Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Precautions
!@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
system, Keep open flames away from your work a.ea'
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connects
the in tank fuel pump with the fuel feed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is neces-
sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to lollowing:
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during
welding or other heat-generating procedures
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fitlings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/
quick connect liltings assembly, be careful not to
bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnecled,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused
once it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the
retatner wnen
. Replacing the fuel pump.
. Replacing the fuel leed pipe.
. lt has been removed lrom the PiPe.. lt is damaged.

Disconnestion
!@ Do not smoke while working on the luel
system. Keep open llames away lrom youl work area.
1. Relieve fuel pressure (see pages 11'230,2311.
2. Check the tuel quick-connect tittings for dirt, and
clean if necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
o Be carelul not to damage the pipe or other pans
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
. Do not remove the retainer from the pape; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

3. Align the quick-connect fiftings with the pipe, and
align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick-connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-
ing sound.
NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount
of new engine oil on the pipe end.
Connection with new retainer:
4. Make sure the connection is secure and the pawls
are firmly locked into place; check visually and by
pulling the connector.
RCTAINER
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will run for
about two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise.
Repeat two or three times, and check that there is
no leakage in the fuel supplv system

Testing
!@ Do not smoke during the test, Keep open
flame away from your work atea,
lf you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the
fuel pump actually runs; when it is ON (ll), you will hear
some noise if you hold your ear to the fuel fill port with the
fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for two
seconds when ignition switch is first turned ON (ll). lf the
fuel pump does not make noise, check it as follows:
L Remove the seat cushion {see section 20).
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the Iueltank 2P connector.
4. Connect the PGM-FI main relay 7P connector termi-
nal No. 4 and No. 5 with a jumper wire.

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.
