Basic Inspection: Precaution:

Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical loads applied;

Headlamp switch is OFF.
Air conditioner switch is OFF.
Rear window defogger switch is OFF.
Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.

INSPECTION START
1. Check service records for any recent repairs that may indicate a related malfunction, or a current need for scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the following:
  - Harness connectors for improper connections
  - Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections
  - Wiring for improper connections, pinches and cuts
  - Air cleaner clogging
  - Hoses and ducts for leaks

REPAIR OR REPLACE
Repair or replace components as necessary according to corresponding "Diagnostic Procedure".
1. GO TO 3.
CHECK TARGET IDLE SPEED
With CONSULT-II
1. Run engine at about 2,000 RPM for about 2 minutes under no-load.
2. Rev engine (2,000 to 3,000 RPM) two or three times under no-load, then run engine at idle speed for about 1 minute.

3. Read idle speed in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
  MT: 750+/-50 RPM
  
  AT: 750+/-50 RPM (in P or N position)
