Diagnosis of engine condition by measurement of intake manifold vacuum
Vacuum gauge indicationPossible engine condition
1. Needle is steady but lower than normal position. This tendency becomes more evident as engine temperature rises.Air leakage around intake manifold gasket, disconnection or damage of vacuum hose
2. Needle intermittently drops to position lower than normal position.Leakage around cylinder
3. Needle drops suddenly and intermittently from normal position.Sticky valve
4. When engine speed is gradually increased, needle begins to vibrate rapidly at certain speed, and then vibration increases as engine speed increases.Weak or broken valve springs
5. Needle vibrates above and below normal position in narrow range.Defective ignition system

  1. Visually check the oil seals for leaks, and rod ends for abnormal wear and scratches. If necessary, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly. NOTE: Slight traces of oil at rod's oil seal does not indicate a problem.
  2. Check that the adjuster rod does not move when a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) is applied to it. This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.
  3. If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely when applying 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb), check it using the following procedures: Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the end surface of cylinder. Repeat this operation two to three times. With the adjuster rod moved all the way up, apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) to it. Check the adjuster rod stiffness. If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves down, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly with a new one. CAUTION: Always use a vertical type pressing tool to move the adjuster rod down. Do not use a lateral type vise. Push the adjuster rod vertically. Press the adjuster rod gradually taking more than three minutes. Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 1b). Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylinder.
  4. Measure the amount of rod protrusion beyond the body. If it is not within specified range, replace with new one. Amount of rod protrusion H: 5.2 - 6.2 mm (0.204 - 0.244 in) see scheme 87: Identifying Rod Protrusion

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART

Type of soundConditionPossible cause
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine speed increases.Valve mechanism is defective. Incorrect valve clearance Worn valve rocker Worn camshaft Broken valve spring
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low.Worn camshaft main bearing Worn connecting rod bearing (large end)
Oil pressure is normal.Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank (Spark knock)Sound is noticeable when accelerating with an overload condition.Ignition timing advanced Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber Wrong spark plug Improper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is 1,000 to 2,000 rpmNoise is reduced when fuel injector connector of noisy cylinder is disconnected. ( (1) )Worn camshaft main bearing Worn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine is operating under idling speed and engine is warmNoise is reduced when fuel injector connector of noisy cylinder is disconnected. ( (1) )Worn cylinder liner and piston ring Broken or stuck piston ring Worn piston pin and hole at piston end of connecting rod
Sound is not reduced if each fuel injector connector is disconnected in turn. ( (1) )Worn cam sprocket Worn camshaft journal bore in cylinder head assembly
Squeaky soundInsufficient generator lubrication
Rubbing soundPoor contact of generator brush and rotor
Gear scream when starting engineDefective ignition starter switch Worn gear and starter pinion
Sound like polishing glass with a dry clothLoose drive belt Defective water pump shaft
Hissing soundInsufficient compression Air leakage in air intake system, hose, connection or manifold
Timing belt noiseLoose timing belt Belt contacting with case/adjacent part
Valve noiseIncorrect valve clearance
