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 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.

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.

The OR
VR system features are :
N

arrow fuel filler pipe and tank check valve.
Fue

l level vent valve (FLVV) fitted to the evaporative flan
ge and consisting of a two stage shut-off valve with rollover
protection and a pressure relief valve.
Grade ven
t valve with rollover protection, fitted to the ev
aporative flange and with an outlet pipe connected to the
FLVV vapour outlet pipe.
Large bore vapour vent pipes.

The fuel filler pipe has a reduced diameter between the nozzle guide and the tank, providing a liquid seal when re-fueling
and preventing the fuel vapour venting directly to atmosphere. There is no breather tube fitted between the tank and the
filler nozzle. To prevent spit back when re-fueling, a check valv e is fitted at the lower end of the filler pipe inside the tank
(see Figure).
During re-fueling, the tank is vented to atmosphere via the fuel level vent valv e (FLVV), large bore vapour pipes and the
charcoal canisters. The FLVV incorp orates a float valve which is closed by the rising fuel level, creating a back pressure and
causing the fuel delivery to stop. In the closed position, the FLVV also sets the fuel level.
With the FLVV closed (tank full), any increase in pressure or overfilling is relieved by a separate rollover protected grade
vent valve. The outlet from this valve feeds into the main FLVV vapour outlet pipe, bypassing the closed FLVV.
When the fuel level is below full, the FLVV opens to allow unrestricted venting via the canisters.
A pressure relief valve is incorp orated into the FLVV assembly and has an outlet pipe to the filler nozzle,. If a blockage or
other restriction (eg, canister close valve failing in the closed position) occurs in the vapour vent system, the pressure reli ef
valve opens to allow venting to atmosphere via the filler nozzle guide and fuel filler cap.
Canister purge operation is as described in Evaporative Emissions Control.
