various electrical loads.

The average outpu t volt a ge flu c tua t es slightly with
the alternato

When the ign i tion switch is t u rned on, current flows in
the field coil and initial e
x cit a tion of the field coil
occurs.
When the st ator coil beg ins to gen erate p o wer af ter
the eng
ine is st a r ted, th e fie l d coil is excited by th e
output
curren t of th e st ator coil.
The alternator outpu t volt a ge rises as th e fie l d cur-
rent increa ses and it falls a s the field cu rrent
decre
ases. Whe n the b a ttery volt a ge (alternato r "S"
terminal volt

approximately 14.4
V , the field current is cut o f f.
When th

IGNITION SYSTEM
ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-30
IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1163000100294
This system is equipped with two ignition coils (A and
B) with built-in power transistors for the No. 1 and
No. 4 cylinders and the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders
respectively.
Interruption of the primary current flowing in the pri-
mary side of ignition coil A generates a high voltage
in the secondary side of ignition coil A. The high volt
-
age thus generated is applied to the spark plugs of
No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders to generate sparks. At the
time that the sparks are generated at both spark
plugs, if one cylinder is at the compression stroke,
the other cylinder is at the exhaust stroke, so that
ignition of the compressed air/fuel mixture occurs
only for the cylinder which is at the compression
stroke.
In the same way, when the primary current flowing in
ignition coil B is interrupted, the high voltage thus
generated is applied to the spark plugs of No. 2 and
No. 3 cylinders.
The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
turns the two power transistors inside the ignition
coils alternately on and off. This causes the primary
currents in the ignition coils to be alternately inter
-
rupted and allowed to flow to fire the cylinders in the
order 1-3-4-2.
The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
determines which ignition coil should be controlled
by means of the signals from the camshaft position
sensor which is incorporated in the camshaft and
from the crank angle sensor which is incorporated in
the crankshaft. It also detects the crankshaft position
in order to provide ignition at the most appropriate
timing in response to the engine operation condi
-
tions. It also detects the crankshaft position in order
to provide ignition at the most appropriate timing in
response to the engine operation conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high alti-
tudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to pro-
vide optimum performance.
When the automatic transmission shifts gears, the
ignition timing is also retarded in order to reduce out
-
put torque, thereby alleviating shifting shocks.

VACUUM HOSE INSTALLATION

1. When connecting the vacuum hoses, they should
be securely inserted onto the nipples.
2. Connect the hoses correctly, using the vacuum hose piping diagram as a guide.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORM ATION (CRANKCASE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005000237
The crankcase emission control system prevents
blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase
into the atmosphere.
Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the crank-
case through the breather hose.
The air becomes mixed wi th the blow-by gases
inside the crankcase.
The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is drawn into
the intake manifold through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve.
The PCV valve lifts the plunger according to the
intake manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of
blow-by gas properly.
In other words, the blow-by gas flow is regulated dur-
ing low load engine operation to maintain engine sta-
bility, while the flow is increased during high load
operation to improve the ventilation performance.
