GENERAL TOOL

PROCEDURE

It is possible to conduct the following service procedures with engine on the vehicle, however, the procedures described in this section are based on the condition that the engine is removed from the vehicle.

  1. V-belt
  2. Timing belt
  3. Valve rocker assembly
  4. Camshaft
  5. Cylinder head

INSPECTION

CAUTIONAfter warming-up, engine becomes very hot. Be careful not to burn yourself during measurement.

Scheme 72

Scheme 72
  1. After warming-up the engine, turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
  3. Release the fuel pressure. < Ref. to «RELEASING OF FUEL PRESSURE»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2-2005-2007/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-injection-fuel-systems-h4so__releasing-of-fuel-pressure), PROCEDURE, Fuel. >
  4. Remove all the spark plugs. < Ref. to «REMOVAL»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2-2005-2007/remont/ignition-system/#ignition-h4so-engine__removal), Spark Plug. >
  5. Fully open the throttle valve.
  6. Check the starter motor for satisfactory performance and operation.
  7. Fix the compression gauge securely against the spark plug hole. NOTE: The screw of screw-in type compression gauge (put into cylinder head spark plug hole) should be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) long.
  8. Crank the engine by means of the starter motor, and then read the maximum value on the gauge when the needle of gauge is steady. (Scheme 48): Checking Compression Of Engine Using Compression Gauge
  9. Perform at least two measurements per cylinder, and make sure that the values are correct. Compression (350 rpm and fully open throttle): Standard: 1,020 - 1,275 kPa (10.4 - 13.0 kgf/cm 2, 148 - 185 psi) Difference between cylinders: 49 kPa (0.5 kgf/cm 2, 7 psi) or less

Scheme 73

Scheme 73: INSPECTION

Scheme 74

Scheme 74
  1. Before checking the idle speed, check the following: Ensure the air cleaner element is free from clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in good condition, and hoses are connected properly. Ensure the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate.
  2. Idle the engine.
  3. Stop the engine, and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  4. When using Subaru Select Monitor, refer to the following. < Ref. to «SPECIAL TOOL»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2-2005-2007/remont/mechanical/#engine-mechanical-h4so__special-tool), PREPARATION TOOL, General Description. > Insert the cartridge to the Subaru Select Monitor. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector. (Scheme 49): Locating Data Link Connector Turn the ignition switch to ON, and Subaru Select Monitor power switch to ON. Select {Each System Check} in the Main Menu. Select {Engine} in the Selection Menu. Select {Current Data Display & Save} in the Engine Control System Diagnosis. Select {Data Display} in the Data Display Menu. Start the engine, and read engine idle speed.
  5. When using the tachometer (Secondary pick-up type): Attach the pick-up clip to No. 1 cylinder spark plug cord. Start the engine, and read engine idle speed. (Scheme 50): Checking Engine Idle Speed Using Tachometer NOTE: This ignition system provides simultaneous ignition for #1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some tachometers may register twice that of actual engine speed.
  6. Check the idle speed when unloaded. (With headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, A/C, etc. OFF) Idle speed [No load and gears in "N" or "P" range]: MT model 650±100 rpm AT model 700±100 rpm
  7. Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the A/C switch to "ON" and operate the compressor for at least one minute before measurement. Idle speed [A/C "ON" and gears in "N" or "P" range]: 850±100 rpm NOTE: Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because the idle speed is automatically adjusted. If the idle speed is out of specifications, refer to General Diagnosis Table under "Engine Control System". < Ref. to «BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2-2005-2007/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-engine-diagnostics-h4so). >

Select {Each System Check} in the Main Menu. Select {Engine} in the Selection Menu. Select {Current Data Display & Save} in the Engine Control System Diagnosis. Select {Data Display} in the Data Display Menu. Start the engine, and read the ignition timing by idle speed. Ignition timing [BTDC/rpm]: MT model 10°±8°/650 AT model 15°±8°/700 If the timing is not correct, check the ignition control system. < Ref. to «BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2-2005-2007/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-engine-diagnostics-h4so). >
  1. Idle the engine.
  2. Disconnect the brake vacuum hose from the intake manifold, and then install the vacuum gauge.
  3. Keep the engine at the idle speed, and read the vacuum gauge indication.

By observing the gauge needle movement, the internal condition of the engine can be diagnosed as described below.

Scheme 75

Scheme 12: Checking Intake Manifold Vacuum Pressure Vacuum Gauge

Vacuum pressure (at idling, A/C "OFF")

Less than -60.0 kPa (-450 mmHg, -17.72 inHg)

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

  1. Visually check the oil seals for leaks, and rod ends for abnormal wear or 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 lbf) 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 lbf), check it using the following procedures: Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the end surface of the 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 lbf) 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 lbf). Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface of cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into cylinder.

Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly. Bring the reamer back while rotating it clockwise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to remove chips. CAUTION: Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming. If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn, the edge of the reamer should be slightly ground with an oil stone. If the inner surface of the valve guide becomes lustrous and the reamer does not chip, use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.

SYMPTOM 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 crankshaft main bearing Worn connecting rod bearing (big end)
Oil pressure is normal.Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank (Spark knock)Sound is noticeable when accelerating with an overload.Ignition timing advanced Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber Wrong spark plug Improper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is 1,000 to 2,000 rpmSound is reduced when fuel injector connector of noisy cylinder is disconnected. (1)Worn crankshaft main bearing Worn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine is operating under idling speed and engine is warmSound 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 soundDefective generator brush and rotor contact
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 soundLoss of compression Air leakage in air intake system, hoses, connections or manifolds
Timing belt noiseLoose timing belt Belt contacting with case/adjacent part
Valve noiseIncorrect valve clearance
