These 3 orifices are opened and closed by electric solenoids. The
solenoids are, in turn, controlled by the Electronic Control Module
(ECM). When a solenoid is energized, the armature with attached shaft
and swivel pintle is lifted, opening the orifice. See Fig. 11.
The ECM uses inputs from the Coolant Temperature Sensor
(CTS), Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and Mass Airflow (MAF) senso\
rs
to control the EGR orifices to make 7 different combinations for
precise EGR flow control. At idle, the EGR valve allows a very small
amount of exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold. This EGR valve
normally operates above idle speed during warm engine operation.
Verify EGR valve is present and not modified or purposely
damaged. Ensure thermal vacuum switches, pressure transducers, speed
switches, etc., (if applicable) are not by-passed or modified. Ensure
vacuum hose(s) to EGR valve is not plugged. Ensure electrical
connector to EGR valve is not disconnected.

Integrated Electronic EGR Valve
This type functions similar to a ported EGR valve with a

remote vacuum regulator. The internal solenoid is normally open, which
causes the vacuum signal to be vented off to the atmosphere when EGR
is not controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The solenoid\
valve opens and closes the vacuum signal, controlling the amount of
vacuum applied to the diaphragm. See Fig. 12.
The electronic EGR valve contains a voltage regulator, which
converts ECM signal and regulates current to the solenoid. The ECM
controls EGR flow with a pulse width modulated signal based on
airflow, TPS and RPM. This system also contains a pintle position
sensor, which works similarly to a TPS sensor. As EGR flow is
increased, the sensor output increases.
Verify EGR valve is present and not modified or purposely
damaged. Ensure thermal vacuum switches, pressure transducers, speed
switches, etc., (if applicable) are not by-passed or modified. Ensure
electrical connector to EGR valve is not disconnected.

SPARK CONTROLS (SPK)

Spark control systems are designed to ensure the air/fuel
mixture is ignited at the best possible moment to provide optimum
efficiency and power and cleaner emissions.
Ensure vacuum hoses to the distributor, carburetor, spark
delay valves, thermal vacuum switches, etc., are in place and routed
properly. On Computerized Engine Controls (CEC), check for presence of\
required sensors (O2, MAP, CTS, TPS, etc.). Ensure they have not been
tampered with or modified.
Check for visible modification or replacement of the feedback
carburetor, fuel injection unit or injector(s) with a non-feedback
carburetor or fuel injection system. Check for modified emission-
related components unacceptable for use on pollution-controlled
vehicles.
AIR INJECTION SYSTEM (AIS)
Air Pump Injection System (AP)
The air pump is a belt-driven vane type pump, mounted to
engine in combination with other accessories. The air pump itself
consists of the pump housing, an inner air cavity, a rotor and a vane
assembly. As the vanes turn in the housing, filtered air is drawn in
through the intake port and pushed out through the exhaust port. See
Fig. 13 .
Check for missing or disconnected belt, check valve(s),
diverter valve(s), air distribution manifolds, etc. Check air
injection system for proper hose routing.

Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) System
PAIR eliminates the need for an air pump and most of the
associated hardware. Most systems consists of air delivery pipe(s),
pulse valve(s) and check valve(s). The check valve prevents exhaust
gases from entering the air injection system. See Fig. 14.
Ensure required check valve(s), diverter valve(s), air
distribution manifolds, etc., are present. Check air injection system
for proper hose routing.

OXYGEN SENSOR (O2)
The O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust system where it
monitors oxygen content of exhaust gases. Some vehicles may use 2 O2
sensors. The O2 sensor produces a voltage signal which is proportional
to exhaust gas oxygen concentration (0-3%) compared to outside oxygen
(20-21%). This voltage signal is low (about .1 volt) when a lean
mixture is present and high (1.0 volt) when a rich mixture is present.\
As ECM compensates for a lean or rich condition, this voltage
signal constantly fluctuates between high and low, crossing a
reference voltage supplied by the ECM on the O2 signal line. This is
referred to as cross counts. A problem in the O2 sensor circuit should
set a related trouble code.
COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS (CEC)
The CEC system monitors and controls a variety of
engine/vehicle functions. The CEC system is primarily an emission
control system designed to maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio under most
operating conditions. When the ideal air/fuel ratio is maintained, the
catalytic converter can control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbon
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
The CEC system consists of the following sub-systems:
Electronic Control Module (ECM), input devices (sensors and switches)\
and output signals.
