Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame away from your work area.
1. 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.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe 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 are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.

INPUT SHAFT
High assist at lower speedsl
When steering resistance is high, such as when driving at low speed, or when turning the wheel with the car stopped, the
diiference in angle created between the input shaft and the valve opens the tluid passage on one side, and closes the fluidpassage on the other side, at each pair of orifices. The fluid pressure lncreases in the side of the power cylinder fed by thelarger fluid passage. This increased pressure pushes on the rack piston, allowing the steering wheel to be turned with light
effon. On the other side of the power cylinder, the return passage opens allowing the steering fluid to return through theinput shaft to the reservoir. The fluid passages to the power cylinder automatically change in size, increasing as the steer-ing resistance increases. In other words, the passages become larger and power assist increases when the steering effort
would normally be high, (for example, when parking or making low speed turns), and the passages become smaller andpower assist decreases when the steering effort would normally be low, (for example, when driving at high speeds or
straight ahead).

Pressure Control
Low assist at higher speedsl
When steering resistance is low, such as when driving at high speeds, or when driving straight ahead. the lnput shaft is
near or in the neutral position, so there is liftle or no flow to any of the power cylinder orifices. Most of the feed pressure
from the pump is bypassed to the reservoir. Because of this, the pressure stays the same in both sides of the power cvlin-
der, resulting in low or no assist.

measure the distance the steering wheel can be turned
without moving the front wheels.

lf the play exceeds the service limit. perform rack guide
adiustment (see page 17-211.
lf the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment.

on the neld page.
Power Assist Check with
Vehicle Parked
Check the power steering fluid level (see page 17-
21) and pump belt tension (see page 17-201.
Start the engine, allow it to idle. and turn the steer
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm
up the fluid.
Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the
engine idling and the car on a clean. dry floor. pull
the scale as shown and read it as soon as the tires
begin to turn,
4. The scale should read no more than 34 N (3.5 kgf,
7.7 lbf). lf it reads more, check the gearbox and
pump.

not pinched or intorfering with other car parts.
. Do not replace the original st€ering wheel with rny

clockwise until it stoos. Then rotate it counterclock-
wise (approximately two turns) until. The arrow
