Note:
(1): D-J Method: When the engine load is light like at idling or low speed, the ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle vacuum (vacuum sensor output voltage) and engine speed (crankshaft sensor output voltage). This method is called D-J method.
(2): α-N Method: As the engine speed increases, and the engine load turns middle to heavy, the ECU determines the injection quantity by calculating from the throttle opening (throttle sensor output voltage) and the engine speed. This method is called α-N method.
*: This depends on the number of stopped cylinders.
The main throttle sensor is a rotating variable resistor that change output voltage according to throttle operating. The ECU senses this voltage change and determines fuel injection quantity, and ignition timing according to engine rpm, and throttle opening.

NOTE
Be sure the battery is fully charged.
Remove the air cleaner housing (see Air Cleaner Housing
Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Check to see that all the subthrottle valves [A] open and
close smoothly.

Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (r/min,
rpm).
On the right side of the tachometer
face is a portion called the “red zone�.
Engine r/min (rpm) in the red zone is
above maximum recommended engine
speed and is also above the range for
good performance.
