The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-f low
filtration type.

Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil
will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis .

potentially
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example
by using enclosed systems for handling used engine
oil and by degreasing components, where
practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:
lAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
l Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
l Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.
l Do not put oily rags in packets, the use of
overalls without pockets will avoid this.
l Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from
personal clothing.

provided.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example,
chemical goggles or face shields; in addition
an eye wash facility should be provided.
Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure
all oil is removed, especially before
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of
containing lanolin to replace the natural
oil is advised.. .
Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel,
oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from
the skin after work.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

FUEL INJECTION
ENGINE (NON-TURBO)>
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Fuel Injection System consists
of sensors which detect the engine conditions,
the POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE(PCM) which controls the system based on
signals from these sensors, and actuators
which operate under the control of the PCM.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
The injector drive times and injector timing are
controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture
is supplied to the engine to correspond to the
continually-changing engine operation condi-
tions.
A single injector is mounted at the intake port
of each cylinder. Fuel is sent under pressure
from the fuel tank by the fuel pump, with the
pressure regulated by the fuel pressureregulator. The regulated fuel is distributed
to each of the injectors. Fuel injection is normally carried out once for
each cylinder for every two rotations of the
crankshaft. The firing order is
This
IDLE AIR CONTROL The idle speed’ is kept at the optimum speed
by controlling the amount of air that bypasses
the throttle valve in accordance with changes in idling conditions and engine load during
idling.
The PCM drives the idle air control (IAC) motor
to keep the engine running at the idle
target speed in accordance with the engine
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL
The ignition power transistor is built into the
PCM. It turns the ignition primary circuit on
and off to respectively supply and cut off primary
current flow to the ignition coil. The PCM carries
activities such fuel
injection control, idle air control and ignition
timing control.
In addition, the

troubleshooting when a problem develops.

air/fuel mixture by carrying out “open-loop”
control when the engine is cold or operating
under high load conditions in to maintain
engine performance.
In addition, when the engine warm or
operating under normal
the PCM
controls the air/fuel mixture by using the heated
oxygen sensor signal to carry out “closed-loop”
control in order to obtain the theoretical air/fuel
mixture ratio that provides the maximum

from the three way
catalyst.
coolant temperature and air conditioning load.
In addition, when the air conditioning switch
is turned off and on while the engine is idling,
the
motor operates to adjust the throttle
valve bypass air amount in accordance with
the engine load conditions in order to avoid
fluctuations in the engine speed.
This controls the ignition timing in order to
provide the optimum ignition timing with respect
to the engine operating conditions. The ignition
timing is determined by the PCM from the
engine speed, intake air volume, engine coolant
temperature and atmospheric pressure.

LEAK DETECTION PUMP MONITOR

l

l
EVAP leak monitor pinched hose found
Operation
The leak detection assembly incorporates two primar y functions: it must detect a the
system and seal the evaporative system so the leak detection test can be run.. .
The’ primary components within the assembly are: A three port solenoid activates ‘both of the
functions listed above; a pump which contains a swi tch; two check valves and a spring/diaphragm, a’
canister vent valve (CVV) seal which contains a spr ing loaded vent seal valve.
Immediately after a cold start, between predetermin ed temperature thresholds limits, the three port
solenoid is briefly energized. This initializes the pump by drawing air into the pump cavity and also closes
the vent seal. During non test conditions the vent seal is held open by the pump diaphragm assembly
which pushes it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will remain closed while the pump is c ycling
due to the reed switch triggering of the three port solenoid that prevents the diaphragm assembly from
reaching full travel. After the brief initializatio n period, the solenoid is de-energized allowing atm ospheric
pressure to enter the pump cavity, thus permitting the spring to drive the diaphragm which forces air
out of the pump cavity and into the vent system. Wh en the solenoid is energized and de-energized,
the cycle is repeated creating flow in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump is controlled in 2 mod es:
Pump Mode: The pump is cycled at a fixed rate to achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten
the overall test length.
Test Mode: The solenoid is energized with a fixed d uration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur
when the diaphragm reaches the Switch closure point .
The spring in the pump is set so that the system wi ll achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5”
The cycle rate of pump strokes is quite rapid as the system begins to pump up to this pressure.
As the pressure
the cycle rate starts to drop off. If there is no leak in the system, the pump
would eventually stop pumping at the equalized pres sure. If there is a leak, it will continue to pump
at a rate representative of the flow characteristic of the size of the leak. From this information we can
determine if the leak is larger than the required d etection limit (currently set at
orifice by CARB).
If a leak is revealed during the leak test portion of the test, the test is terminated at the end of the
mode and no further system checks will be performed .
After passing the leak detection phase of the test, system pressure is maintained by turning on the
solenoid until the purge system is activated. Purg e activation in effect creates a leak. The cycle
rate is again interrogated and when it increases du e to the flow through the purge system, the leak
check portion of the diagnostic is complete.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system afte r completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel positio n.
Evaporative system functionality will be verified b y using the stricter evap purge flow monitor. At an
appropriate warm idle the LDP will be energized to seal the canister vent. The purge flow will be clocked
up from some small value in an attempt to see a shi ft in the 02 control system. If fuel vapor, indicated
by a shift in the 02 control, is present the test i s passed. If not, it is assumed that the purge syst em
is not functioning in some respect. The LDP is agai n turned off and the test is ended.
