Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal
used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to calculate
the ignition sequence. The sensor initiates the 58X
reference pulses which the PCM uses to calculate RPM
and crankshaft position. Refer to
Electronic Ignition
System
for additional information.
Electronic Ignition
The electronic ignition system controls fuel combustion
by providing a spark to ignite the compressed air/fuel
mixture at the correct time. To provide optimum engine
performance, fuel economy, and control of exhaust
emissions, the PCM controls the spark advance of the
ignition system. Electronic ignition has the following
advantages over a mechanical distributor system:

No moving parts.

Less maintenance.

Remote mounting capability.

No mechanical load on the engine.

More coil cooldown time between firing events.

Elimination of mechanical timing adjustments.

Increased available ignition coil saturation time.
0013
Ignition Coils
A separate coil-at-plug module is located at each spark
plug. The coil-at-plug module is attached to the engine
with two screws. It is installed directly to the spark plug by
an electrical contact inside a rubber boot. A three-way
connector provides 12-volt primary supply from the
15-amp ignition fuse, a ground-switching trigger line from
the PCM, and a ground.
0001
Ignition Control
The ignition control (IC) spark timing is the PCM's method
of controlling the spark advance and the ignition dwell.
The IC spark advance and the ignition dwell are
calculated by the PCM using the following inputs:

Engine speed.

6E±350
ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
to the intake manifold through an orifice with a PCM
controlled pintle. During operation, the PCM controls
pintle position by monitoring the pintle position feedback
signal. The feedback signal can be monitored with Tech 2
as ªActual EGR Pos.º ªActual EGR Pos.º should always
be near the commanded EGR position (ºDesired EGR
Pos.º). If a problem with the EGR system will not allow the
PCM to control the pintle position properly, DTC P1406
will set. The PCM also tests for EGR flow. If incorrect flow
is detected, DTC P0401 will set. If DTCs P0401 and/or
P1406 are set, refer to the DTC charts.
The linear EGR valve is usually activated under the
following conditions:

Warm engine operation.

Above-idle speed.
Too much EGR flow at idle, cruise or cold operation may
cause any of the following conditions to occur:

Engine stalls after a cold start.

Engine stalls at idle after deceleration.

Vehicle surges during cruise.

Rough idle.
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion
temperatures to get too high. This could cause:

Spark knock (detonation).

Engine overheating.

Emission test failure.

DTC P0401 (EGR flow test).

Poor fuel economy.
0017
EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to
endure that the valve responds properly to commands
from the PCM and to detect a fault if the pintle position
sensor and control circuits are open or shorted. If the
PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the
normal range of the pintle position sensor, or a signal
voltage that is not within a tolerance considered
acceptable for proper EGR system operation, the PCM
will set DTC P1406.
General Description (Positive
Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System)
Crankcase Ventilation System Purpose
The crankcase ventilation system is use to consume
crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of
venting them to the atmosphere. Fresh air from the
throttle body is supplied to the crankcase and mixed with
blow-by gases. This mixture is then passed through the
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve into the
common chamber.
Crankcase Ventilation System Operation
The primary control is through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve. The PCV valve meters the flow at
a rate that depends on the intake vacuum. The PCV valve
restricts the flow when the inlet vacuum is highest. In
addition, the PCV valve can seal the common chamber
off in case of sudden high pressure in the crankcase.

While the engine is running, exhaust fuses and small
amounts of the fuel/air mixture escape past the piston

Fuel Filter Water Draining Procedure
The indicator light will come on when the water level in the
water separator exceeds the specified level.
Drain the water and foreign material from the water separa-
tor with the following procedure.
1. Find a safe place to park the vehicle.
2. Open the engine hood and place a container (Approxi-
mately 0.2 liter capacity) at the end of the vinyl hose
beneath the drain plug on the separator.
3. Loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise
(Approximately 5 turns) and operate the priming pump
up and down about 10 times until water is drained
approximately 0.1 liter.
4. After draining, securely tighten the drain plug by turn-
ing it clockwise and operate the priming pump manu-
ally up and down several times.
5. After starting the engine, check to see that there is no
fuel leak from the drain plug.
Also check to see that the fuel filter water indicator light
has turned off.
If water separator requires frequent draining, have the
fuel tank drained for removal of water at your Isuzu
Dealer.
Air Bleeding
1. Loosen the bleeder screw on the injection pump over-
flow valve.
2. Operate the priming pump until fuel mixed with foam
flows from the bleeder screw.
3. Tighten the bleeder screw.
4. Operate the priming pump several times and check for
fuel leakage.
COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator reserve
tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the ÒMINÓ line, carefully check
the cooling system for leakage. Then add enough coolant to
bring the level up to the ÒMAXÓ line.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the reserve tank.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
·Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except for
those tests where battery voltage is required.
·Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extin-
guisher near the work area.
·Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings
that were removed.
Clean and inspect ÒOÓ rings. Replace where
required.
·Always relieve the line pressure before servicing
any fuel system components.·Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until
you have read the instructions and checked the
pictures relating to that repair.
