ldle Control System
System Description
The idle speed ot the engine is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve.The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled bv theECM/PCM. When the IAC Valve is activated, the valve opens lo maintain the proper idle speed.

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Precautions
!@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
system, Keep open flames away from your work a.ea'
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connects
the in tank fuel pump with the fuel feed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is neces-
sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to lollowing:
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during
welding or other heat-generating procedures
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fitlings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/
quick connect liltings assembly, be careful not to
bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnecled,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused
once it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the
retatner wnen
. Replacing the fuel pump.
. Replacing the fuel leed pipe.
. lt has been removed lrom the PiPe.. lt is damaged.

Disconnestion
!@ Do not smoke while working on the luel
system. Keep open llames away lrom youl work area.
1. Relieve fuel pressure (see pages 11'230,2311.
2. Check the tuel quick-connect tittings for dirt, and
clean if necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
o Be carelul not to damage the pipe or other pans
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
. Do not remove the retainer from the pape; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

The scan tool indicates Dlagnostic Trouble cod€ {DTc} Po4ol: lnsufficient flow in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) svstem.
Doscription
Deterioration (clogging, leakage, etc.) in the EGR line or EGR valve is detected by means of the changes in MAP before
and after the operation of the EGR valve.
lf deterioration has been detected during two cons€cutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on and DTC P0401 will be
stored.
Po$ible Causeg
. Clogging. leakage in the EGR line
. Faulty EGR valve
