PISTONS
The pistons are made of a special aluminum alloy.
Their weight has been reduced by lowering their
overall height and increasing the depression at each
end of the piston pin.
The piston pin hole center is offset 0.8 mm (0.031 in)
towards the thrust side of the piston center.
The skirt portion along the perimeter of the piston is
finished with streaks that excel in oil retention and
seizure resistance.
PISTON PINS
The piston pins are the semi-floating type. Each pin
is press-fit and secured in the small end of the con
-
necting rod, while it floats in the piston.

ENGINE OIL CONTROL VALVE
The engine oil control valve consists of a solenoid
valve, which switches the hydraulic pressure that
acts on the vane rotor in the V.V.T. sprocket assem
-
bly. This valve is actuated by a signal from the
engine ECU.

INJECTOR
An injector is an injection nozzle with the electromagnetic valve
that injects fuel based on the injection signal sent by ECM. 1
injector is installed in the intake manifold of each cylinder and
fixed to the fuel rail. When electricity flows through the solenoid
coil, the plunger gets sucked in. The ball valve is integrated
with the plunger, and gets pulled together with the plunger till
the fully open position so that the injection hole is fully open
and the fuel gets injected.
Voltage from the battery gets applied from the injector relay to
the injector and up to the ECM. ECM turns ON its power tran
-
sistor and prepares the injector's ground circuit. Thus, current
flows through the injector while power transistor is ON and the
injector injects fuel.

MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-45
MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) RELAY CONTROLM2132006000173
When the ignition switch-IG "ON" signal is input,
ECM turns ON the power transistor for control of the
MFI relay. As a result, current flows through the MFI
relay's coil, the relay switch turns ON and power is
supplied to each sensor and actuator. Also, when
ignition switch-IG "OFF" signal is input, ECM per
-
forms the following controls and then turns OFF the
power transistor for control of MFI relay.

FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-46
FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROLM2132006500208
When current flows through the fuel pump relay, the
relay turns ON and the fuel pump is driven. The fuel
pump relay is built into the ETACS-ECU. When the
ignition switch-ST signal is input, ECM turns ON the
power transistor for control of the fuel pump relay. As a result, power is supplied to the fuel pump. Also, if
engine speed falls below a set value, the fuel pump
relay is turned OFF. Thus, it deals with sudden stop
-
pages such as engine stalling etc. by stopping the
pump.

A/C COMPRESSOR RELAY CONTROLM2132034500120
The ECM turns on the power transistor when the A/C
switch ON signal is input by the A/C-ECU through
the CAN. This allows the A/C compressor relay to be
ON and to be operated. During the high load opera
-
tion, such as the acceleration with the fully opened
accelerator, the ECM secures the acceleration capa
-
bility by turning off the A/C compressor relay for the
specified period to produce no load on the A/C com
-
pressor.
