PRC SYSTEM 4C
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function Remark
Engine control unit Detects signals from input sensors and switches; con-trols solenoid valve (Pressure regulator control)
Ignition switch
(ST position)
Sends engine cranking signal to engine control unit
Intake air thermo sensor Detects intake air temperature; sends signal to engine control unit
Ne signal pick-up Detects crank angle at 180° intervals; sends signal to engine control unit Installed in distributor
Pressure regulator Adjusts fuel pressure supplied to injectors
Solenoid valve (Pres-
sure regulator control)
Controls vacuum to pressure regulator Cuts vacuum when hot
Water thermo sensor Detects coolant temperature; sends signal to engine control unit
Idle switch Detects when throttle valve closed; sends signal to engine control unit ON at idle
76G04C-129
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the condition of the wiring harness and connections before checking the sensors or switches.
Note
Make the system inspection first. If no problem is found, continue with inspection of the
next system of the Troubleshooting Guide. (Refer to pages 4C—10 and 11.)

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function Remark
Air flow sensor Detects amount of intake air;
sends signal to engine control unit
Distributor Has Ne and G signal pick-up and distributes high voltage to spark plugs
Engine control unit Detects signals from input sensors and switches; decides best ignition timing
Idle switch Detects when throttle valve fully closed; sends signal to engine control unit Installed on throttle body
Igniter Receives spark signal from engine control unit and generates high voltage in ignition coil
Ignition switch
(ST position) Sends engine cranking signal to engine con-trol unit
Ne signal pick-up Detects crank angle at 180° intervals; sends signal to engine control unit Installed in distributor
Knock sensor (leaded fuel) Detects engine knocking; sends signal to knock control unit
Throttle sensor Detects throttle opening angle; sends signal to engine control unit Installed on throttle body

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.

System Inspection
1. Check
the
vacuum hose routing.
2. If there
is a
poor connection, clog,
or
leak, repair
or replace
as
necessary.
3. Warm
up the
engine
and run it at
idle.
4. Disconnect vacuum hose
A
from
No. 1
purge con-
trol valve
and
connect
the SST to the
hose.

5. Increase
the
engine speed
to
above 2,500
rpm
and verify that
the
gauge shows more than
150
