CONTROL SYSTEM
Throttle sensor
76G04C-139
This system electronically controls the ignition timing to obtain better engine performance.
The best ignition timing is determined and set within the engine control unit based on signals from
the various sensors and switches.
The knock control function is used only with leaded fuel engines.

EGR SYSTEM (UNLEADED FUEL) 4C
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
(EGR)
SYSTEM (UNLEADED FUEL)
This system introduces exhaust gas into the intake manifold to reduce NOx emissions. It operates de-
pending on the engine load, engine speed (1,500—3,500 rpm), engine coolant temperature (above
70°C, 158°F), and radiator coolant temperature (above 17°C, 63°F).
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function Remark
EGR control valve Recirculates portion of exhaust gas
EGR modulator valve Controls vacuum acting on EGR control valve
Engine control unit Detects signals from input sensors and switches; con-trols solenoid valve (EGR)
Ne signal pick-up Detects crank angle at 180° intervals; sends signal to engine control unit
Solenoid valve (EGR) Controls vacuum to EGR control valve
Throttle sensor Detects throttle valve opening angle; sends signal to en-
gine control unit
Installed on throttle body
Water thermo sensor Detects coolant temperature; sends signal to engine control unit
Water thermo switch Detects radiator coolant temperature; sends signal to engine control unit ON: above 17°C (63°F)

System Inspection
1. Start the engine.
2. Accelerate the engine while still cold and verify that
the diaphragm of the EGR control valve does not
move.
3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temper-
ature and run it at idle.
Warning
Be careful when checking the EGR control
valve, the surrounding area is very hot.
4. Accelerate the engine and check that the di-
aphragm of the EGR control valve moves.
Solenoid Valve (EGR)
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum
pipe.
2. Blow through the solenoid valve from vacuum hose
A.
3. Check that air flows from port B.

4. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.
5. Connect 12V and a ground to the terminals of the
solenoid valve.
6. Blow through the solenoid valve from vacuum hose
A.
7. Check that air flows from the air filter.
EGR Modulator Valve
1. Remove the EGR modulator valve.
2. Plug the No. 1 port and connect a vacuum pump
to the No. 3 port.
3. Blow into the exhaust gas port. Operate the vacu-
um pump and verify that vacuum is held.
4. Release the exhaust gas port and confirm that
vacuum is released.
EGR Control Valve
1. Warm up the engine and run at idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EGR con-
trol valve and plug it.
3. Verify that the engine runs smoothly.
4. If not correct, clean the exhaust gas passage in
the valve or replace the valve.
Note
Before replacing the EGR control valve, check
the intake air and control systems.
5. Connect a vacuum pump to the valve and apply
vacuum.
6. Verify that the engine runs roughly or stalls at more
than the specified vacuum.
Specification:
40—60 mmHg (1.6—2.4 inHg)
7. If not correct, replace the EGR control valve.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
(EEC)
SYSTEM
Water thermo sensor
76G04C-150
Unleaded fuel:
This system stores fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank in the canister when the engine is not running.
The fuel vapor is stored in the canister until it is drawn into the dynamic chamber and burned when
the engine is started.
Leaded fuel:
Fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank flows out to the atmosphere.
