FUEL EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM (EVAP)
The EVAP system allows for proper fuel system ventilation
while preventing fuel vapors from reaching the atmosphere. This means
that vapors must be caught and stored while the engine is off, which
is when most fuel evaporation occurs. When the engine is started,
these fuel vapors can be removed from storage and burned. In most
systems, storage is provided by an activated charcoal (or carbon)
canister. See Fig. 4. On a few early systems, charcoal canisters are
not used. Instead, fuel vapors are vented into the PCV system and
stored inside the crankcase.
The main components of a fuel evaporation system are a sealed
fuel tank, a liquid-vapor separator and vent lines to a vapor-storing
canister filled with activated charcoal. The filler cap is normally
not vented to the atmosphere, but is fitted with a valve to allow both
pressure and vacuum relief.
Although a few variations do exist between manufacturers,
basic operation is the same for all systems. Check for presence of
vapor storage canister or crankcase storage connections when required.
Ensure required hoses, solenoids, etc., are present and connected
properly. Check for proper type fuel tank cap. Check for any non-OEM
or auxiliary fuel tanks for compliance and the required number of
evaporation canisters.

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
Oxidation Catalyst (OC)
This type of converter is the most common. It may use pellets
or monolith medium, depending upon application. See Fig. 5. Platinum
and palladium (or platinum alone) are used as catalyst in this type of\
converter.
Visually check for presence of catalytic converter(s). Check
for external damage such as severe dents, removed or damaged heat
shields, etc. Also check for pellets or pieces of converter in the
tailpipe.
Fig. 5: Typical Oxidation Catalytic Converter (Pellet Type) Shown;
Typical Three-Way Catalytic Converter Is Similar

Three-Way Catalyst (TWC)
This type of converter is nearly identical to a conventional
Page 606 of 1691
converter with the exception of the catalyst. See Fig. 5. The TWC
converter uses rhodium, with or without platinum, as its catalyst.
Rhodium helps reduce NOx emissions, as well as HC and CO.
Visually check for presence of catalytic converter(s). Also
check for presence of any required air supply system for the oxidizing
section of the converter. Check for external damage such as severe
dents, removed or damaged heat shields, etc. Check for pellets or
pieces of converter in the tailpipe.
Three-Way Catalyst + Oxidation Catalyst (TWC + OC)
This system contains a TWC converter and an OC converter in a
common housing, separated by a small air space. See Fig. 6. The 2
catalysts are referred to as catalyst beds. Exhaust gases pass through
the TWC first. The TWC bed performs the same function as it would as a
separate device, reducing all 3 emissions. As exhaust gases leave the
bed, they pass through the air space and into the second (OC)
converter catalyst bed.
Visually check for presence of catalytic converter(s). Check
for external damage such as severe dents, removed or damaged heat
shields, etc. Check for pellets or pieces of converter in the
tailpipe.

FILL PIPE RESTRICTOR (FR)
A fuel tank fill pipe restrictor is used to prohibit the
introduction of leaded fuel into the fuel tank. Unleaded gasoline pump
dispensers have a smaller diameter nozzle to fit fuel tank of vehicle
requiring the use of unleaded fuel (vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter).
Visually inspect fill pipe restrictor(s) for tampering, i.e.,\
restrictor is oversize or the flapper is non-functional. If vehicle is
equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, ensure auxiliary fuel tank is
also equipped with a fill pipe restrictor.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
Page 613 of 1691
Spark control systems are designed to ensure the air/fuel
mixture is ignited at the best possible moment to provide optimum
efficiency and power and cleaner emissions.
Ensure vacuum hoses to the distributor, carburetor, spark
delay valves, thermal vacuum switches, etc., are in place and routed
properly. On Computerized Engine Controls (CEC), check for presence of\
required sensors (O2, MAP, CTS, TPS, etc.). Ensure they have not been
tampered with or modified.
Check for visible modification or replacement of the feedback
carburetor, fuel injection unit or injector(s) with a non-feedback
carburetor or fuel injection system. Check for modified emission-
related components unacceptable for use on pollution-controlled
vehicles.
AIR INJECTION SYSTEM (AIS)
Air Pump Injection System (AP)
The air pump is a belt-driven vane type pump, mounted to
engine in combination with other accessories. The air pump itself
consists of the pump housing, an inner air cavity, a rotor and a vane
assembly. As the vanes turn in the housing, filtered air is drawn in
through the intake port and pushed out through the exhaust port. See
Fig. 13 .
Check for missing or disconnected belt, check valve(s),
diverter valve(s), air distribution manifolds, etc. Check air
injection system for proper hose routing.
Fig. 13: Typical Air Pump Injection System

Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) System
PAIR eliminates the need for an air pump and most of the
associated hardware. Most systems consists of air delivery pipe(s),
pulse valve(s) and check valve(s). The check valve prevents exhaust
gases from entering the air injection system. See Fig. 14.
Ensure required check valve(s), diverter valve(s), air
distribution manifolds, etc., are present. Check air injection system
for proper hose routing.

OXYGEN SENSOR (O2)
The O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust system where it
monitors oxygen content of exhaust gases. Some vehicles may use 2 O2
sensors. The O2 sensor produces a voltage signal which is proportional
to exhaust gas oxygen concentration (0-3%) compared to outside oxygen
(20-21%). This voltage signal is low (about .1 volt) when a lean
mixture is present and high (1.0 volt) when a rich mixture is present.\
As ECM compensates for a lean or rich condition, this voltage
signal constantly fluctuates between high and low, crossing a
reference voltage supplied by the ECM on the O2 signal line. This is
referred to as cross counts. A problem in the O2 sensor circuit should
set a related trouble code.
COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS (CEC)
The CEC system monitors and controls a variety of
engine/vehicle functions. The CEC system is primarily an emission
control system designed to maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio under most
operating conditions. When the ideal air/fuel ratio is maintained, the
catalytic converter can control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbon
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
The CEC system consists of the following sub-systems:
Electronic Control Module (ECM), input devices (sensors and switches)\
and output signals.
Page 615 of 1691
EARLY FUEL EVAPORATION (EFE)
The EFE valve is actuated by either a vacuum actuator or a
bimetal spring (heat-riser type). The EFE valve is closed when engine
is cold. The closed valve restricts exhaust gas flow from the exhaust
manifold. This forces part of the exhaust gas to flow up through a
passage below the carburetor. As the exhaust gas quickly warms the
intake mixture, distribution is improved. This results in better cold
engine driveability, shorter choke periods and lower emissions.
Ensure EFE valve in exhaust manifold is not frozen or rusted
in a fixed position. On vacuum-actuated EFE system, check EFE thermal
vacuum valve and check valve(s). Also check for proper vacuum hose
routing. See Fig. 15.
