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
Page 460 of 1501
cylinder is on its exhaust stroke when plug fires.
HALL EFFECT IGNITION SYSTEM
This system is equipped with a Hall Effect distributor.
Shutter(s) attached to distributor shaft rotate through distributor
Hall Effect switch, also referred to as a Camshaft Position (CMP)
sensor, which contains a distributor pick-up (a Hall Effect device and
magnet). As shutter blade(s) pass through pick-up, magnetic field is
interrupted and voltage is toggled between high and low. PCM uses this
data along with Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor data to control
ignition timing and injector pulse width to maintain optimum
driveability.
Power Transistor & Ignition Coil
Power transistor is mounted inside distributor with disc and
optical sensing unit. When ignition is on, ignition coil primary
circuit is energized. As distributor shaft rotates, disc rotates,
triggering optical sensing unit. PCM receives signals from optical
sensing unit. Signals are converted and sent to power transistor,
interrupting primary current flow and inducing secondary voltage.
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL SYSTEM
Ignition timing is controlled by PCM. PCM adjusts timing
based on various conditions such as engine temperature, altitude and
detonation.
EMISSION SYSTEMS
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CONTROL
Federal Emissions (Non-Turbo)
To lower oxides of nitrogen (NOx) exhaust emissions, a non-
computer controlled exhaust gas recirculation system is used. EGR
operation is controlled by throttle body ported vacuum. Vacuum is
routed through vacuum control valve to prevent EGR operation at low
engine temperatures.
Spring pressure holds EGR valve closed during low vacuum
conditions (engine idling or wide open throttle). When vacuum pressure\
increases and overcomes EGR spring pressure, EGR valve is lifted to
allow exhaust gases to flow into intake manifold for combustion.
California Emissions & Turbo
PCM controls EGR operation by activating EGR control solenoid
valve according to engine load. When engine is cold, PCM signals EGR
control solenoid valve to deactivate EGR.
EGR Control Solenoid Valve
Valve denies or allows vacuum supply to EGR valve based on
PCM commands.
EVAPORATIVE CONTROL
Fuel evaporation system prevents fuel vapor from entering
atmosphere. System consists of special fuel tank with vapor separator
tanks (if equipped), vacuum relief filler cap, overfill limiter (2-wa\
y
valve), fuel check valve, thermovalve (if equipped), charcoal
canister, purge control valve, purge control solenoid valve, and
connecting lines and hoses.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
Page 461 of 1501
When engine is off, fuel vapors are vented into charcoal
canister. When engine is warmed to normal operating temperature and
running at speeds greater than idle, PCM energizes purge control
solenoid valve, allowing vacuum to purge valve.
Canister vapors are then drawn through solenoid valve into
intake manifold for burning. Purge control solenoid valve remains
closed during idle and engine warm-up to reduce HC (hydrocarbons) and
CO (carbon monoxide) emissions.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE
PCV valve operates in closed crankcase ventilation system.
Closed crankcase ventilation system consists of PCV valve, oil
separator, breather and ventilation hoses.
PCV valve is a one-way check valve located in valve cover.
When engine is running, manifold vacuum pulls PCV valve open, allowing
crankcase fumes to enter intake manifold. If engine backfires through
intake manifold, PCV valve closes to prevent crankcase combustion.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
NOTE: PCM diagnostic memory is retained by direct power supply
from battery. Memory is not erased by turning off ignition,
but it will be erased if battery or PCM is disconnected.
Self-diagnostic system monitors input and output signals
through the Data Link Connector (DLC). Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs\
)
can only be read using a scan tester. For additional information, see
G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
MIL (CHECK ENGINE light) comes on when ignition is turned on.\
MIL remains on for several seconds after engine has started. If an
abnormal input signal occurs, MIL comes on and code is stored in
memory. If an abnormal input signal returns to normal, PCM turns MIL
off, but code remains stored in memory until it is cleared. If
ignition is turned on again, MIL will not come on until PCM detects
malfunction during system operation.

Page 550 of 1501
rust may be removed using bead blasting method. Components must be
free of oil and grease prior to bead blasting. Beads will stick to
grease or oil soaked areas causing area not to be cleaned.
Use air pressure to remove all trapped residual beads from
components after cleaning. After cleaning internal engine parts made
of aluminum, wash thoroughly with hot soapy water. Component must be
thoroughly cleaned as glass beads will enter engine oil resulting in
bearing damage.
CHEMICAL CLEANING
Solvent tank is used for cleaning oily residue from
components. Solvent blasting sprays solvent through a siphon gun using
compressed air.
The hot tank, using heated caustic solvents, is used for
cleaning ferrous materials only. DO NOT clean aluminum parts such as
cylinder heads, bearings or other soft metals using the hot tank.
After cleaning, flush parts with hot water.
A non-ferrous part will be ruined and caustic solution will
be diluted if placed in the hot tank. Always use eye protection and
gloves when using the hot tank.
Use of a cold tank is for cleaning of aluminum cylinder
heads, carburetors and other soft metals. A less caustic and unheated
solution is used. Parts may be lift in the tank for several hours
without damage. After cleaning, flush parts with hot water.
Steam cleaning, with boiling hot water sprayed at high
pressure, is recommended as the final cleaning process when using
either hot or cold tank cleaning.
COMPONENT CLEANING
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
SHEET METAL PARTS
Examples of sheet metal parts are the rocker covers, front
and side covers, oil pan and bellhousing dust cover. Glass bead
blasting or hot tank may be used for cleaning.
Ensure all mating surfaces are flat. Deformed surfaces should
be straightened. Check all sheet metal parts for cracks and dents.
INTAKE & EXHAUST MANIFOLDS
Using solvent cleaning or bead blasting, clean manifolds for
inspection. If the intake manifold has an exhaust crossover, all
carbon deposits must be removed. Inspect manifolds for cracks, burned
or eroded areas, corrosion and damage to fasteners.
Exhaust heat and products of combustion cause threads of
fasteners to corrode. Replace studs and bolts as necessary. On "V"
type intake manifolds, the sheet metal oil shield must be removed for
proper cleaning and inspection. Ensure that all manifold parting
surfaces are flat and free of burrs.
