STARTING ENGINE
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE ABOVE 154"F (68'C)
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
Description:
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the following components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Control Canister
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the luel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the enqine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge ConirolSystem
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a pon
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
C. Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow ot fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
