System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)OUTPUTS
*1: USA*2: 818C1 engine*3: A,/T*4: 818C1, 818C5 engines
PGM-FI Sy3tem
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel lniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory. is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Ai. Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on. the transmission is in gear (Ay'T only)the brake pedal is depressed, the
P/S load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
. The ECM contains memories for basic ignition timing atvarious engine speeds and manifold pressures, lgnitiontiming
is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. AKnockControl System isadoptedwhich sets the ideal ignition timing for the octane n um ber of gasoline used*r,
Other Control Functions
L Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM provides a rich mi{ure by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel PumD Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies
current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies current to the fuel
DUmO.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on. the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which cuts
current to the fuel oumo.

After the engine stans, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount ol air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or P1508) after
IAC valve replacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf symptom goes away, replace the original ECM.

Fast ldle Thermo Valve (A/T model onlylFast ldle I nermo valve (A/ | mooel
Description
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up. it is necessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger.
When the engine is cold, the engine coolant surround-
ing the thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing addi
tional air to be bvoassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles taster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature, the valve closes. reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the manifold.

VALVE
VALVE
wAx
Inspection
NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adiusted; it
should not be disassembled.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the engine.
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body
and make sure that there is air flow with the engine
cold {engine coolant temperature below 86'F, 30"c).
LOWERPORT
lf there is no air flow, replace the last idle thermo
valve and retest.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
Check that valve is completely closed. lf not, air suc-
tion can be felt at the lower port in the throttle body.
l{ any suction is felt, the valve is leaking. Check
engine coolant level and for air in the engine
coolant system (see section 10). It OK, replace the
fast idle thermo valve and recheck.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan

2. Stop the engine, and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
. lf the throttle body pon is clogged, clean it with
carburetor cleaner.
. lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
Excessive wear or play in the throttle valve shaft.- Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close posi-
tion.- Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at fullclose position.
