NISSAN PICK-UP 1998 Repair Manual

Description
The evaporative emission system is used to reduce hydrocar-
bons emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system. This
reduction of hydrocarbons is accomplished by activated char-
coals in the EVAP canister.
The fuel vapor from sealed fuel tank is led into the EVAP canis-
ter when the engine is off. The fuel vapor is then stored in the
EVAP canister. The EVAP canister retains the fuel vapor until the
EVAP canister is purged by air.
When the engine is running, the air is drawn through the bottom
of the EVAP canister. The fuel vapor will then be led to the intake
manifold.
When the engine runs at idle, the EVAP canister purge control
valve is closed. Only a small amount of vapor flows into the
intake manifold through the constant purge orifice.
As the engine speed increases and the throttle vacuum rises, the
EVAP canister purge control valve opens. The vapor is sucked
through both main purge and constant purge orifices.
Inspection
EVAP CANISTER
Check EVAP canister as follows:
1. Blow air in port
VAand check that there is no leakage.
2. Apply vacuum to port
VA. [Approximately þ13.3 to þ20.0 kPa
(þ133 to þ200 mbar, þ100 to þ150 mmHg, þ3.94 to þ5.91
inHg)]
3. Cover port
VDby hand.
4. Blow air in port
VCand check that it flows freely out of port
VB.

FUEL CHECK VALVE
1. Blow air through connector on fuel tank side.
A considerable resistance should be felt and a portion of air
flow should be directed toward the EVAP canister side.
2. Blow air through connector on EVAP canister side.
Air flow should be smoothly directed toward fuel tank side.
3. If fuel check valve is suspected of not properly functioning in
steps 1 and 2 above, replace it.
Rollover valve operation (RHD models only)
Ensure that continuity of air passage does not exist when the
installed rollover valve is tilted to 90É or 180É.
FUEL TANK VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
1. Wipe clean valve housing.
2. Check valve opening pressure and vacuum.
Pressure:
15.3 - 20.0 kPa (0.1530 - 0.2001 bar, 0.156 - 0.204
kg/cm
2, 2.22 - 2.90 psi)
Vacuum:
þ6.0 to þ3.3 kPa (þ0.0598 to þ0.0333 bar, þ0.061 to
þ0.034 kg/cm
2, þ0.87 to þ0.48 psi)
3. If out of specification, replace fuel filler cap as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Use only a genuine fuel filler cap as a replacement.

Description
This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold collector.
The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to
conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intake manifold.
During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake mani-
fold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV valve.
Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any
blow-by and a small amount of ventilating air.
The ventilating air is then drawn from the air duct into the crank-
case. In this process the air passes through the hose connect-
ing air inlet tubes to the rocker cover.
Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum is insufficient
to draw the blow-by flow through the valve. The flow goes
through the hose connection in the reverse direction.
On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not
meet the requirement. This is because some of the flow will go
through the hose connection to the intake collector under all
conditions.
Inspection
PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) VALVE
With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from breather
separator. A properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air
passes through it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately
when a finger is placed over the valve inlet.
PCV HOSE
1. Check hoses and hose connections for leaks.
2. Disconnect all hoses and clean with compressed air. If any
hose cannot be freed of obstructions, replace.

Fuel Pressure Release
Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from
fuel line to eliminate danger.
1. Start engine.
2. Perform ``FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE'' in ``WORK
SUPPORT'' mode with CONSULT.
(Touch ``START'' and after engine stalls, crank it two or
three times to release all fuel pressure.)
3. Turn ignition switch off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OR-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Remove fuse for fuel pump.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release
all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch off and reconnect fuel pump fuse.
Fuel Pressure Check
lWhen reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
lMake sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent
parts.
lUse a torque driver to tighten clamps.
lUse Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero, refer to above.
2. Disconnect fuel hose between fuel filter and fuel tube (engine
side).
3. Install pressure gauge between fuel filter and fuel tube.
4. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
5. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
At idling:
Approximately 235 kPa (2.35 bar, 2.4 kg/cm
2,34
psi)
A few seconds after ignition switch is turned OFF to
ON:
Approximately 294 kPa (2.94 bar, 3.0 kg/cm
2,43
psi)
6. Stop engine and disconnect fuel pressure regulator vacuum
hose from intake manifold.
7. Plug intake manifold with a rubber cap.
8. Connect variable vacuum source to fuel pressure regulator.
9. Start engine and read indication of fuel pressure gauge as
vacuum is changed.
Fuel pressure should decrease as vacuum increases. If
results are unsatisfactory, replace fuel pressure regulator.
