disconnect the Techstream from the DCL3.
    2. When not using a Techstream.
      1. Warm up and stop the engine.
      2. Install SST to terminal 9 (TAC) of the DLC3, then connect a tachometer.

        SST 09843-18040 

        NOTE: Examine the terminal numbers before connecting them. Connecting the wrong terminals can damage the engine.

      1. Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
      2. Fully open the throttle.
      3. While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

        Compression: 1471 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm 2  , 213 psi) 

        Minimum pressure: 1079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm 2  , 156 psi) 

        Difference between each cylinder: 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm 2  , 14 psi) or less 

        NOTE:
        • Use a fully-charged battery so the engine speed can be increased to 250 rpm or more.
        • Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
        • Measure the compression in as short a time as possible.
      4. If the cylinder compression is low, pour a light coat of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, then inspect it again.

        HINT:

        • If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
        • If the pressure stays low, the valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage from the gasket.
    7. Connect the 4 fuel injector connectors.
    8. Install the 4 spark plugs.

      Torque: 20 N*m (204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf) 

    9. Install the 4 ignition coils (See INSTALLATION ).
    10. Install No. 2 cylinder head cover (See INSTALLATION ).
  9. INSPECT CO/HC 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
    3. Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft) into the tailpipe while idling.
    4. Check the CO/HC concentration during idling and when running at 2500 rpm.

      HINT:

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

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

      1. Check the heated oxygen sensor operation (see INSPECTION ).
      2. See the table below for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
