Diagnostic Procedure

1. Start engine and run it at idle.
2. Listen fro an exhaust gas leak before there way catalyst (manifold).

   OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 2.
2. NG: Repair or replace.

Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 3.
2. NG: Repair or replace.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect corresponding heated oxygen sensor 1 harness connector.
3. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal and HO2S1 terminal as follows.

   Refer to Wiring Diagram.

5. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal or HO2S1 terminal and ground as follows.

   Refer to Wiring Diagram.

6. Also check harness for short to power.

   OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE  .
2. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure. Refer to FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE  .

   At idling: 

   Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm ², 51 psi) 

   OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 5.
2. NG: Follow the instruction of FUEL PRESSURE CHECK  .

With CONSULT-II 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check MASS AIR FLOW in DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-II.

   2.0 - 6.0 g.m/sec: at idling 

   7.0 - 20.0 g.m/sec: at 2,500 rpm 

With GST 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check mass air flow sensor signal in MODE 1 with GST.

   2.0 - 6.0 g.m/sec: at idling 

   7.0 - 20.0 g.m/sec: at 2,500 rpm 

   OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 6.
2. NG: Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or engine grounds. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  .

With CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine.
2. Perform POWER BALANCE in ACTIVE TEST mode with CONSULT-II.

3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

Without CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine.
2. Listen to each injector operating sound.

   Clicking noise should be heard. 

   OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 7.
2. NG: Perform trouble diagnosis for INJECTOR  .

1. Remove injector assembly. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  .

   Keep fuel hose and all injectors connected to injector gallery.

2. Confirm that the engine is cooled to injector gallery.
3. Disconnect all injector harness connectors.
4. Disconnect all ignition coil harness connectors.
5. Prepare pans or saucers under each injectors.
6. Crank engine for about 3 seconds.

   Make sure fuel does not drip from injector.

   OK or NG 

1. OK (Does not drip.): GO TO 8.
2. NG (Drips.): Replace the injectors from which fuel is dripping. Always replace O-ring with new one.
