After performing eachTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
"OVERALL FUNCTIONCHECK"or"DTC (Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".
The DTC should notbedisplayed inthe "DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDURE" ifthe repair iscompleted. The"OVER-
ALL FUNCTION CHECK"shouldbeagood result ifthe
repair iscompleted.
• When measuring ECMsignals withacircuit tester, never
allow thetwo tester probes tocontact.
Accidental contactofprobes willcause ashort circuit and
damage theECM power transistor.

Q :
Fuel vapor

Theevaporative emissionsystemisused toreduce hydrocar-
bons emitted intotheatmosphere fromthefuel system. This
reduction ofhydrocarbons isaccomplished byactivated char-
coals inthe EVAP canister.
The fuelvapor fromsealed fueltank isled into theEVAP can-
ister when theengine isoff. The fuelvapor isthen stored inthe
EVAP canister. TheEVAP canister retainsthefuel vapor until
the EVAP canister ispurged byair.
When theengine isrunning, theairisdrawn through thebot-
tom ofthe EVAP canister. Thefuel vapor willthen beled tothe
intake manifold.
When theengine runsatidle, theEVAP canister purgecontrol
valve isclosed. Onlyasmall amount ofvapor flowsintothe
intake manifold throughtheconstant purgeorifice.
As the engine speedincreases andthethrottle vacuum rises,
the purge control valveopens. Thevapor issucked through
both main purge andconstant purgeorifices.

Pressure Check

• When reconnecting fuelline, always usenew clamps.
• Make surethatclamp screwdoesnotcontact adjacent
parts.
• Use atorque drivertotighten clamps.
• Use Pressure Gaugetocheck fuelpressure.
• Donot perform fuelpressure checkwithsystem operating.
Fuel pressure gaugemayindicate falsereadings.

1. Release fuelpressure tozero.
2. Disconnect fuelhose between fuelfilter andfuel tube
(engine side).
3. Install pressure gaugebetween fuelfilter andfuel tube.
4. Start engine andcheck forfuel leakage.
5. Read theindication offuel pressure gauge.

At idling:
With vacuum hoseconnected
Approximately 245kPa (2.45 bar,2.5kg/cm

36psi)
With vacuum hosedisconnected
Approximately 294kPa (2.94 bar,3.0kg/cm

43psi)

If results areunsatisfactory, performFuelPressure Regula-
tor Check.

Fuel Pressure Regulator Check

1. Stop engine anddisconnect fuelpressure regulator vacuum
hose fromintake manifold.
2. Plug intake manifold witharubber cap.
3. Connect variablevacuumsourcetofuel pressure regulator.
4. Start engine andread indication offuel pressure gaugeas
vacuum ischanged.

Fuel pressure shoulddecrease asvacuum increases. Ifresults
are unsatisfactory, replacefuelpressure regulator.
