Intake Air System
Intake Air Bypass (lAB) Control System [818C1 enginel
Descriplion
Two air intake oaths are erovided in the intake manifold to allow the selection of the intake path most favofable for a given
engine speed.
Satjsfactory power performance is achieved by closing and opening the intake air bypass (lAB) control valves. High torque
at low RpM is acheived when the valves are closed, whereas high power at high RPM is achieved by when the valves are
opened.

With the engine at idle. check that @ of the IAB control valve is in close contact with the full-close screw when thevacuum hose is connected.
lf any tault is found, clean the linkage 8nd shafts with carburetor cleaner. lf the problem still exists after cleaning, dis-assemble the intake manifold and check the IAB valve body assembly.

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe headlights, heater blower,
rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-
er off.
NOTE: {Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.

Descriotion
This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable drivingconditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC p0420 willbe stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as DTC PO42O. troubleshoot those DTCS tirst. thentroubleshoot DTC P0420.

. Exhaust system leakage
Troubleshooting Flowchart
Problem verification:1. Do the ECM Reset Procedure.2. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,3. Connect the SCS service con,
4. Test drive 40 - 55 mph (64 -
88 km/h) for approx. two min-utes, Then decelerate Ior atleast 3 seconds with the throttle completely closed. Thenreduce the vehicle speed to35 mph (56 km/h), and try tohold it until the readinesscode comes on.

Emission Gontrol System
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger. When the engine starts. the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in orooonion to intake manifold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.

2.At idie, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between PCV valve and
intake manilold in lightly pinched with your fingers
or plters.
lf there is no clicking sound, check the PCV valve
grommet for cracks and damage. lf the grommet is
OK, reolace the PCV valve and recheck.
Gently pinch here.
