PGM-FlMain Relay
Description
The PGM-Fl main relav actuallv contains two individual
relays. This relay is located at the right side of the cowl.
One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which
supplies the battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power to
the luel iniectors, and power for the second relay. The
second relay is energized lor two seconds when the igni-
tion is switched ON (lll, and when the engine is running,
to supply power to the luel pump.

NOTE:
. It the engine starts and continues lo run. the PGM Fl
main relay is OK.
. Use the terminal numbers below;
ignore the terminal numbers molded into the relay,
1. Remove the PGM Fl main relay.
2. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 2 ter-
minal and the battery negative terminal to the No 1
terminal of the PGM-Fl main relay. Then check for
continuity between the No.5 terminal and No 4ter-
minal of the PGM Fl main relay.

Intake Air System
\JSystem DescriPtion
The system supp|ies air for a|| engine needs' |t consists of the intake air pipe' Air C|eaner (ACL}, intake air duct, Thrott|e
Body (TB), ldle Air control (lAc) valve and intake manifold. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing
as air is drawn into the system.

Description
The throttle bodY is either a single-barrel side-draft type
(D16Y5, D16Y8, 816A2 engine) or a down-draft type
(D16Y/ engine). The lower portion ot the throttle valve is
heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head' The
idle adjusting screw which regulates the bypass air is
located on the top of the throttle body

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
The emission control system includes a Three Way Cata-lytic Convener (TWC), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
system,. Positive Crankcase Ventilation (pCV) system andEvaporative Emission (EVAP) Control system. The emis-sion control system is designed to meet federal and stateemission standards.*: D16Y5 engine
Tailpipe Emission
Inspestion
@@ Do not smoke during ihis procedure. Keepany open flame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fancomes on. then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed (see
page 11-220 - 223).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to themeter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower,rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-er off.
NOTE: (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.Start the engine, then check that the headlights areoff.
CO mete. should indicate 0.1% maximum.
NOTE: '98 Dl6Y5 engine - lf the idle speed incress-es to 8101 50 rpm, this means the EVAp system ispurging the canister. To stop the purging temporari-ly. raise the engine speed above 1,000 rpm with theaccelerator pedal, then slowly release the pedal.

Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Controls
Description
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the foliowing components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canisto]
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the fuel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the engine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge Control System
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a port
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.

Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVRI System {'99 - 00 models}
During refueling. the oRVR {onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) vent shut valve opens with the pressure in the fuel
tank. and feeds the fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
