System
The

is
used
to
vent
the
fuel
tank
to
a
charcoal
canister,
which
is
then
purgedby

during

operatíon
.
This
controls

.
A
fuel
expansion
tank,
located
under
the
right
rear
fender,
traps
overflow
fuel
and
incorporates
extra
fuel
tank
plumbing
.
Startingwith
1996
models,
OBD
II
standards
require
that
the
fuel
tank
evaporative
control
system
be
monitored
for
leaks
.
This
is
accomplished
usingthe
fuel

sor,
the
ventshut

and
the
evaporative
purge
valve
.
NOTE-
On
most
early
cars(1992-1995),
the
charcoal
canister
is
in
the
engine
compartment
.
On
latercars,
the
char-
coal

is
under
the
spare

GENERAL
This
section
covers
repair
and
troubleshooting
information
for
the
engine
cooling
system
.
For
heater

and
related
heating
and

components,
see640
Heating
and
Air
Conditioning
.
Coolant
Pump
and
Thermostat
A
centrifuga¡-type
coolant
pump
is
mounted
to
the
front
of
the
engíne
.
The
belt-driven
pump
circulates
coolant
through
the
system
whenever
the
engíne
is
running
.
A
thermostat
con-
trols
the
flow
of
coolant
into
the
radiator
.
When
the
engíne
is
cold
the
thermostat
is
closed
so
coolant
bypasses
the
radiator,
recirculating
from
the
engíne
directly
back
to
the
pump
.
When
the
engíne
reaches
operating
tem-
perature,
the
thermostat
opens
and
coolant
circulates
through
the
whole
system
including
the
radiator
.
Radiator
and
Expansion
Tank
The
radiator
is
a
crossflow
design
.
A
translucent
expansion
tank
provides
for
coolant
expansion
at
higher
temperatures
and
easy
monitoringof
the
coolant
leve¡
.
On
4-cylinder
modeis,
the
radiator
expansion
tank
is
integral
with
the
radiator
.
