(1) Basic position
The basic position is preset as a map value Optimized
according to the engine coolant temperature. The idle
speed control servo is activated to conform to this position,
thereby maintaining the optimum idle speed.
This basic position of the idle control servo
diiectlycorresponds to the basic idle speed described earlier.

For models equipped with the automatic

the position of the shift lever is anywhere other than the
“P” or “N” range, the servo position is increased in
proportion to the load of the torque-converter.
(3) Idle control servo position during operation of the power
steering system
When the power steering oil pressure switch is turned on
because the steering wheel is being turned while
thevehicle is stationary, the servo position is changed to
correspond to the increased power steering pump load.
(4) Servo position while the air conditioner is being operated
When the air conditioner switch is turned on, the servo
position is changed to correspond to the increased air
conditioner load.
(5) High altitude compensation
A correction is performed by increasing the opening of the
idle speed control servo to allow increasing bypass air flow
in order to compensate for the loss of intake air volume
(asmeasured by weight) caused by a reduction in intake air
density due to a drop in barometric pressure at increased
altitude.
(6) “Training” function
A “training” function that enters a value based upon the
engine rpm and the target rpm into the memon/,
andcorrects the servo position according to this value, is
provided in order to obtain an even higher degree of
precision of position control.

CONTROL WHEN THE ENGINE SPEED IS UNUSUALLY LOWThe followi
gcontrols are provided when the engine speecfalls below
i5;D rpm after the engine has been fully warmed-up
[with engine coolant temperature more than
55°C (131”F)].
(1) During feedback control
The idle speed control servo is activated immediately by a
particular number of angular steps which represent the
feedback correction.
(2) During servo position control
The idle speed control servo is activated to conform to
aposition corresponding to an increased number of steps
(46
steps).DASH POT CONTROL
Control is provided to dampen the extending motion of the
pintle from a certain opening degree, thereby absorbing
deceleration shocks.
(1) Control while cruising
While cruising or racing, the idle speed control servo is
activated to further open the bypass air path corresponding
to the dash pot position which is more open than the idle
position.The idle speed control servo is activated in this way when
the following conditions are met.
l Engine speed 500 rpm or higher
l Idle position switch in the OFF position
The dash pot position is dependent on the throttle valve
opening map value.,
(2) Control during deceleration
When the vehicle is decelerated from a cruising or racing
speed, the idle speed control servo is activated to close the
bypass air path gradually from the dash pot position so that
the intake air volume is not abruptly reduced, thereby
dampening deceleration shocks.
The idle speed control servo is activated when either one of
the following conditions are met.
lWhen the throttle position sensor output voltage drops
l When the idle switch is turned on.
CONTROL WHEN STARTING
While the engine is being cranked, the idle speed control servo
is controlled to provide optimum bypass air volume for starting.
Immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, idle speed
servo position control is provided to achieve the optimum
_
position.

Immediately after starting, the idle speed control servo
sactivation steps are increased above the idle position; in.-

55number of steps are preset as a map value according to theP2f/-/ engine coolant temperature.

!DLE STABILIZING CONTROL AT HIGH TERPERATURE
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds
&k (194°F) when
the engine is started, the feedback target speed after the
engine has started is increased a set value which is higher thannormal and then is gradually decreased.
CONTROL DURING IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMEN?
Grounding the ignition timing adjusting terminal and diagnosis/
data transfer select terminal causes the idle speed control
servo to be fixed at a position corresponding to the idle position
after warm-up. Idle speed is therefore adjusted with the servo
at the preset position after warm-up (9 steps).
The altitude compensation control is applied to thisposition,
meaning that the motor shifts to a position so that the pintle is
further retracted at high altitudes.

When the air conditioner switch ON signal is input,
the engine control unit turns the air conditioner relay
ON to activate the air conditioner compressor.
In order to prevent vibrations or engine stalling due
to activation of the compressor, the engine control
unit controls the air conditioner relay so that the
compressor is activated after a predetermined
interval, according to the current operating condi-
tions.For models equipped with the automatic
transaxle,when the vehicle is subjected to acceleration at
which the throttle valve opening is great (throttle-
position sensor output voltage approximately
4V or
more, i.e. throttle valve opening approximately 65
degree or more), the air conditioner power relay
circuit is interrupted for a certain fixed time (approx-
imately five seconds) in order to maintain the
acceleration performance.

FYHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
\ ,GR) SYSTEM
RZSCAAB
EGR system is designed to reduce oxides of
nitrogen in exhaust emissions. In this system, the
exhaust gas is partially recirculated from the
ex-haust manifold into the intake manifold while EGR
flow is controlled by the
EGR control valve.
OPERATION
The amount of
EGR flow is reaulated bv the throttlevacuum is low during engine idling, or during
wide-open throttle operation, the EGR control valve
is closed by the force.of the spring, with the result
that there is no flow of EGR gas.
If the temperature of the engine coolant is below
65°C (149”F), the therm0 valve opens and the “E”
port vacuum is leaked to the throttle body “A” port,
with the result that the
EGR valve does not function.

OPERATION
The engine control unit functions to calculate the
engine load, based upon the intake air volume
signals (from the air-flow sensor) and the rpm
signals (from the crank-angle sensor), and the
EGRcontrol solenoid valve is activated according to the
engine load. The
EGR amount is then regulated
according to the engine load calculated in this way.maintaining driveability during cold.
When, as a result of clogging of the
EGR cant’valve or as a result of an operational
malfunctio,.,the
EGR flow volume decreases, the EGR gas
temperature downstream. from the
EGR control
valve decreases. The engine control unit functions
to detect the
operation conditions of the EGRLoad
a Intake air volume/Engine rpmsystem by this characteristic.
If, however, the engine coolant temperature is low,
the actuation duty is attenuated, the
EGR control
valve activation negative pressure (vacuum) is
leaked from the throttle body A port, thus reducing
or interrupting the
EGR flow volume and therebyThe temperature of the
EGR gas is detected by the
EGR gas temperature sensor which is equipped at
the
EGR control valve; when the temperature
decreases to a low level, the engine warning light
(malfunction indicator light) illuminates in order to
advise the driver that a malfunction has occurred in
the
EGR system.
