1 Check fuel pump operation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove side trim cover (See page SF−61).
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
(a) Connect between terminal FC of ECM and body ground.
(b) Check for fuel pressure in the inlet hose when it is pinched
off.
OK:
There is pressure in the inlet hose.
HINT:
At this time, you will hear a fuel flowing noise.
OK Check for starter signal circuit (See page
DI−105).

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
PURPOSE
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of HC, CO and NOx exhausted from the
engine ((3), (4) and (5)), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow−by gas−containing HC (1) and evapo-
rated fuel containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in the following table.
SystemAbbreviationFunction
(1) Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(2) Evaporative Emission Control
(3) Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(4) Three−Way Catalytic Converter
(5) Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection*PCV

INSPECTION
1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK
Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
4. DISCONNECT EVAP HOSES FROM CHARCOAL CAN-
ISTER
5. VISUALLY INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
Look for cracks or damage.
6. CHECK FOR CLOGGED FILTER, AND STUCK CHECK
VALVE AND DIAPHRAGM
(a) Install a plug to port E.
(b) While holding port B closed, blow air (1.76 kPa, 18
gf/cm
2, 0.26 psi) into port A and check that air flows from
port D.
(c) While holding port B and port D closed, blow air (1.76 kPa,
18 gf/cm
2, 0.26 psi) into port A and check that air does not
flow from port C.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations,
troubleshoot in the order given below.
(a) Check the oxygen sensor operation (See page DI−42).
(b) See the table below for possible causes, then inspect and
correct the applicable causes if necessary.
