ntake Air Distribution and Filtering - Normally Aspirated Vehicles
Air Intake Asse
mbly

The air cleaner assembly consists of a two piece box containing the air filter, an airflow/temperature unit and the air intake
duct which connects to the top of the throttle assembly. The en gine full load breather feeds into the intake duct from the
bank 1 camshaft cover. A tuned stub on the ai r intake duct reduces the intake noise level.
Mass Air Flow and Temperature Sensors

The intake air is monitored by the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor assembly which is fitted at the outlet of the air filter
assembly. Two sensors are incorporated in the MAF sensor assembly, measuring air flow and temperature (temperature
sensor arrowed); both sensors provide anal ogue signal inputs to the engine control module (ECM) and are further described
in Section 303-14.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to renew or adjust the throttle cable without consulting the relevant procedure. Two
procedures apply: reconnection of an original cable (19.70.04) or the fitting of a new cable (19.20.06).
The filtered air from the intake duct is drawn downwards through the throttle body to the intake elbow on which the throttle
body is mounted. The airflow through the throttle body is vari ed by the electrically operated throttle valve according to
driver demand and engine mana gement system requirements.
The throttle body assembly has the following features:
Con
vential cable operated input shaft connected to the accelerator pedal.
M

echanical guard to limit throttle angl
e should driver demand exceed ECM co ntrolled parameters and a mechanical
back-up in the event of a throttle motor failure.
Vacuum actuator for operation of the mech anical guard in cru
ise control mode.
Thr

ottle valve (blade) to regula
te air flow into the engine.
Thermostatic air valve to allow and con
t
rol air by-pass around the throttle.
D
C electric motor to operate the thro
ttle in response to ECM control.
Three
sensors (accelerator pedal, mechan
ical guard and the throttle valve) to relay positional information about the
input shaft to the ECM.
R
eturn and control springs fitted to th
e input shaft, mechanical guard, thro ttle valve and dc motor drive gear.

3. 3. Mechanica l

4. 4. Fixed idle
5. 5. Redundancy
6. 6. Full authority
7. 7. Engine shut-down
Normal mode occurs when the EC M uses the mechanical and monitoring arrangem ent of the throttle valve to control throttle
opening. The ECM does not permit driver demand to be exceeded but it can be restricted to allow for such features as
stability / traction control, or engine power limitation.
The ECM determines engine idle speed by controlling the throttle valve motor to vary the blade angle between the non-
adjustable preset limits of the mechanic al guard and the throttle valve motor.
Cruise mode is engaged as a result of the ECM calculating and controlling the required throttle valve opening via the
vacuum system. When the driver releases the throttle pedal, the input shaft disengages from the mechanical guard or the
vacuum actuator pulls the guard away from th e throttle valve. The throttle pedal will feel light should it be pushed again to
accelerate (pressing the pedal further will re-engage the input shaft with the mechanical guard and restore normal feel).
The ECM utilizes sensors to monitor the relative positions of the mechanical guard and throttle valve and adjusts them to
maintain the set cruise speed.
Mechanical guard mode permits full mechanical operation of the throttle if the ECM detects that a problem has been
encountered with the throttle valve position sensor, dc motor, associated harnesses / connecto rs or the ECM.
Fixed idle mode occurs when any two of the three sensors (two input shaft sensors and the mechanical guard sensor) fail.
The ECM will assume values which represent a blade angl e of approximately 2,5° and 1200 rpm (unloaded) maximum
engine speed.
Redundancy mode occurs when any one of the three sensors (two input shaft sensors and the mechanical guard sensor)
fails. The operational pair will be deemed to be safe to co ntinue without intervention, but cruise will be inhibited.
Full authority mode is invoked when a mech anical guard failure occurs which indicates that the guard is stuck fully open.
The red warning lamp will be lit and road speed will be li mited to 120 kph.
Engine shut-down mode will occur followin g multiple failures, such as mechanical guard mode following full authority mode
(or vice versa) or the throttle blade sticks.
Intake Elbow

The intake elbow directs the metered airflow from the electronic throttle to the intake manifold. Stub pipes on both sides of

the
intake elbow provide connections for vacuum actuators and are also used to redirect emissions into the engine.
On the right-hand side of the elbow a la rge diameter pipe connects to the brake servo. The smaller pipe provides a vacuum
feed to the fuel rail pressure regulator and throttle cruise control system. On the le ft-hand side of the elbow the front pipe
supplies vacuum control for the evaporative emissions system valves.
Emissions from the engine part load breather (bank 2) and pu rged fuel vapor from the EVAP valve are drawn via a common
T piece into the left-hand side of the intake elbow. Re-cir culated exhaust gas enters the intake elbow via the EGR valve
which is mounted directly on the rear of the elbow : where the EGR system is not used, a blanking plate is fitted.
The fuel system, throttle and emission control system s are described more fully in the relevant sections.
Intake Manifold

Filtered air from the vehicle's intake ducting is metered by th e electronic throttle and distributed to the two cylinder banks
via an integral intake manifold.
The intake manifold is manufactured in plastic with integral plastic fuel rails and metal-thread inserts; the very smooth
internal surfaces give excellent air flow.
Individual ducts lead off a central chamber to the inlet valves of each cylinder.
Silicon-rubber gaskets, loca ted in channels in the intake manifold, seal th e joints between the ducts and the cylinder heads.
Engine Ventilation

The e
ngine is ventilated through two brea
thers; a part-load breather and a full-load breather, one on each camshaft cover.
The outlet hose for the part-load breather is connected between the bank 2 camshaft cover and the intake elbow. The full-
load outlet hose is connected from the bank 1 camshaft cover to the intake duct between the MAF sensor assembly and the
throttle body.
Constructed in plastic, the hoses incorporate O-ring seal s and quick-release connectors; refer to Section 303-01.
I
ntake Air Distribution and Filtering - Supercharged Vehicles
Ai
r is supplied to the supercharger via an
intake cleaner/duct, throttle assembly and intake elbow which are similar to those
used for normally aspirated engines. The su percharger delivers pressurized air to two separate charge air cooler units, each
unit being mounted on the cy linder bank which it supplies. Pr essurized cooled air is fed from the charge air coolers directly
into each inlet port.

The air cleaner assembl y
consists of a tw
o piece box containing the ai r filter, an airflow/temperature unit (MAF sensor) and
the air intake duct which connects to the top of the throttle assembly. The engine full load breather feeds into the intake
duct from the bank 1 camshaft cover. Two tuned stubs on the air intake duct reduce the intake noise level.
Temperature Sensor

A second intake air temperature sensor (IAT sensor 2) is fitted at the outlet of the bank 1 charge air cooler. The sensor
provides an input to the ECM.
Air Intake Asse mbly

The intake elbow di
rects the metered airflow from the electronic throttle outlet (und
erside of the throttle body) into the
intake of the supercharger.
The supercharger by-pass valve assembly is bolted to the intake elbow. The butterfly valve inside the assembly is opened
by a diaphragm actuator operated by vacu um feed from the elbow. At closed or partially open throttle positions, the
butterfly valve opens, allowing th e airflow from the two charge air cooler inlets to be directed back to the supercharger inlet .
This action inhibits the supercharging e ffect and reduces engine torque to non supercharged levels. Progressive opening of
the throttle causes the by-pass valve to gradually close.
On the right-hand side of the elbow a la rge diameter pipe connects to the brake servo. On the left-hand side the smaller
pipe supplies vacuum control for the evaporative emissions system valves.
Emissions from the engine part load breather (bank 1) and pu rged fuel vapor from the EVAP valve are drawn via a common
T piece into the left-hand side of the intake elbow. Re-cir culated exhaust gas enters the intake elbow via the EGR valve
which is mounted directly on the rear of the elbow. Where the EGR system is not used, a blanking plate is fitted.
The fuel system and emission control systems are described more fully in the relevant sections.
