touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
POWER STEERING FLUID
When adding power steering fluid, avoid spilling. Damage to
alternator, located beneath power steering reservoir, could result.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
RADIATOR FAN
WARNING: Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15
minutes even after engine is turned off.

EMISSION SYSTEMS
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CONTROL
Federal (Non-Turbocharged)
To lower oxides of nitrogen (NOx) exhaust emissions, a non-
computer controlled exhaust gas recirculation system is used. EGR
operation is controlled by throttle body ported vacuum. Vacuum is
routed through thermovalve to prevent EGR operation at low engine
temperatures.
Spring pressure holds EGR valve closed during low vacuum
conditions (engine idling or wide open throttle). When vacuum pressure\
increases and overcomes EGR spring pressure, EGR valve is lifted and
allows exhaust gases to flow into intake manifold for combustion.
California & Turbocharged
ECU controls EGR operation by activating EGR control solenoid
valve according to engine load. When engine is cold, ECU signals EGR
control solenoid valve to deactivate EGR.
California models are equipped with an EGR temperature
sensor. When EGR malfunction occurs, EGR temperature decreases and ECU
illuminates CHECK ENGINE (malfunction indicator) light.
EGR Control Solenoid Valve
Denies or allows vacuum supply to EGR valve, based upon ECU
commands.
Thermovalve
Denies or allows vacuum supply to EGR valve based on coolant
temperature.
EVAPORATIVE CONTROL
Fuel evaporation system prevents fuel vapor from entering
atmosphere. System consists of a special fuel tank with vapor
separator tanks (if equipped), vacuum relief filler cap, overfill
limiter (2-way valve), fuel check valve, thermovalve (if equipped),
charcoal canister, purge control valve, purge control solenoid valve
and connecting lines and hoses.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When engine is off, fuel vapors are vented into charcoal
canister. When engine is warmed to normal operating temperature and
running above idle, ECU energizes purge control solenoid valve,
allowing vacuum to purge valve.
Canister vapors are then drawn through purge valve into
intake manifold for burning. Purge control solenoid valve remains
closed during idle and engine warm-up to reduce HC and CO emissions.
HIGH ALTITUDE CONTROL (HAC)
This system compensates for variations in altitude. When
atmospheric (barometric) pressure sensor determines vehicle is above
preset altitude, ECU compensates by adjusting air/fuel mixture and
ignition timing. If HAC system is inoperative, there will be an
increase in emissions.
PCV VALVE
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve operates in the
closed crankcase ventilation system. Closed crankcase ventilation
