DESCRIPTION
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of HC, CO, \
and NOx emitted from the en-
gine, and to also prevent the release of evaporated fuel from the gasoline ta\
nk and prevent atmospheric release
of blow±by gas. The system consists of the PCV, EVAP, EGR and TWC.
The function of each system is shown in the following table.

INSPECTION OF PCV VALVE
1. REMOVE PCV VALVE
2. ATTACH CLEAN HOSE TO PCV VALVE
3. BLOW AIR FROM CYLINDER HEAD SIDECheck that air passes through easily.
NOTICE: Do not suck air through the valve.
Petroleum substances inside the valve are harmful.
4. BLOW AIR FROM INTAKE MANIFOLD SIDE Check that air passes through with difficulty.
If the PCV valve fails either check, replace it.
5. REINSTALL PCV VALVE
