:ompartment. Inspect all mounting brackets and
bangers for deterioration, some models may have
ubber O-rings that can be overstretched and non-
supportive. These components will need to be re-
Ilaced if found. It has always been a practice to use a
)ointed tool to poke up into the exhaist system
vhere the deterioration spots are to see whether or

te necessary to remove these shields to have the ex-
laust visible for inspection also. Before removing any component of the exhaust
system, ALWAYS squirt a Liquid rust dissolving agent
onto the fasteners for ease of removal. A lot of
knuckle skin will be saved by following this rule. It
may even be wise to spray the fasteners and allow
them to sit overniqht.

self. Next, disconnect the component from the
mounting; slight twisting and turning may be re-
quired to remove the component completely from thr
vehicle. You may need to tap on the component with
a rubber mallet to loosen it. If all else fails, use a
hacksaw to sep; arate the parts. An oxy-acetylene cut-
ting torch may I 3e faster but the sparks are OANGER-

There are basically two types of exhaust systems.
)ne is the flange type where the component ends are
attached with bolts and a gasket in-between. The
)ther exhaust system is the slip joint type. These
:omponents slip into one another using clamps to
iold them together. Do NOT perform exhaust repairs or inspec-
tion with the engine or exhaust hot. Allow the
system to cool completely before attempting
any work. Exhaust systems are noted for
sharp edges, flaking metal and rusted bolts.
Gloves and eye protection are required. A
healthy supply of penetrating oil and
rags is
highly recommended. Never spray liquid rust
dissolving agent onto a hot exhaust compo-
nent. Slip Joint Type
V See Figure 225
Before removing any component on the slip joint
type exhaust system, ALWAYS squirt a liquid rust
dissolving agent onto the fasteners for ease of re-
moval. Start by unbolting the exhaust piece at both
ends (if required). When unbolting the headpipe fron
the manifold, make sure that the bolts are free before
trying to remove them. if you snap a stud in the ex-
haust manifold. the stud will have to be removed wit1
Before removing any component on a flange type
system, ALWAYS squirt a liquid rust dissolving agent a bolt extractor, which often means removal of the
._ manifold itself. Next. remove the mountina U-bolts

bolting the exhaust piece at both ends (if required).
When unbolting the headpipe from the manifold,
make sure that the bolts are free before trying to re-
move them. if you snap a stud in the exhaust mani-
fold, the stud will have to be removed with a bolt ex-

4-2 DRIVEABILITYAND EMISSIONS CONTROLS
OPERATION
p See Figures 1, 2, and 3
All engines are equipped with the Positive
Crankcase Venhlation (PCV) system. The PCV sys-
tem vents crankcase gases into the engine air intake
where they are burned with the fuel and air mrxture.
The PCV system keeps pollutants from being re-
leased into the atmosphere It also helps to keep the
engine 011 clean, by ridding the crankcase of moisture
and corrosive fumes. The PCV system consists of the
PCV valve, the nipple in the air intake and the con-
necting hoses.
Incorrect operation of the PCV system can cause
multiple driveability symptoms.
A plugged valve or hose may cause’

p See Figures 4 and 5
1. Disconnect the ventilation hose from the PCV
valve. Remove the PCV valve from the engine Once
removed, reconnect the ventilation hose to the valve.
2. Start the engine and allow to idle. Place a fin-
ger over open end of the PCV valve. Make sure intake
manifold vacuum is felt on finger.
3. If vacuum is not felt, the PCV valve may be re-
stricted.
4. Turn the engine
OFF and remove the PCV
valve from the hose.
5. Insert a thin stick into the threaded end of the
PCV valve. Push on the inner plunger and inspect for
movement.
6. If plunger inside the PCV valve is not free to
move back and forth, the valve is clogged and WIII re-
quire replacement.
*It is possible to clean the valve using the
appropriate solvent, but replacement is rec-
ommended.
REMOVAL&INSTALLATION
For PCV valve removal and installation, please re-
fer to Section 1 of this manual.

p See Figures 6 and 7
Changes in atmospheric temperature cause fuel
tanks to breathe, that is, the air within the tank ex-
pands and contracts with outside temperature
changes. If an unsealed system was used, when the
temperature rises, air would escape through the tank
vent tube or the vent in the tank cap. The air which
escapes contains gasoline vapors.
The Evaporative Emission Control System pro-
vides a sealed fuel system with the capability to store
and condense fuel vapors. When the fuel evaporates
in the fuel tank, the vapor passes through the EVAP
emission valve, through vent hoses or tubes to a car-
bon filled evaporative canister. When the engine is
operahng the vapors are drawn into the intake mani-
fold and burned during combustion.
A sealed, maintenance free evaporative canister is
used The canister is filled wrth granules of an acti-
vated carbon mixture. Fuel vapors entering the canis-
ter are absorbed by the charcoal granules. A vent cap
is located on the top of the canister to provide fresh
air to the canister when it is being purged. The vent
cap opens to provide fresh air into the canister, which
circulates through the charcoal, releasing trapped va-
pors and carrying them to the engine to be burned.
Fuel tank pressure vents fuel vapors into the can-
ister. They are held in the canister until they can be
drawn into the intake manifold. The canister purge
valve allows the canister to be purged at a pre-deter-
mined time and engine operating conditions.
Vacuum to the canister is controlled by the canis-
ter purge valve. The valve IS operated by the PCM.
The PCM regulates the valve by switching the ground
circuit on and off based on engine operating condi-
tions When energized, the valve prevents vacuum
from reaching the canister. When not energized the
valve allows vacuum to purge the vapors from the
canister.
During warm up and for a specified time after hot
starts, the PCM energizes (grounds) the valve pre-
venting vacuum from reaching the canrster. When the
engine temperature reaches the operating level of
about 120°F (49°C) the PCM removes the ground
from the valve allowing vacuum to flow through the
canister and purges vapors through the throttle body.
During certain Idle conditions, the purge valve may
be grounded to control fuel mixture calibrations.
The fuel tank is sealed with a pressure-vacuum re-
lief filler cap. The relief valve in the cap is a safety
feature, preventing excessive pressure or vacuum in
the fuel tank. If the cap is malfunctioning, and needs
to be replaced, ensure that the replacement is the
identical cap to ensure correct system operation,
OBD-II EVAP System Monitor
Some models have added system components
due to the EVAP system monitor incorporated in the
OBD-II engrne control system. A pressure sensor is
mounted on the fuel tank which measures pressure
inside the tank, and a purge flow sensor measures
the flow of the gases from the canister into the en-
gine.
The PCM can store trouble codes for EVAP sys-
tem performance, a list of the codes is provided later

I
The Multi-Point Injection (MPI) system is electroni-
rally controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM),
based on data from various sensors. The ECM controls
the fuel flow, idle speed and ignition timing. fuel pipe is installed.
Fuel is supplied to the injectors by an electric in-
tank fuel pump and is distributed to the respective in-
jectors via the main fuel pipe. The fuel pressure ap-
plied to the injector is constant and higher than the
pressure in the intake manifold. The pressure is con-
trolled by the fuel pressure regulator. The excess fuel
is returned to the fuel tank through the fuel return pipe.
When an electric current flows in the injector, the
injector valve is fully opened to supply fuel. Since the
fuel pressure is constant, the amount of the fuel in-
jetted from the injector into the manifold is increased
or decreased in proportion to the time the electric
current flows. Based on ECU signals, the injectors in-
ject fuel to the cylinder manifold ports in firing order. Fuel injection systems remain under pres-
sure after the engine has been turned OFF.
Properly relieve fuel pressure before discon-
neeting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may
result in fire or personal injury.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Loosen the fuel filler cap to release fuel tank
pressure.
I
The flow rate of the air drawn through the air
cleaner is measured by the air flow sensor. The air
enters the air intake plenum or manifold through the
throttle body. In the intake manifold, the air is mixed
with the fuel from the injectors and is drawn into the
cylinder, The air flow rate is controlled according to
the degree of the throttle valve and the servo motor
openings. The system is monitored through a num-
ber of sensors which feed information on engine con-
ditions and requirements to the ECM. The ECM cal-
culates the injection time and rate according to the
signals from the sensors,
Safety is the most important factor when perform-
ing not only fuel system maintenance but any type of
maintenance. Failure to conduct maintenance and re-
pairs in a safe manner may result in serious personal
injury or death. Maintenance and testing of the vehi-
cle’s fuel system components can be accomplished
safely and effectively by adhering to the following
rules and guidelines.
l To avoid the possibility of fire and personal in-
jury, always disconnect the negative battery cable un-
less the repair or test procedure requires that battery
voltage be applied.
l Always relieve the fuel system pressure prior to
disconnecting any fuel system component (injector,
fuel rail, pressure regulator, etc.), fitting or fuel line
connection. Exercise extreme caution whenever re- Observe all applicable safety precautions
when working around fuel. Whenever servic-
ing the fuel system, always work in a well
ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or va-
pors to come in contact with a spark or open
flame. Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher
near the work area. Always keep fuel in a con-
tainer specifically designed for fuel storage;
also, always properly seal fuel containers to
avoid the possibility of fire or explosion.
3. For the Mirage, Diamante, and 1994-00
Galant, remove the rear seat cushion, then remove
the service cover and detach the fuel pump harness
connector.
4. For the 1990-93 FWD Galant, detach the fuel
pump harness connector located in the area of the
fuel tank. It may be necessary to raise the vehicle to
access the connector.
5. For the 1990-93 AWD Galant, remove the car-
pet from the trunk, locate the fuel tank wiring at the
pump access cover, then detach the wiring.
6. Start the vehicle and allow it to run until it
stalls from lack of fuel. Turn the key to the OFF posi-
tion.
7. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then at-
tach the fuel pump connector. Install the access .
cover, cushion or carpet as necessary.
8. Wrap shop towels around the fitting that is be-
ing disconnected to absorb residual fuel in the lines.
9. Place shop towels into proper safety container. Fig, 8 Detach the connector for the throttle
position (TP) sensor
93153ps5 Fig, 9 Remove the accelerator cable end
from the throttle lever
Fig. IO Remove the hose shown here from
lieving fuel system pressure to avoid exposing skin,
face and eyes to fuel spray. Please be advised that
fuel under pressure may penetrate the skin or any
part of the body that it contacts.
l Always place a shop towel or cloth around the
fitting or connection prior to loosening to absorb any
excess fuel due to spillage. Ensure that all fuel
spillage (should it occur) is quickly removed from
enginesurfaces. Ensure that all fuel soaked cloths or
towels are deposited into a suitable waste container.
l Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire ex-
tinguisher near the work area.
l Do not allow fuel spray or fuel vapors to come
into contact with a spark or open flame.
l Always use a backup wrench when loosening’
and tightening fuel line connection fittings. This will
prevent unnecessary stress and torsion to fuel line
piping. Always follow the proper torque specifica-
tions. REMOVAL &INSTALLATION
