EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
(EEC)
SYSTEM
Water thermo sensor
76G04C-150
Unleaded fuel:
This system stores fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank in the canister when the engine is not running.
The fuel vapor is stored in the canister until it is drawn into the dynamic chamber and burned when
the engine is started.
Leaded fuel:
Fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank flows out to the atmosphere.

SYSTEM
PCV valve
76G04C-162
The PCV valve is operated by the intake manifold vacuum.
When the engine is running at idle, the PCV valve is opened slightly and a small amount of blow-by
gas is drawn into the dynamic chamber.
At high engine speeds, the PCV valve is further opened and a larger amount of blow-by gas is drawn
into the dynamic chamber.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function Remark
PCV valve Controls blowby gas amount pulled into engine
