EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (2JZ±GTE)
SYSTEM PURPOSE
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of CO, HC and NOx exhausted from the
engine ((3), (4) and (5)), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow±by gas±containing HC (1) and evapo-
rated fuel containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in the following table.
System Abbreviation Function
(1) Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(2) Evaporative Emission Control
(3) Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(4) Three±way Catalytic Converter
(5) Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection*

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
(PCV) SYSTEM
PCV VALVE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE PCV VALVE
(a) Disconnect the PCV hose from the PCV valve.
(b) Remove the PCV valve.
2. INSTALL CLEAN HOSE TO PCV VALVE
3. INSPECT PCV VALVE OPERATION
(a) Blow air into the cylinder head side, and check that air passes
through easily.
CAUTION: Do not suck air through the valve. Petroleum sub-
stances inside the valve are harmful.
(b) Blow air into the air intake chamber side, and check that air
passes through with difficulty.
If operation is not as specified, replace the PCV valve.
4. REMOVE CLEAN HOSE FROM PCV VALVE
5. REINSTALL PCV VALVE
PCV HOSES AND CONNECTORS
INSPECTION
VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GAS-
KETS
Check for cracks, leaks or damage.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP)
CONTROL SYSTEM
FUEL VAPOR LINES, FUEL TANK AND
TANK CAP INSPECTION
1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK
Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
CHARCOAL CANISTER INSPECTION
1. REMOVE CHARCOAL CANISTER
2. VISUALLY INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
Look for cracks or damage.
3. CHECK FOR CLOGGED FILTER AND STUCK CHECK
VA LV E
(a) Using low pressure compressed air (4.71 kPa (0.048
kgf/cm
2, 0.68 psi)), blow into port C and check that air flows
without resistance from the other ports. EG±178
± ENGINEEMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (2JZ±GTE)

(b) Blow air (4.71 kPa (0.048 kgf/cm2, 0.68 psi)) into port A, and
check that air does not flow from the other ports.
(c) Blow air (4.71 kPa (0.048 kgf/cm
2, 0.68 psi)) into port B, and
check that air does not flow from the other ports.
If operation is not as specified, replace the charcoal canister.
4. CLEAN FILTER IN CANISTER
Clean the filter by blowing 294 kPa (3 kgf/cm
2, 43 psi) of com-
pressed air into port C while holding port A and B closed.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to wash the canister.
No activated carbon should come out.
5. REINSTALL CHARCOAL CANISTER
VSV INSPECTION
(See VSV for EVAP in SFI System)
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE CHECK VALVE
2. INSPECT CHECK VALVE
(a) Check that air flows from the blue port to the black port.
(b) Check that air does not flow from the black port to the blue
port.
If operation is not as specified, replace the check valve.
3. REINSTALL CHECK VALVE
HINT: Install the check valve with the black port facing the
purge port side of the throttle body.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
SYSTEM
EGR SYSTEM INSPECTION
1. INSPECT AND CLEAN FILTER IN EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
(a) Remove the cap and 2 filters.
(b) Check the filter for contamination or damage.
(c) Using compressed air, clean the filter.
(d) Reinstall the 2 filters and cap.
HINT: Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the at-
mospheric side (outward).
2. INSTALL VACUUM GAUGE
Using a 3±way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the
hose between the EGR valve and vacuum modulator.
3. INSPECT SEATING OF EGR VALVE
Start the engine and check that the engine starts and runs at
at idle.
4. INSPECT VSV OPERATION WITH COLD ENGINE
(a) The coolant temperature should be below 50°C (122° F).
(b) From idle, race the engine to 3,500±4,000 rpm (throttle valve
opening angle to about 1/3 of maximum).
(c) Check that the EGR pipe is not hot.
(d) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero.
5. INSPECT VSV OPERATION WITH HOT ENGINE
(a) Warm up the engine to above 50°C (122°F)
(b) From idle, race the engine to 3,500±4,000 rpm (throttle valve
opening angle to about 1/3 of maximum).
(c) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates low vacuum.
6. REMOVE VACUUM GAUGE
Remove the vacuum gauge, and reconnect the vacuum
hoses to their proper locations.
7. INSPECT EGR VALVE
(a) Apply vacuum directly to the EGR valve with the engine
idling.
(b) Check that the engine runs rough or dies.
(c) Reconnect the vacuum hoses to the proper locations.
