22R–E MOTOR– MOTOREG1–1

DESCRIPTION The 22R–E engine is an in–line 4 cilindro 2.4 liter OHC 8 valve engine.MOTOR
MECHANICAL– MOTOR MOTOR MECHANICALEG1–2

The 22R–E engine is in–line 4–cilindro engine with the cilindros numbered 1–2–3–4 from the front.
The crankshaft is supported by 5 bearings inside the crankcase. These bearing are made of kelmet.
The crankshaft is integrated with 4 weights which are cast with it for balance. Oil holes are madein
the center of the crankshaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearing, pistons and
othercomponents. The firing order is 1–3–4–2. The cilindro head is made of aluminum alloy, with a
cross flow type intake and exhaust layout and with pent roof type combustion chambers. The spark
plugsare located to the left of the combustion chambers.Coolant is introduced into the intake
manifold, improving drivability during engine warm up.Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with
springs made, of special valve spring carbon steel which are capable of following no matter what
the engine speed. The camshaft is driven by a timing chain. The cam journal is supported at 3
places, located at thecenter and the front and rear of ends of each cilindro head. Lubrication of the
cam journal gearis accomplished by oil supplied through the oil passage in the cilindro head.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of an adjusting screw on the rocker arm for
easy adjustment.The timing chain cover is made of aluminum alloy, with a water pump and oil pump
on the outside.Pistons are made of highly temperature–resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression
is built into the piston head to prevent interference with valves. Piston pins are the full–floating type,
with the pins fastened to neither the connecting rods northe piston boss, but with a snap ring fitted
to both ends of each pin to prevent it from slipping out.The No. 1 compression ring is made of
stainless steel and the No. 2 compression ring is made ofcast iron. The oil ring is made of stainless
steel. The outer diameter of each piston ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the piston and the
flexibility of the rings allows them to hug the cilindro walls when they are mounted on the piston. No.
1 and No. 2 compression rings work toprevent leakage of gas from the cilindro and the oil ring
works to scrape oil off the cilindro wallsto prevent it from entering the combustion chambers. The
cilindro block is made of cast iron. It has 4 cilindros which are approximately 2 times the length of
the piston stroke. The top of each cilindro is closed off by the cilindro head and in thelower end of
the cilindros the crankshaft is installed, supported by 5 journals. In addition, thecilindro block
contains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the cilindros.The oil pan is bolted
onto the bottom of the cilindro block. The oil pan is an oil reservoir made of pressed steel sheet. A
dividing plate is included inside the oil pan to keep sufficient oil in the bottom of the pan even when
the vehicle is tilted. The dividing plate prevents the intake of air andallows oil circulation to be
maintained even if the oil forms waves when the vehicle brakessuddenly.– MOTOR MOTOR

TROUBLESHOOTING When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code
check and the problem still cannot be confirmed in the basic inspection, then proceed to this step
and performtroubleshooting to the numbers in the order given in the table below. HINT: When
inspecting a wire harness or circuit, the electrical wiring diagrams at the end of repair manual
should be referred to and the circuits of related systems also should be checked.Starter runs –
