1998 JAGUAR X308 evaporative

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.

Description an
d Operation

To reduce the emission of fuel vapour, th e fuel tank is vented to atmosphere through activated charcoal adsorption canister
(s) which collects the fuel droplets. The ch arcoal is periodically purged of fuel when the EVAP Canister Purge Valve opens
the vapour line between the canister(s) and the air intake induct ion elbow. This action allows manifold depression to draw
air through the canister atmospheric vent, taking up the deposited fuel from the charcoal adsorber and burning the resulting
fuel vapour in the engine.
The EVAP Canister Purge Valve is controlled by the engine management system ECM. Purging is carried out in accordance
with the engine management fu eling strategy (see below).
The fuel tank vapour outlet is via a removeable flange assemb ly on the top surface of the tank. The vapour storage canister
or canisters are fitted on the underside of the vehicle below the rear seats.
There are three variants of the evaporativ e system. All systems use the charcoal adsorber storage canisters and purge valve
and operate as described above. The specific features of each system are described below. The evaporative systems are
designated as :

The E
VAP canister purge valve controls th
e flow rate of fuel vapour drawn into the engine during the canister purge
operation. The valve is opened by a vacu um feed from the induction elbow : the vacu um feed is controlled by the integral
valve solenoid and is applied when the so lenoid is energised. The solenoid is pulsed on (energised) and off by a fixed
frequency (100Hz) variable pulse width control signal (pulse width modulation). By varying the pulse on to off time, the
ECM controls the duty cycle of the valve (time that the valve is open to time closed) and thus the vapour flow rate to the
engine.
With no ECM signal applied to the va lve solenoid, the valve remains closed.
Can
ister Purge Operation
The
following pre-conditions are ne
cessary for purging to commence :
aft
er battery disconnection/reconnection, engine
management adaptations must be re-instated.
engine has run for
at least 8 seconds.
engi

ne coolant temperature is not less than 70 °C.
engine

not running in the fuel
cut off condition (eg overrun).
t
he adaptive fuel correction
function has not registered a rich or lean failure
t
he evaporative emission leak test has not failed
no faults have been diagnosted in th
e rel
evant sensor and valve circuits -
Air Flow Meter (AFM), Engine Coolant
Temperature sensor, Evaporativ e Canister Purge valve and Canister Close Valve (CCV).
If these conditions have been satisfied, purging is started. If any failures are registered, purging is inhibited.
The canister(s) is purged during each driv e cycle at various rates in accordance with the prevailing engine conditions. The
engine management software st ores a map of engine speed (RPM) against engine load (grams of air inducted / rev). For
any given engine speed and load, a vapour purge rate is assigned (purge rate increases with engine speed and load).
The preset purge rates are base d on the assumption of a vapour concentratio n of 100%. The actual amount of vapour is
measured by the closed loop fueling system : the input of evaporative fuel into the engine causes the outputs from the
upstream oxygen sensors to change, the am ount of change providing a measure of the vapour concentration. This feedback
causes the original purge rate to be adju sted and also reduces the amount of fuel input via the injectors to maintain the
correct air to fuel ratio.
Engine speed/load mapping and the corresp onding purge rates are different for single canister, running loss and ORVR
evaporative systems.

Thi s
system uses a single charcoal canister with a pressure
control valve between the canister and the fuel tank vapour
outlet. A vacuum control pipe is connecte d from the engine intake induction elbow to the pressure control valve. The vapour
outlet from the fuel tank is taken via a safety rollover valve fitted to the re moveable flange at the top of the tank.
With the engine stopped, the pressure control valve is closed, maintaining a slight positive pre ssure in the tank : any further
increase in pressure causes the valve to open and release vapour to the canister.
When the engine is running, manifold depr ession (via the vacuum control pipe) holds the pressure control valve open. Air is
drawn into the tank to maintain atmospheric pressure as fuel is used and vapourised fuel is deposited in the charcoal
canister.
Canister purge operation is as described in Evaporative Emissions Control.

Evaporative Flang
e Assembly

The ru nning loss
system has the following features :
a
normall
y open pressure control valve is fi
tted at the lefthand side of the tank.
two charcoal
canisters are connected in series to reduce th
e concentration of fuel in vapour vented to atmosphere.
a t
ank pressure sensor and canister close
valve are fitted to allow the on-board di agnostic facility to test for leaks in
the fuel and evaporative system.
The pressure control valve allows continuo us venting of vapour to the charcoal canisters during normal running but prevents
fuel entering the vent line duri ng refueling. Fuel vapour from the tank passes through the valve to the lefthand canister and
a third pipe connects the valve to the fill er neck. When refueling, the difference in pressure betw een the tank interior and
the open filler neck causes the valve to cl ose, shutting off the vapour vent line. Wh en the fuel cap is replaced, the pressures
are equalised and the pressure control valve opens the vent line to the canisters.
The canister close valve is a solenoid operated device controlled by the ECM. The valve is normally open and is closed only
during the leak test sequence.
The fuel pressure sensor is fitted to th e evaporative loss flange and provides a volt age to the ECM which is proportional to
