      GTY801473Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      1. Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
      2. While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

        Standard Compression Pressure

        1400 kPa (14.3 kgf/cm2 , 203 psi)

        Minimum Compression Pressure

        1200 kPa (12.2 kgf/cm2 , 174 psi)

        Pressure Difference between Each Cylinder

        200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 , 29 psi) or less

        NOTE:
        • Always use a fully charged battery to obtain an engine speed of 250 rpm or more.
        • Inspect all cylinders in the same way.
        • Measure the compression pressure as quickly as possible.
      3. If the cylinder compression pressure is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and inspect it again.

        HINT: 

        • If adding oil increases the compression pressure, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
        • If the compression pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leaks in the cylinder head gasket.
    13. Using an 8 mm socket wrench, install the throttle body with motor assembly to the intake manifold with the 3 bolts.

      Torque: 10 N*m (102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf)

  12. INSPECT CO/HC 

    HINT: 

    This check determines whether or not the idle CO/HC complies with regulations.

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
    3. Insert a CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft.) into the tailpipe during idle.
    4. Immediately check the CO/HC concentration during idle and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.

      HINT: 

      When performing a 2 mode (with the engine idling/running at 2500 rpm) test, the measurement procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.

      If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.

      1. Check for DTCs.

        Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2023 - ]

      2. See the following table for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.

        2. Plugged PCV valve
        3. Faulty SFI systems:
          • Fuel pressure regulator assembly
