IGNITION TIMING
PURPOSE

The fuel system and ignition system should be correctly

functioning for the engine to run smoothly. Hence,
proper operation of the fuel system and ignition system
must be determined prior to troubleshooting. Therefore,
the purpose of ignition timing is to check if the ignition
system is operating properly.
IGNITION TIMING
CHECK CONDITION
- WARMING UP TEMPERATURE
- ALL ELECTRICAL LOADS OFF
- A/T : "P" OR "N"
- IDLE RPM IS NORMAL

CHECK PROCEDURE
1. INSTALL A TIMING LIGHT
2. GROUND THE IGNITION

4. ADJUST THE IGNITION TIMING

IF THE IGNITION TIMING IS OUT
OF SPECIFICATION
5. IF THE TIMING CAN NOT BE
ADJUSTED(some of engine
ignition timing can not be adjusted),
PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT
COMPONENT
IGNITION TIMING

NOTICE !
z DO NOT USE THE SCAN TOOL TO CHECK THE
IGNITION TIMING . THE IGNITION TIMING SHOWN IN
CURRENT DATA ON THE SCAN TOOL IS NOT
ACTUAL IGNITION TIMING BUT IT IS ELECTRICAL
TIMING .
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
PURPOSE

The engine running condition must be checked at the initial

stage of troubleshooting. During idle state, the RPM and
torque is low and the reaction of the engine may be easily
seen. Also, basic idle RPM may be checked and adjusted
during idle and various information regarding the effects of
a problem can be obtained.

8. IF THE BASIC IDLE SPEED IS OUT OF SPECIFICATION,
ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED BY USING THE IDLE SPEED

AND CARBON BUILD UP.

IDLE RPM CANNOT BE

ADJUSTED MANUALLY IN
THE SOME OF ENGINES.
THEREFORE, IF THERE IS
A PROBLEM IN RPM,
ACQUISITION
COMPONENTS SHOULD BE
CHECKED.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
PURPOSE

The Throttle Position Sensor(TPS) senses the throttle

position and has a significant influence on the ignition timing
and RPM. The corresponding output voltage of the throttle
position must be checked and adjusted accordingly.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
CHECK PROCEDURE-EXCEPT IDLE SWITCH INTEGRATED TYPE

APPLICABLE VEHICLE :
EXCEL, ELANTRA(95MY),
SONATA(EXCEPT V6)

1. CONNECT SCAN TOOL TO THE

DATA LINK CONNECTOR
2. TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO
THE ON POSITION (DO NOT
START) AND CHECK THAT THE
TP SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS
480mV - 520mV
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
CHECK PROCEDURE-EXCEPT IDLE SWITCH INTEGRATED TYPE
3. IF IT IS OUT OF SPECIFICATION, MAKE CORRECT
ADJUSTMENT.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
CHECK PROCEDURE-IDLE SWITCH INTEGRATED TYPE

1. CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL

2. CHECK CURRENT DATA WHILE THE THROTTLE LEVER
OPERATION
3. THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA SHOULD BE
INSIDE OF SPECIFICATION WHEN THE IDLE SWITCH IS
ON
4. IF NOT, ADJUST IDLE SWITCH FIRST. CHECK THE
CURRENT DATA OF THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
5. IF THE CURRENT DATA IN NOT WITHIN THE
SPECIFICATION AFTER ADJUSTMENT OF IDLE SWITCH.
REPLACE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
FUEL PRESSURE TEST

PURPOSE

A correctly functioning fuel system is essential for the engine

to run smoothly. The fuel pressure test may be used to
determine the conditions of fuel pipe, fuel hose, fuel filter,
fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump and return hose.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
CHECK PROCEDURE
1. REDUCE THE INTERNAL PRESSURE OF THE FUEL
PIPES AND HOSES
(DISCONNECT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR START THE
ENGINE AND TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH "OFF" AFTER IT
STOPS BY ITSELF CONNECT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR)
2. INSTALL A FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE AND A FUEL
PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
CHECK PROCEDURE
3. START THE ENGINE AND CHECK THAT THERE IS
NO FUEL LEAKAGE
4. DISCONNECT THE VACUUM HOSE FROM THE
PRESSURE REGULATOR AND PLUG THE HOSE
END. MEASURE THE FUEL PRESSURE
5. MEASURE THE FUEL PRESSURE WHEN THE
VACUUM HOSE IS CONNECTED TO THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
SUSPECTED ITEMS
z FUEL PRESSURE TOO LOW -
FUEL FILTER, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, FUEL PUMP
z FUEL PRESSURE TOO HIGH -
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, RETURN HOSE OR PIPE
z FUEL PRESSURE DROPS SLOWLY AFTER ENGINE
HAS STOPPED -
INJECTOR LEAKAGE
z FUEL PRESSURE DROPS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE

TIMING BELT ALIGNMENT
PURPOSE

The function of the timing belt is to mechanically connect the

crankshaft and camshaft so the action of the valves(opening
and closing) becomes dictated by piston movement.

Note :
If the timing belt of SIRIUS DOHC becomes misaligned or cut,
damage may occur in the cylinder head or the valves.
