CAP
The fuel tank is sealed with a pressure-vacuum re­
lief fuel tank filler tube cap (Fig. 3). The relief valves
in the cap are a safety feature. They operate only to
prevent excessive pressure or vacuum in tank caused
by a malfunction in system or damage to vent lines.

The cap has a threaded configuration. This allows
the seal to be broken and pressure to be relieved without separation of cap from filler tube. Approxi­
mately two and a half turns are required to remove
the cap.
If replacement of filler tube cap is necessary, it
must be replaced with an identical cap to be sure of
correct system operation.

4 PCV Valve/Hose—Typical
A closed engine crankcase breather/filter, with a
hose connecting it to the air filter housing, provides
the source of air for system.
The PCV system operates by engine intake mani­
fold vacuum (Fig. 5). Filtered air is routed into the
crankcase through the air filter hose and crankcase
breather/filter. This forces crankcase vapors through
the PCV valve. It is then drawn into a passage in the intake manifold. Here it becomes part of the cali­
brated air/fuel mixture to be consumed in the com­ bustion chamber. The PCV system constantly ventilates the crankcase to help prevent sludge for­
mation and vapors from entering the atmosphere.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE The PCV valve contains a spring loaded plunger.
This plunger meters the amount of crankcase vapors
routed into the combustion chamber based on intake
manifold vacuum.
When the engine is not operating or during an en­
gine popback, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat. This will prevent vapors from flow­
ing through the valve (Fig. 6).
During periods of high manifold vacuum, such as
idle or cruising speeds, vacuum is sufficient to com­
pletely compress spring. It will then pull the plunger
to the top of the valve (Fig. 7). In this position there is minimal vapor flow through the valve.

DESCRIPTION/OPERA
TION
All gas engines are equipped with a closed crank­
case ventilation system and PCV valve (Fig. 4).
This system consists of a crankcase PCV valve
mounted on the cylinder head (valve) cover with a
hose extending from the valve to the intake mani­ fold.

During periods of moderate manifold vacuum, the
plunger is only pulled part way back from inlet. This
results in maximum vapor flow through the valve
(Fig. 8).

(1) With engine idling, remove the PCV valve from
cylinder head (valve) cover. If the valve is not
plugged, a hissing noise will be heard as air passes through the valve. Also, a strong vacuum should be
felt at the valve inlet (Fig. 9).

(2) Install the PCV valve. Remove the crankcase
breather/filter. Hold a piece of stiff paper, such as a
parts tag, loosely over the opening of crankcase
breather/filter at the cylinder head (valve) cover (Fig.
10).

(3) The paper should be drawn against the opening
in the cylinder head (valve) cover with noticeable
force. This will be after allowing approximately one minute for crankcase pressure to reduce.

Replace the PCV valve and retest the system if it
does not operate as described in the preceding tests.
Do not attempt to clean the old PCV valve.
(5) If the paper is not held against the opening in
cylinder head (valve) cover after new valve is in­ stalled, the PCV valve hose may be restricted and
must be replaced. The passage in the intake manifold
must also be checked and cleaned. To clean the intake manifold fitting, turn a 1/4
inch drill (by hand) through the fitting to dislodge
any solid particles. Blow out the fitting with shop air. If necessary, use a smaller drill to avoid remov­
ing any metal from the fitting.

BREATHER/FILTER-GAS POWERED

ENGINES
The crankcase breather/filter (Fig. 12) is located on
the cylinder head (valve) cover. It must be kept clean and lubricated. At the recommended interval, remove
the filter and wash it thoroughly in kerosene or sim­ ilar solvent. Lubricate or wet the filter by inverting
it and filling with SAE 30 engine oil. Filter must
then be thoroughly drained. More frequent service
may be necessary for vehicles operated extensively on short run, stop and go or extended engine idle ser­

vice.
The filter must be replaced at correct intervals. Re­
fer to Lubrication and Maintenance, Group 0 in this service manual. 8925-28

EXHAUST
GAS
RECIRCULATION
(EGR)
SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in the engine exhaust and helps prevent spark
knock. This is accomplished by allowing a predeter­
mined amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and
dilute the incoming fuel/air mixture. This dilution
reduces peak flame temperature during combustion.
The system consists of an intake manifold mounted
EGR valve (Fig. 1) and connecting hoses. The vac­
uum to the EGR is controlled by the electric EGR
transducer (EET) (Figs. 1 and 2). The EET is a dual
electric/vacuum function switch. It is controlled by
engine vacuum and the powertrain control module (PCM).
Fig. 1 EGR System—Gas Powered Engines
EGR OPERATION The electric exhaust gas recirculation transducer
(EET) is a back pressure transducer and an electric
vacuum solenoid combined into a single unit (Figs. 1 and 2). The vacuum solenoid portion of the EET re­
ceives its electrical signal from the powertrain con­
trol module (PCM). Using this signal, the solenoid regulates the vacuum flowing through to the trans­ ducer portion of the EET. The back pressure trans-

ducer measures the amount of exhaust gas back
pressure on the exhaust side of the EGR valve. It
then varies the strength of the vacuum signal ap­
plied to the EGR valve. The transducer uses this
back pressure signal to provide the correct amount of exhaust gas recirculation under all conditions.
The vacuum supply for the EGR valve is controlled
by the EET. The electrical solenoid portion of the EET is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM monitors engine coolant tempera­
ture and other operating conditions to determine
when EGR operation is desired. Refer to Open Loop/ Closed Loop Modes of Operation in Group 14, Fuel
Systems for a description of EGR solenoid operation
based on engine operating conditions.
If the electrical connector to the EET is dis­
connected or the electrical signal is lost, the
EGR valve will operate at all times. This results
in poor engine performance and reduced driveability
during certain operating conditions.
Vacuum flows between the solenoid portion of the
EET and the transducer portion of the EET. This
happens only when the solenoid is not electrically en­ ergized. The transducer is connected to the EGR
valve by a vacuum hose and a back pressure hose.
The transducer is controlled by exhaust back pres­ sure and is ported to the exhaust manifold through a
hose connecting it to the bottom of the EGR valve.
Vacuum will be supplied to the EGR valve and
EGR operation will begin when:
