PGM-FI Sy3tem
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel lniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory. is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Ai. Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on. the transmission is in gear (Ay'T only)the brake pedal is depressed, the
P/S load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
. The ECM contains memories for basic ignition timing atvarious engine speeds and manifold pressures, lgnitiontiming
is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. AKnockControl System isadoptedwhich sets the ideal ignition timing for the octane n um ber of gasoline used*r,
Other Control Functions
L Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM provides a rich mi{ure by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel PumD Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies
current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies current to the fuel
DUmO.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on. the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which cuts
current to the fuel oumo.

After the engine stans, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount ol air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

When the idle speed is out of specification and the scan tool does not indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505
or P'1508, check the following items:. Adiust the idle speed (see page '11-111)
' ALT FR signal (see page 11-101). Air conditioning signal {seepage'11-102)' Brake switch signal (seepagell-104)
. Starter switch signal (see page 11-1051. A,4 gear position signal (see page 1l 106) (A"/T)
. PSP switch signal (see page 11-108) (USA)
. Fast idle thermo valve (see page 11-110). Hoses and connections. IAC valve and its mounting O rings
ll the above items are normal, substitute a known-good IAC valve and readjust the idle speed (see page 'l I -1 1 l).
lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or P1508) after
IAC valve replacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf symptom goes away, replace the original ECM.

Fuel Injector (cont'dlFuel Pressure Regulator
Description
The fuel pressure regulator maintains a constant fuel
pressure to the fuel injectors. When the difference
between the fuel pressure and manifold pressure
exceeds 3.0 kgf/cm' (294 kPa,43 psi) IB18C'1,818c5

Insert the injectors into the fuel rail first.
Coat new seal rings with clean engine oil, and press
them into rhe intake manifold.
To prevent damage to the O-rings, install the luel

Install and tighten the retainer nuts.
Connect the vacuum hose and fuel return hose to
the fuel pressure regulator.
lnstall the connectors on the fuel injectors.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). but do not operate
the starter. After the fuel pump runs for approxi'
mately two seconds, the fuel pressure in the fuel
line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check
whether there is any fuel leakage.
