Oh, OK. I don't know how much slack is supposed to be in the timing chain.
There is a tensioner that should take care of most slack. In any event, the
only way a slack chain could be a problem is if it skipped a tooth on one of
the cam sprockets or the crank, which is possible but pretty unlikely.
>My 1.6 does have two chains because of double overhead cams.
I was dead sure you were wrong about this, but I just checked the factory
service manual and there is an upper chain and a lower chain.

Definitely need to check that.

This info is for an SE-R, but the process is the same for a 1.6. I did this
a while back. It's easy and will make a difference if it's not set right.

>adjust the idle on the intake manifold?
OK, there are some steps you have to follow. Straight from the Factory
Service Manual:
1)Make sure engine is at normal operating temperature
2)Turn off engine and unplug TPS harness
3)start engine
4)race engine (2K-3K rpm) 2 or 3 times under no load and run engine at idle
speed
5)check idle
6)adjust idle speed by turning idle speed adjusting screw.
The "idle speed adjusting screw" is a plastic screw/dial on a sensor cluster
on the passenger side of the intake plenum. It should be the only thing
there that can be adjusted and will face the front of the car.
Once you have adjusted the idle, kill the engine, plug the TPS back in,
re-start the car and check the idle again. Repeat the above if necessary.
