DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Air intake
The air cleaner is positioned to the right of the engine
and connected by hoses to a cold air intake duct and
the turbocharger inlet. A crankcase breather hose is
fitted between the air cleaner and the separator.
A single stage turbocharger, fitted between the
exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe, is connected by
hoses to the air cleaner and to an intercooler mounted
on the right of the radiator. The intercooler is
connected by a hose to the inlet manifold.
Fuel system
A 89 litre fuel tank is mounted at the rear of the
vehicle beneath the load space floor. The tank is
vented by a 2 way valve in the filler cap.
A mechanical lift pump, driven by the camshaft, is
mounted on the side of the engine.
A fuel filter, fitted with a replaceable element and
incorporating a water separator, is positioned on the
LH side of the bulkhead.
A Bosch Type injection pump, incorporating a cold
start advance unit and a high idle setting is mounted
on the LH side of the engine and is directly driven by
gears from the crankshaft. The pump meters and
distributes fuel to 4 pintle type injectors located in
pre-combustion chambers in the cylinder heads.
A return line passes excess fuel from the injection
pump and injectors back to the fuel tank.
Glow plugs
Four glow plugs are located in the cylinder head,
directly below each injector.Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Exhaust gas recirculation is controlled by the EGR
control unit mounted in the passenger compartment
on the RH 'A' post behind the fascia and receives the
following inputs:
a. Engine temperature from coolant temperature
transmitter in No. 4 cylinder head.
b. Throttle position from the sensor on the injection
pump.
c. Engine speed from the tachometer.
d. EGR valve lift position.
When all correct signals are received, the EGR
solenoid allows vacuum to open the EGR valve and
recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Operation of the EGR system is dependent on the
following:
a. Engine temperature - must be between 20°C
and 100°C approx.
b. Engine speed - must be between 630 and 2850
rev/min.
c. Engine load - calculated by throttle position
sensor.
d. EGR valve lift position.
e. Duration of engine idling.
Under varying engine speed and load conditions the
control unit sends a signal to open the vacuum
modulator which allows a vacuum to be applied above
the EGR valve diaphragm, the vacuum supply being
taken from a 'T' connector in the brake servo hose.
This process is controlled by an engine speed/load
map stored in the EGR control unit memory.
Engine speed is measured by monitoring the
waveform present on one phase of the generator.
Throttle position is measured via a sensor mounted on
the fuel injection pump throttle lever. Closed loop
control is achieved by allowing the control unit to
continually monitor EGR valve lift via a position sensor
mounted on the valve; this valve lift is compared with
the actual valve lift required on the control unit map
and adjusted if necessary.
With coolant temperature between 20°C and 100°C;
the engine having just returned to idle, EGR will shut
off after 25-30 seconds idling.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transfer
box behind the transmission brake. The unit has a
multirole as the vehicle electronic speedometer
sensor and as a sensor for 'surge damping', (a
function which smooths out engine response to sharp
accelerator movement and reduces vehicle 'bucking').
The sensor is an additional input for engine overheat
protection.
Brake and clutch switches
The brake and clutch switches are located on the
pedal box and serve as safety features to the system.
They return information to the ECM which limits
maximum fuel quantity under braking.
Throttle position sensor
The accelerator pedal is connected directly to a
sensor mounted in the pedal box. Driver demand is
relayed back to the ECM to increase or decrease
injected fuel quantity.
Incorporated in the sensor is a backup idle switch
which the system will default to in the event of sensor
failure.
Boost pressure sensor
The boost pressure sensor is mounted on the
bulkhead. It relays boost pressure information to the
ECM which compensates fuel quantity to reduce
smoke during acceleration.
Electro-pneumatic modulator
The electro-pneumatic modulator is located on the
inner wing just forward of the air cleaner. It regulates
vacuum signals from the source to the EGR valve.
The ECM controls the modulator to open the EGR
valve according to required airflow.Exhaust gas recirculation valve
The EGR valve is located on the engine exhaust
manifold and is controlled by vacuum from the
electro-pneumatic modulator.
Once open the EGR valve directs a quantity of
exhaust gas back into the inlet manifold to be burnt
inside the engine. This reduces NOx (Oxides of
nitrogen) emissions of the engine.
Temperature sensors
Water, Fuel and Air temperature sensors monitor
engine conditions and relay their information back to
the ECM which makes adjustments to injected fuel
quantity, injection timing, EGR and corrections to
measured boost pressure and airflow.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is mounted in the fuel rail
at the rear of the plenum chamber. The regulator is a
mechanical device controlled by plenum chamber
vacuum, it ensures that fuel rail pressure is
maintained at a constant pressure difference of 2.5
bar above that of the manifold.
When pressure exceeds the regulator setting excess
fuel is returned to the fuel tank.
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, and
is a self priming 'wet' pump, the motor is immersed in
the fuel within the tank.
Air flow sensor
The hot-wire air flow sensor is mounted on a bracket
attached to the left hand valance, rigidly connected to
the air cleaner and by hose to the plenum chamber
inlet neck.
The air flow sensor consists of a cast alloy body
through which air flows. A proportion of this air flows
through a bypass in which two wire elements are
situated: one is a sensing wire and the other is a
compensating wire. Under the control of an electronic
module which is mounted on the air flow sensor body,
a small current is passed through the sensing wire to
produce a heating effect. The compensating wire is
also connected to the module but is not heated, but
reacts to the temperature of the air taken in, as engine
intake air passes over the wires a cooling effect takes
place.
The electronic module monitors the reaction of the
wires in proportion to the air stream and provides
output signals in proportion to the air mass flow rate
which are compatible with the requirements of the
ECM.Throttle position sensor
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the side of
the plenum chamber inlet neck and is directly coupled
to the throttle butterfly shaft.
The throttle position sensor is a resistive device
supplied with a voltage from the ECM. Movement of
the accelerator pedal causes the throttle valve to
open, thus rotating the wiper arm within the throttle
position sensor which in turn varies the resistance in
proportion to the valve position. The ECM lengthens
the injector open time when it detects a change in
output voltage (rising) from the throttle position
sensor.
In addition the ECM will weaken the mixture when it
detects the throttle position sensor output voltage is
decreasing under deceleration and will shorten the
length of time the injectors are open.
When the throttle is fully open, the ECM will detect the
corresponding throttle position sensor voltage and will
apply full load enrichment. This is a fixed percentage
and is independent of temperature. Full load
enrichment is also achieved by adjusting the length of
the injector open time.
When the throttle is closed, overrun fuel cut off or idle
speed control may be facilitated dependant on other
inputs to the ECM.
The throttle position sensor is 'self adaptive', which
means that adjustment is not possible. It also means
the throttle position sensor setting is not lost, for
example, when throttle stop wear occurs.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust throttle
position sensor.

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 Basic ignition timing
MEMS provides the optimum ignition timing for the
relevant engine speed and load. The speed and
position of the engine is detected by the crankshaft
sensor which is bolted to, and projects through the
engine adapter plate.
The sensor incorporates an armature which runs
adjacent to a reluctor insert in the flywheel, the insert
consisting of 34 poles spaced at 10°intervals, with
two missing poles 180°apart to identify the T.D.C.
positions.
The sensor 'reads' these poles to provide a constant
up-date of engine speed and crankshaft position to
the ECM
The load signal is provided by the manifold absolute
pressure sensor mounted inside the ECM casing
which detects manifold pressure via a hose connected
to the manifold chamber. The sensor converts
pressure variations into graduated electrical signals
which can be read by the ECMIgnition timing compensation
Coolant temperature sensor
When the ECM receives a low engine temperature
signal from the coolant sensor, it provides optimum
driveability and emissions by advancing or retarding
the ignition timing.
Knock sensor
The knock sensor is a capacitive device mounted in
the cylinder block between nos. 2 and 3 cylinders
below the inlet manifold. The sensor monitors noise
and vibration in the engine and passes this
information to the ECM which is able to identify the
characteristics of the knocking and make the
necessary corrections to the ignition timing of
individual cylinders.
Idle speed control
When the throttle pedal is released and the engine is
at idle, the ECM uses the fast response of ignition
timing to assist idle speed control.
When loads are placed on, or removed from the
engine the ECM senses the change in engine speed
and in conjuction with the opening of the throttle disc
by the stepper motor, advances or retards the ignition
timing to maintain the specified idle speed. When load
is removed from the engine and the stepper motor
returns to it's original position, the ignition timing
returns to the idle setting.
NOTE: Due to the sensitivity of this system
the ignition timing will be constantly
changing at idle speed.
