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.

Service Code ErasingSubthrottle Sensor Output Voltage Inspection
Measure the output voltage at the subthrottle sensor in
the same way as input voltage inspection, note the following.
Disconnect the subthrottle sensor connector and connect
the setting adapter [A] between these connectors.

Fuels Containing Oxygenates
Gasoline frequently contains oxygenates
(alcohols and ethers) especially
in areas of the U.S. and Canada
which are required to sell such reformulated
fuels as part of a strategy to
reduce exhaust emissions.
The types and volume of fuel oxygenates
approved for use in unleaded
gasoline by th ...
Piston Ring End Gap Inspection
Place the piston ring [A] inside the cylinder (upper
crankcase), using the piston to locate the ring squarely
in place. Set it close to the bottom of the cylinder, where
cylinder wear is low.
Measure the gap [B] between the ends of the ring with a
thickness gauge.
Piston Ring End Gap ...
