5.Start the engine and let it run at idle.
6.Check that ignition timing is at the standard value.
Standard value: approximately 10° BTDC
7.Run the engine at 2,500 r/min for 2 minutes.
8.Set the CO, HC tester.
9.Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.
Standard value
    CO contents: 0.3 % or less
    HC contents: 200 ppm or less

11.
  • Diagnosis output
  • Fuel pressure
  • Injector
  • Ignition coil, spark plug
  • Evaporative emission control system

note Replace the three way catalyst when the CO and HC contents are not within the standard value, even though the result of the inspection is normal on all items.
