USING R-12 & R-134a REFRIGERANT
HANDLING/SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Always work in a well-ventilated, clean area. Avoid
breathing refrigerant vapors. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Refrigerant is colorless and is invisible as a gas.
Refrigerant is heavier than oxygen and will displace oxygen in a
confined area.
2) A/C system high pressure can cause severe injury to eyes
and skin if a hose were to burst. Always wear eye protection, gloves
and other protective clothing when working around A/C system and
refrigerant.
3) Refrigerant evaporates quickly when exposed to atmosphere,
freezing anything it contacts. If liquid refrigerant contacts eyes or
skin (frostbite), DO NOT rub eyes or skin. Immediately flush affected
area with cool water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor or hospital.
4) Never use R-134a in combination with compressed air for
leak testing. Pressurized R-134a in the presence of oxygen (air
concentrations greater than 60 percent by volume) may form a
combustible mixture. DO NOT introduce compressed air into R-134a
containers (full or empty), A/C system components or service
equipment.
5) DO NOT expose A/C system components to high temperatures,
steam cleaning for example, as excessive heat will cause
refrigerant/system pressure to increase. Never expose refrigerant
directly to open flame. If refrigerant needs to be warmed, place
bottom of refrigerant tank in warm water. Water temperature MUST NOT
exceed 125
F (52C).
CAUTION: When R-134a is exposed to an open flame, drawn into engine,
or detected with a Halide (propane) leak tester, a poisonous
gas is formed. Keep work areas well ventilated.
6) Use care when handling refrigerant containers. DO NOT
drop, strike, puncture or incinerate containers. Use Department Of

Schrader valve is similar in construction and operation to a
tire valve. When a test gauge hose with built-in valve core depressor
is attached, Schrader stem is pushed inward to the open position and
allows system pressure to reach gauge.
If test hose does not have a built-in core depressor, an
adapter must be used. Never attach hose or adapter to Schrader valve
unless it is first connected to manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant R-12 Schrader-type valve cores have TV5 thread
size. Refrigerant R-134a Schrader-type valve cores use M6 (Metric)
threads. See Fig. 1.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY/RECYCLING
Refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment is used to remove
refrigerant from vehicle's A/C system without polluting atmosphere. To
remove and recycle refrigerant, connect the recovery/recycling
equipment and following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Removed refrigerant is filtered, dried and stored in a tank
within the recovery/recycling equipment until it is ready to be pumped
back into vehicle A/C system. With refrigerant stored in the
recovery/recycling equipment, A/C system can be opened without
polluting atmosphere.
NOTE: Separate sets of hoses, gauges and refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment MUST be used for R-12 and
R-134a based systems. DO NOT mix R-12 and R-134a
refrigerants, as their refrigerant oils and desiccants are
not compatible. It is NOT possible to clean equipment
thoroughly enough to prevent cross-contamination of A/C
systems. On systems with R-134a refrigerant, use
Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) wax-free refrigerant oil.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL DELIVERY
Electric fuel pump, located in gas tank, feeds fuel through
in-tank fuel filter, external fuel filter (located in engine
compartment) and fuel injector rail.
Fuel Pump
Fuel pump consists of a motor-driven impeller. Pump has an
internal check valve to maintain system pressure, and a relief valve
to protect fuel pressure circuit. Pump receives voltage supply from
MFI control relay.
Fuel Pressure Control Solenoid Valve (Turbo)
Valve prevents rough idle due to fuel percolation. On engine
restart, if engine coolant or intake air temperature reaches a preset
value, PCM applies voltage to fuel pressure control solenoid valve for
2 minutes after enginerestart. Valve will open, allowing atmospheric
pressure to be applied to fuel pressure regulator diaphragm. This
allows maximum available fuel pressure at injectors, enriching fuel
mixture and maintaining stable idle at high engine temperatures.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Located on fuel injector rail, this diaphragm-operated relief
valve adjusts fuel pressure according to engine manifold vacuum.
As engine manifold vacuum increases (closed throttle), fuel
