effectively suppressing engine vibrations. Note that
there are the following features at the various

CavityPRINCIPAL AXIS INERTIA SUPPORT SYSTEM
The vibrations generated from the engine and drive train
consist of such eiements as vertical vibrations caused by the
engine’s combustion processes, as well as
rollings caused by
the torque reaction force of the tyres and the crankshaft
rotation etc.
In order to effectively suppress these vibrations, the principal
axis of inertia support system, by which the components that
contact the principal axis of inertia are mounted, is employed.
INSULATORS
Absorption of Minute Vibrations
The minute vibrations that are generated during idling and
during driving are absorbed because the spring constant is low
as a result of the fact that insulator A only causes vibration of
the space within the cavity.
Absorption of Larger Vibrations
The larger vibrations that are generated during starting from a
_stop and during acceleration are absorbed because insulator A

03AOOlOThe fuel supply system comprises electromagnetic
type injectors, a delivery pipe, a fuel pressure
regulator, a motor-driven fuel pump, and the engine
control unit, which activates and controls the injec-
tors and fuel pump based on data supplied by the
various sensors.
After being filtered by an in-tank filter, the fuel is
pumped from the tank and is filtered again by an
external filter before it is distributed to the injectors
through the delivery pipe. The pressure of fuel
delivered to the injectors is regulated by the fuel
pressure
reoulator; excess fuel after pressure reg-ulation has been performed is returned to the fuel
tankThe injectors are activated on command from the
engine control unit and inject the fuel to each intake
port of cylinder head sequentially according to the
predetermined ignition order.
In addition, a fuel-pressure control valve has been
equipped in order to maintain idling stability of turbo
models immediately after restarting under high- -
temperature conditions.
The fuel tank is located under the floor of the rear
seat, thus giving it protection in the event of a
rear-end collision. A fuel pump drive terminal is
provided in the engine compartment for greater
serviceability.

FUEL PUMP
This fuel pump is known as the in-tank type becauseit is located within the fuel tank itself, surrounded by
the fuel. For this reason, the pump operation noise
is well insulated, and it has excellent resistance to
vapor-locks.This type of pump is also called the “wet type”
because even its internal parts are in contact with
the fuel. With a construction that is the unification of
a ferrite-type DC motor and an impeller-type pump,
the pump itself is composed of the impeller, which
is driven by the motor, as well as the casing and the
cover. There are, in addition, a relief valve (a safety
valve for protection of the fuel-pressure circuit) and
a check valve (to maintain residual pressure).
The electric fuel pump has the following features:
l It has greater discharge pressure
mechanical-type fuel pump, as wellthan a
as lessdischarge pulsation.
lIt has a lower level of operation sound that the
electromagnetic type (Bendix type) of fuelpump.
PRESSURE-SUPPLY OF FUEL
When the impeller is caused to rotate by the motor,
a pressure differential develops at the upper. and
lower parts of the impeller, caused by the grooves in
the circumference of the impeller.
When this happens, a whirlpool effect is generated
within the fuel pump, causing the fuel pressure to
become higher, thereby causing the fuel to be
expelled from the pump chamber and to pass
through the motor, opening the check valve, and to
be discharged from the discharge port.

lntakler 03R0071REWEF VALVE
If for some reason, such as an abnormal condition at the
_discharge side, the fuel were not to be discharged, the fuel
pressure within the fuel pump would become abnormally high.
Thus, when the pressure within the fuel pump reaches
450-600 kPa (64-85 psi), the relief valve opens and the
pressure escapes, so that, the fuel line pressure does not
increase to the regulated level or above.
CHECK VALVE
When the pump stops, the check valve is closed by spring
force, so that there is high pressure remaining within the fuel
line.By in this way maintaining a high pressure within the fuel line,
the restarting of the engine becomes easier, and vapor-locks at
high temperature are prevented.

,FilterSpringAn injector is mounted on each of the four intake ports of the
cylinder head.
The injector is activated by electric current controlled by the
engine control unit.Wh-en current flows through the solenoid coil, the plunger and
needle valve, which form a single unit are magnetically
attracted, causing the injector nozzle to open and fuel to be
injected.When the current is interrupted, the plunger and needle valve
are pushed back by the spring, closing the injector nozzle.
