EMISSION CONTROL
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION REV: 09/95 EMISSION CONTROL
Three systems are used to control the vehicle
atmospheric emissions these are:
Engine crankcase fume emissions.
Fuel tank Evaporative emissions
Engine exhaust gas emissions.
Crankcase ventilation system - 3.9 MFi models
only
The crankcase ventilation system which is an integral
part of the air supply to the engine combustion
chambers, is often overlooked when diagnosing
problems associated with engine performance. A
blocked ventilation pipe or filter or excessive air leak
into the inlet system through a damaged pipe or
leaking gasket can effect the mixture, performance
and economy of the engine.
1. Three way connector
2. Air filter
3. Oil separatorThe purpose of the crankcase ventilation system is to
ensure that any noxious gas generated in the engine
crankcase is rendered harmless by burning in the
combustion chambers as follows:
Oil laden noxious gas in the engine crankcase is
drawn through an oil separator 3 located on the right
cylinder head rocker cover, where the oil is separated
and returned to the sump. The gas flows through a
restrictor in the three way connection 1 and into the
inlet plenum chamber where it is drawn into the
combustion chambers and burned. The volume of
fresh air which is drawn from the atmospheric side of
the throttle butterfly to mix with the gas, depends on
the position of the throttle and the engine speed.
The air filter 2 fitted to the left cylinder head rocker
cover, must be maintained in clean condition to
ensure sufficient air enters the crankcase under
varying throttle openings and manifold depression, to
prevent excessive crankcase pressure or depression
developing.
