Mazda 2: Engine Tune-up

Engine Tune-up Preparation

NOTE:

• If the accelerator pedal is depressed continuously for a specified time, the engine speed may decrease to the idle speed. This is due to the fuel cut control operation, which prevents overheating, and it does not indicate a malfunction.

1. Verify the following:

• ATX: Selector lever is in P or N position.
• MTX: Shift lever is in neutral position.

2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.

1. Increase the engine speed to 2,500-3,000 rpm until the cooling fan starts running.
2. When the cooling fan starts running, release the accelerator pedal and wait until the cooling fan stops running.

3. Turn off all electrical loads.

4. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

Idle Speed Inspection

NOTE:

• Idle speed is not adjustable.
• Idle speed verification requires M-MDS.

1. Complete the engine tune-up preparation. (See Engine Tune-up Preparation).

2. Verify that the idle speed (M-MDS: RPM PID) is within the specification.

Idle speed (ATX: P, N position , MTX: Neutral position)

• 600-700 rpm

Ignition Timing Inspection

NOTE:

• The ignition timing cannot be adjusted.
• The M-MDS is required to verify the ignition timing.

1. Complete the engine tune-up preparation. (See Engine Tune-up Preparation).

2. Verify the ignition timing (M-MDS: SPARKADV) using the PID/data monitor function of the M-MDS.

Ignition timing

• Approx. BTDC 7
