ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 6E1-17
IDLE MIXTURE INSPECTION / ADJUSTMENT (VEHI-
CLE WITHOUT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR)
All vehicles not equipped with heated oxygen sensor are shipped
with their CO % factory adjusted as follows.
Engine idle mixture (CO %)
0.5 – 1.5 % at specified idle speed
Idle mixture adjustment should never be changed from the origi-
nal factory setting. However, if during diagnosis, the check indi-
cates idle mixture to be the cause of a driver performance
complaint or emission failure, the idle mixture can be adjusted
using the following procedures.
NOTE:
For this inspection and adjustment, exhaust gas tester
(CO meter) and engine tachometer are necessary.
1) Check idle speed according to "Idle Speed Inspection" sec-
tion.
2) Using exhaust gas tester, check that idle mixture CO % is
within above specification. If it is out of specification, adjust it
to specification by turning resistor knob.
NOTE:
Turning CO adjusting resistor knob to "A" increases CO
% (A/F mixture becomes rich) and turning it to "B"
decreases CO % (A/F mixture becomes lean).
1. CO adjusting resistor
3) If idle mixture has been adjusted, confirm that idle speed is
within specification.
