CAMRY, CELICA, COROLLA & MR2

1) With engine cold, remove valve cover. On Celica 3S-GTE
models, throttle body must be removed prior to valve cover removal.
See THROTTLE BODY article in N - REMOVE/INSTALL/OHAUL.
2) Rotate crankshaft pulley and align pulley groove with "0"
mark on timing belt cover to set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of compression
stroke. Ensure rocker arms on cylinder No. 1 are loose and those on
cylinder No. 4 are tight. If not, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees and
realign timing marks.
3) Measure and record intake valve clearance of cylinders No.
1 and 2, and exhaust valve clearance on cylinders No. 1 and 3. See
Fig. 1.
4) Rotate crankshaft clockwise 360 degrees and align groove
on crankshaft pulley with the "0" mark or pointer on timing belt
cover. With cylinder No. 4 at TDC, measure and record intake valve
clearance on cylinders No. 3 and 4, and exhaust valve clearance on
cylinders No. 2 and 4. See Fig. 1. Note if valve clearance is within
specification. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table in this
article.
5) To adjust valves, rotate crankshaft pulley to position
lobe upward on the valve to be adjusted. Use Valve Clearance Adjuster
(SST 09248-55010) to press valve lifter downward.
CAUTION: Prior to pressing lifter downward, ensure adjustment shim
notch area is toward the spark plug. See Fig. 2.

6) Press valve lifter downward using SST (A) and install SST
(B) between camshaft and valve lifter and remove SST (A) See Fig. 2.
Using a small screwdriver, remove adjustment shim.
7) Using a micrometer, measure thickness of shim just
removed. Select a new shim that will give correct valve clearance. See
VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table in this article. Shims are
available in thickness from .0787" (2.000 mm) to .1299" (3.300 mm) for
Celica 3S-GE and 3S-GTE models or .0984" (2.500 mm) to .1299" (3.300
mm) for all other models in .002" (.05 mm) increments.
8) Install proper thickness shim. Using SST (A), press
downward on valve lifter and remove SST (B). Recheck valve clearance.
Install remaining components.

1) Check and adjust valve clearance with engine at normal
operating temperature. Remove valve cover. Rotate crankshaft pulley
and align pulley groove with "0" mark on timing belt cover to set No.
1 cylinder at TDC of compression stroke.
2) Ensure rocker arms on cylinder No. 1 are loose and those
on cylinder No. 4 are tight. If not, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees and
realign timing marks.
3) Check and adjust intake valve clearance on cylinders No. 1
and 2, and exhaust valve clearance on cylinders No. 1 and 3 to
specification. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table in this
article.
4) Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees and realign timing marks.
Adjust intake valve clearance on cylinders No. 3 and 4, and exhaust
valve clearance on cylinders No. 2 and 4.

normal operating temperature. On all other models, adjust
valves with engine cold.

IGNITION TIMING
CAUTION: Some tachometers may not be compatible with ignition
system. Consult tachometer manufacturer before connecting
tachometer to system. DO NOT allow tachometer terminal to
become grounded or damage to ignitor and/or coil may exist.

1) Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Connect

timing light to engine. Connect tachometer to proper location. See
Figs. 3-9.
2) Install jumper wire between proper terminals of engine
check connector. See Figs. 10-16. Ensure idle speed is within
specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table in this article.
Note that base timing is within specification. See IGNITION TIMING
table (Degrees BTDC @ RPM) in this article. Adjust timing by turning
distributor.
3) On Corolla 4A-FE models, disconnect the Air Control Valve
(ACV) connector located near the cold start injector. See Fig. 17.
4) On all models, remove jumper wire from engine check
connector and check that advance timing is within specification. See
IGNITION TIMING table (Degrees BTDC @ RPM) in this article.

IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Mixture adjustment is NOT a part of normal tune-up procedure
and should not be performed unless mixture control unit is
 replaced or vehicle fails emissions testing.

NOTE: Adjust idle speed with air cleaner installed, all air intake
system hoses and vacuum lines connected, EFI system wiring
connectors tight, transmission/transaxle in Neutral, all
accessories and cooling fan off (if equipped) and engine at
normal operating temperature.

CAUTION: Some tachometers may not be compatible with ignition

system. Consult tachometer manufacturer before connecting
tachometer to system. DO NOT allow tachometer terminal to
become grounded or ignitor and/or coil may be damaged.

CAMRY & CELICA (3S-FE)

1) Install tachometer to proper terminals. See Fig. 3.
Install jumper wire between proper terminals of engine check
connector. See Fig. 10 or 12. Operate engine at 1000-1300 RPM for 5
seconds and return to idle speed. Note if idle speed is within
specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) If idle speed requires adjustment, remove rubber boot from
top of throttle body. See Fig. 18. Adjust idle speed adjusting screw
to obtain correct idle speed.
3) Remove jumper wire and note idle speed. Idle speed should
be within specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table in this
article. If idle speed is not within specification, start engine and
allow to idle for 30 seconds and then shut off.
4) Repeat procedure until idle data will be stored in the
idle speed control and idle speed will be maintained. Remove
tachometer.

CELICA (3S-GE)
1) Install tachometer to proper terminals. See Fig. 5. Start
and operate engine at 2500 RPM for approximately 2 minutes. Allow
engine to idle and pinch the No. 1 vacuum hose of air intake chamber
closed. See Fig. 19. Note if idle speed is within specification. See
IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table in this article.
2) If idle speed requires adjustment, remove rubber boot from

IDLE MIXTURE
NOTE: Idle mixture must be checked with air cleaner installed, all
air intake system hoses and vacuum lines connected, EFI
system wiring connectors tight, transmission/transaxle in
Neutral, all accessories and cooling fan off (if equipped)
and engine at normal operating temperature.

1) Ensure idle speed is within specification. Install jumper

wire between proper terminals of check engine connector. See Figs. 10
- 16. Connect positive (+) probe of voltmeter to terminal "VF" or
"VF1" and negative (-) probe to terminal "E1". See Fig. 22.
2) Start engine and maintain engine RPM at 2500 RPM for
approximately 2 seconds. With engine RPM at 2500, count the amount of
times that voltmeter fluctuates between the specified voltage. See
IDLE MIXTURE TEST SPECIFICATIONS table in this article.
3) If the amount of fluctuations is less than the minimum
amount, check for air leaks at the air induction system, defective
airflow meter or throttle body.
4) If fluctuations were within specification, accelerate and
hold engine at 2500 RPM for approximately 2 minutes. Install exhaust
gas analyzer probe in tailpipe approximately 1.3 ft. at least. Wait
one minute and check idle mixture readings. If readings are not within
specification, see IDLE MIXTURE TROUBLE SHOOTING table in this
article.
