DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Description
The engine management system (EMS) maintains
optimum engine performance over the entire
operating range. The correct amount of fuel is
metered into each cylinder inlet tract and the ignition
timing is adjusted at each spark plug.
The system is controlled by the ENGINE CONTROL
MODULE (ECM) which receives data from sensors
located on and around the engine. From this
information it provides the correct fuel requirements
and ignition timing at all engine loads and speeds.
The fuel injection system uses a hot wire Mass Air
Flow Sensor to calculate the amount of air flowing into
the engine.
The ignition system does not use a distributor. It is a
direct ignition system (DIS), using four double ended
coils. The circuit to each coil is completed by
switching inside the ECM.
The on board diagnostic system detects any faults
which may occur within the EMS. Fault diagnosis
includes failure of all EMS sensors and actuators,
emissions related items, fuel supply and exhaust
systems.
The system incorporates certain default strategies to
enable the vehicle to be driven in case of sensor
failure. This may mean that a fault is not detected by
the driver. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.
A further feature of the system is 'robust
immobilisation'.Crankshaft position sensor (CKP Sensor)
The crankshaft position sensor is the most important
sensor on the engine. It is located in the left hand side
of the flywheel housing and uses a different thickness
of spacer for manual and automatic gearboxes. The
signal it produces informs the ECM:
- the engine is turning
- how fast the engine is turning
- which stage the engine is at in the cycle.
As there is no default strategy, failure of the
crankshaft sensor will result in the engine failing to
start. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.
Camshaft position sensor (CMP Sensor)
The camshaft position sensor is located in the engine
front cover. It produces one pulse every two
revolutions. The signal is used in two areas, injector
timing corrections for fully sequential fuelling and
active knock control.
If the camshaft sensor fails, default operation is to
continue normal ignition timing. The fuel injectors will
be actuated sequentially, timing the injection with
respect to top dead centre. Injection will either be
correct or one revolution out of synchronisation. The
fault is not easily detected by the driver. The fault is
indicated by illumination of the malfunction indicator
light (MIL) on North American specification vehicles.
Mass air flow sensor (MAF Sensor)
The 'hot wire' type mass air flow sensor is mounted
rigidly to the air filter and connected by flexible hose to
the plenum chamber inlet. The sensing element of the
MAF Sensor is a hot wire anenometer consisting of
two wires, a sensing wire which is heated and a
compensating wire which is not heated. Air flows
across the wires cooling the heated one, changing its
resistance. The ECM measures this change in
resistance and calculates the amount of air flowing
into the engine.
As there is no default strategy, failure will result in the
engine starting, and dying when it reaches 550
rev/min, when the ECM detects no MAF Sensor
signal. The fault is indicated by illumination of the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) on North American
specification vehicles.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ADD: 09/95 Fuel Filler Neck Assembly
The filler neck consists of a stainless steel upper
section and a convolute nylon lower section. The
nylon lower is joined at one end to the tank and at the
other to the stainless upper section where both joints
utilise a short piece of rubber hose. The joint at the
fuel tank is secured using a spring assisted hose clip
which has a shear off cap.
NOTE: The spring assisted clip must never
be re-used, if removed a new clip of the
same type must be fitted.
Tank vent connections are achieved using serviceable
plastic quickfit connectors. The filler cap is tethered to
the body of the vehicle. Only a cap of this type must
be used as a replacement.Fuel Lines
The fuel lines consist of two coated steel lines fitted
along the length of the chassis from the fuel pump at
the rear of the vehicle to the connections at the fuel
rail on the engine, via a fuel filter on the feed line.
Connections at the pump are metal quickfits, while
those at the filter and fuel rail are threaded unions
utilising "O" rings for effective sealing.
NOTE: When the fuel filter is serviced or
the fuel rail joints are disconnected, new
"O" rings must always be fitted.
Connections at the fuel rail are made using "Saginaw"
screw thread type connectors with "O" rings as the
sealing medium. The fuel lines in the engine
compartment are made from a braided nylon material.
NOTE: This material must not be clamped
or kinked as this impairs its performance.

REPAIR FUEL SYSTEM - DEPRESSURISE
WARNING: Fuel pressure of up to 2.5 bar
will be present in the system, even if the
engine has not been run for some time.
Always depressurise the system before
disconnecting any components in the fuel feed
line (between fuel pump and pressure regulator).
The spilling of fuel is unavoidable during this
operation. Ensure that all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent fire and explosion.
NOTE: Fuel pressure can be relieved at
fuel rail feed union or fuel filter unions.
1.Position cloth around relevant union to protect
against fuel spray.
2.Carefully slacken union.
3.Tighten union to correct torque once pressure
has relieved.
