TE: When performing electrical voltag
e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.

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 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.

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
