AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air filtered through the air cleaner passes through the air flow meter a\
nd the amount flowing to the air intake
chamber is determined by the throttle valve opening in the throttle body and th\
e engine rpm.
Air flow meter measures the air intake flow to the engine by the swirl f\
requency.
Located in the throttle body is the throttle valve, which regulates the \
volume of air intake to the engine. Air
intake controlled by the throttle valve opening is distributed from the \
intake chamber to the manifold of each
cylinder and is drain into the combustion chamber.
At low air temperature the ISC valve opens and the air flows through the I\
SC valve, as well as the throttle body,
into the air intake chamber. During engine warm up, the fast idle is accomplished by air flowing into the intake
chamber via ISC valve, even when the throttle valve is completely closed.
The air intake chamber prevents pulsation of the intake air, reduces the influence on the air flow meter and
increases the air intake volume. It also prevents intake air interferenc\
e in each cylinder.
There is also the Int ake Air Control Valve (IACV) attached to the air intake chamber. Part of the Acoustic Control
Induction System (ACIS), the ECU provides signals to the Vacuum Switch Valve (VSV) to open or close. This
valve opens or closes, the vacuum source to the actuator, which in turn opens or closes the IACV. The IACV
is designed to modify the effective manifold length in two stages for increased power in all driving\
ranges.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The control system consists of sensors which detect various engine conditio\
ns, and a ECU which determines
the injection volume (timing) based on the signals from the sensors.
The various sensors detect the air intake volume, engine rpm, oxygen densit\
y in the exhaust gas, coolant tem-
perature, air intake temperature and atmospheric pressure etc. and convert the inf\
ormation into an electrical
signal which is sent to the ECU. Based on these signals, the ECU calculates th\
e optimum ignition timing for the
current conditions and operates the injectors.
The ECU not only controls the fuel injection timing, but also the self diag\
nostic function which records the oc-
currence of a malfunction, ignition timing control, idle rpm control, EGR contro\
l, EVAP control, ACIS and fuel
pump control, which switches between the high and low fuel pump speeds accor\
ding to varied load conditions. FI±8

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is pumped up by the fuel pump, which flows through the fuel filter under pr\
essure through the fuel pipe
to the delivery pipe where it is distributed to each injector and the cold\
start injector.
The fuel pressure regulator adjusts the pressure of the fuel from the fuel \
line (high pressure side) to a pres-
sure 284 kPa (2.9 kgf/cm
2, 41 psi) higher than the pressure inside the intake manifold, and exce\
ss fuel is re-
turned to the fuel tank through the return pipe.
When the engine is hot, the fuel pressure is increased to control percolatio\
n in the fuel system and improve
restartability and idling stability.
The pulsation damper absorbs the slight fluctuations in fuel pressure ca\
used by the injector.
The injectors operate on input of injection signals from the ECU and inj\
ect fuel into the intake manifold.
The cold start injector operates when starting with low coolant temperature or at normal temperature
ranges, injecting fuel into the air intake chamber to improve startability. FI±7

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air filtered through the air cleaner passes through the air flow meter and \
the amount flowing to the air intake
chamber is determined according to the throttle valve opening in the throttle b\
ody and the engine rpm. Air flow meter measures the air intake flow to the engine by the swirl f\
requency.
Located in the throttle body is the throttle valve, which regulates the volume \
of air intake to the engine. Air
intake controlled by the throttle valve opening is distributed from the intake\
chamber to the manifold of each
cylinder and is drain into the combustion chamber. At air low temperature the ISC valve opens and the air flows through the I\
SC valve, as well as the throttle
body, into the air intake chamber. During engine warming up, even if the throttle valve is completely clo\
sed, air
flows to the air intake chamber, thereby increasing the idle speed (first idle operation). The air intake chamber prevents pulsation of the intake air, reduces the influence on the air flow meter and
increases the air intake volume. It also prevents intake air interference in each\
cylinder. FI±8
