ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTE: Swift DOHC uses hydraulic lifters. No adjustments are
required.
Samurai & Sidekick
1) Remove valve cover. Rotate engine until zero degree (TDC)
timing mark of timing belt cover is in line with timing mark on
crankshaft pulley. See Fig. 1.
2) Ensure cylinder No. 1 is at TDC on compression stroke.
Remove distributor cap. On Samurai and Sidekick (TBI), ensure rotor is
pointed upward at distributor hold-down bolt and to No. 1 terminal of
distributor cap. On Sidekick (MPI), ensure rotor is at about 1 o’clock
position and pointed to No. 1 terminal of distributor cap. If rotor is
not as described, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees.
3) Measure valve clearance between adjustment screw and valve
stem using shim thickness gauge. Check intake valve clearance of
cylinders No. 1 and 2 and exhaust valve clearance of cylinders No.
1and 3. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table.
4) Turn crankshaft one complete revolution (360 degrees).
Check intake valve clearance of cylinders No. 3 and 4 and exhaust
valve clearance of cylinders No. 2 and 4.
5) Adjust valves by loosening lock nut and turning adjusting
screw until clearance is as specified. After adjusting clearance,
tighten adjusting screw lock nut to 11.0-13.5 ft. lbs. (15-18 N.m) for
Samurai or 90-108 INCH lbs. (10-13 N.m) on Sidekick. On all models,
recheck clearance.
1) Remove valve cover. Remove right inner fender apron
extension to enable timing marks to be seen. Align crankshaft pulley
timing mark with TDC mark on timing belt cover. See Fig. 1.
2) Remove distributor cap. Ensure rotor is pointing upward
toward distributor hold-down bolt and to No. 1 terminal of distributor
cap. If rotor is not as described, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees.
3) Measure valve clearance between adjustment screw and valve
stem using shim thickness gauge. Check intake valve clearance of
cylinders No. 1 and 2 and exhaust valve clearance of cylinders No.
1and 3. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. Turn crankshaft one
complete revolution (360 degrees). Check intake valve clearance of
cylinders No. 3 and 4 and exhaust valve clearance of cylinders No. 2
and 4.
4) Adjust valves by loosening lock nut and turning adjusting
screw until clearance is as specified. Hold adjusting screw while
tightening lock nut to 11.0-13.5 ft. lbs. (15-18 N.m). Recheck
clearance.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: Verify that increasing engine speed advances ignition timing.
Samurai & Sidekick
1) Ensure transmission is in Neutral or Park and parking
brake is set. Inspect crankshaft pulley timing mark and timing mark
indicator on timing belt cover. See Fig. 1. Clean marks as required.
Start engine, and warm it to normal operating temperature. Turn engine
off with ignition on for 5 seconds. Restart engine. Run engine at 2000
RPM for 5 minutes, and then return it to idle. Turn all accessories
off. Attach timing light to No. 1 spark plug wire. Ensure idle speed
is correct. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table under IDLE SPEED &
MIXTURE.
CAUTION: Driving with jumper wire installed in monitor coupler will
damage catalytic converter.
2) Remove protective cap from monitor coupler located next to
battery. Connect jumper wire between terminals "C" (ground) and "D"
(test switch). See Fig. 2. Aim timing light at crankshaft pulley and
timing cover timing marks. If ignition timing is not within
specification, loosen distributor hold-down flange bolts, and rotate
distributor to obtain correct ignition timing. See IGNITION TIMING
table. Tighten distributor hold-down flange bolts, and recheck
ignition timing.
NOTE: With jumper wire installed, timing should be fixed. If
timing varies, terminal "D" is not properly grounded.
3) Remove jumper wire from monitor coupler. Ensure ignition
timing advances as engine speed increases. If ignition timing does not
advance, check TPS, monitor coupler wiring circuit, engine start
signal circuit and ECM.

(1) - See Fig. 1 for timing mark location.
(2) - With jumper wire installed between "C" and "D" terminals of
monitor coupler connector, located near battery. See Fig. 2.
(3) - With jumper wire installed between "D" and "E" terminals of
monitor coupler connector, located near ignition coil.
See Fig. 3.
1) Ensure transmission is in Neutral or Park. Set parking
brake. Inspect crankshaft pulley timing mark and timing mark indicator
on timing belt cover. See Fig. 1. Clean marks as required. Start
engine, and warm it to normal operating temperature. Turn all
accessories off. Attach timing light to No. 1 spark plug wire. Ensure
idle speed is correct. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table under IDLE
SPEED & MIXTURE.
CAUTION: Driving with jumper wire installed in monitor coupler will
damage catalytic converter.
2) Connect terminals "D" (ground) and "E" (test switch) of
monitor coupler. See Fig. 3. Aim timing light at crankshaft pulley and
timing cover timing marks. If ignition timing is not within
specification, loosen distributor hold-down bolt and rotate
distributor to obtain correct ignition timing. See IGNITION TIMING
table. Tighten distributor hold-down bolt, and recheck ignition
timing.

1) Remove distributor cap and rotor. Using non-magnetic shim
thickness gauge, measure air gap between reluctor tooth and pick-up
coil. See PICK-UP COIL AIR GAP table. If adjustment is required,
loosen pick-up coil plate hold-down screws.
2) Using blade screwdriver, move pick-up coil plate to adjust
air gap to specification. See PICK-UP COIL AIR GAP table. Tighten
screws, and recheck air gap. Ensure no metal particles are on pick-up
coil tooth.
NOTE: Mixture is not adjustable. Mixture is controlled by ECM from
various sensor inputs.
COLD (FAST) IDLE
NOTE: Cold start or fast idle speed is not adjustable. Air valve
operation supplies by-pass air for cold starting.
IDLE SPEED
NOTE: DO NOT adjust idle speed in areas above 8200 ft. elevation.
Samurai
1) Start engine, and warm it to normal operating temperature.
Install spare fuse into diagnosis terminal of fuse box, and ensure
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) indicates Code 12. See Fig. 4.
2) Turn engine off. Connect Duty Meter (99963-00006) to
monitor coupler duty check terminal "A" and ground terminal "C". See
Fig. 2. Test connector is located near battery. Turn ignition on, and
wait 5 seconds.
3) Start engine, run it at 2000 RPM for 5 minutes and then
return it to idle. Using duty meter, ensure idle speed and IAC duty
percentage are within specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS and
IAC DUTY AT SPECIFIED IDLE SPEED tables. If idle speed and/or IAC duty
percentage require adjustment, remove idle speed adjusting screw
protective cap on throttle body. To adjust idle speed, turn adjusting
screw. See Fig. 5.
4) When idle speed and IAC duty percentage are within
specification and vehicle is equipped with A/C, go to step 5). If
vehicle is not equipped with A/C, reinstall idle speed adjusting screw
protective cap to throttle body. Remove duty meter from monitor
coupler, and rein-stall cap. Remove spare fuse from diagnosis terminal
of fuse box.
5) Turn A/C on, and set fan switch to LOW position. Check
idle speed and IAC duty percentage. If idle speed and/or IAC duty
percentage is not within specification, turn A/C VSV adjusting screw
to adjust idle. See Fig. 6.
