How Emission Control Works

When an automobile engine is running, it uses energy generated through the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. Depending on whether
a car is driven fast or slowly or whether the
engine is cold or hot, some of the fuel
(hydrocarbons) may not be burned completely but be discharged into the engine crankcase
or exhaust system. Additional hydrocarbons
may enter the atmosphere through
evaporation of fuel from the fuel tank. These
hydrocarbons (HC), when released into the
air, contribute to undesirable pollution.
In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contribute to engine
emissions. They, too, are formed during the
combustion process and discharged into the
exhaust system.
To reduce these pollutants, your Porsche is
equipped with a precisely calibrated fuel
injection system to assure a finely balanced
air/fuel mixture under all operating conditions.

Oxygen Sensor
The oxygen sensor, installed in the exhaust
pipe continuously senses the oxygen content
of the exhaust and signals the information to
an electronic control unit. The control unit
corrects the air/fuel ratio, so that the engine
always receives an accurately metered air fuel mixture. .
Crankcase Ventilation
Through Crankcase Ventilation undesirable
emissions from the engine crankcase are not
permitted to reach the outside atmosphere.
These emissions are recirculated from the
crankcase to the air intake system. From here
the emissions mix with the intake air and are
later burned in the engine.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter is an efficient
"cleanup" device built into the exhaust system
of the vehicle. The catalytic converter burns
the undesirable pollutants in the exhaust gas
before it is released into the atmosphere.
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically important for the life of the
catalytic converter. Therefore, only
unleaded gasoline without additives must
be used.
The catalytic converter will be damaged by

push or tow starting your vehicle
misfiring of the engine turning off the ignition while the vehicle is moving or
by other unusual operating conditions.
Do not continue to operate your vehicle
under these conditions, as otherwise fuel
can reach the catalytic converter. This
could result in overheating of the
converter.
Federal law prohibits use of leaded
gasoline in this car.
The Emission Control System and its other
related components are illustrated and
described on the following pages.

Fuel Evaporation Control
Fuel Tank Venting
The expansion chamber and the roll over valve prevent fuel from escaping to the outside at
extreme high outside temperatures and when
the car is driven or parked at an incline or in
any other nonlevel position. The safety valve
works as a restrictor in the tank vent line between the expansion chamber and the
canister.
Vapor Control System and Storage
When the fuel tank is filled, vapors are
collected in the expansion chamber and filler
tube by a vent l
ine leading the vapors via a roll over valve to the activated carbon canister where they are stored as long as the engine does not run. During engine operation, the
vapors are stored in the activated carbon
canister as long as the control valve I
(ON/OFF valve) is in the OFF-position.
The control valve I stops purging of the
canister during all other operating conditions of the engine if the coolant temperature of the
engine is below a defined temperature.
Purge System
Fuel vapors from the carbon canister will be
mixed with fresh air taken from the ambient

of the carbon canister or fuel vapors from the
fuel tank. The vapors will be directed via a
control valve I and control valve II to the air
intake system housing. The control valve I has the following functions:
To stop purging of the canister during idle (the rich vapor flow from the canister would
influence the mixture characteristic).
To allow purging of the canister during all
other operating conditions of the engine.
The control valve II controls the vapor flow to
the engine.
