ENGINE FUEL
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only unleaded
gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be used for proper
emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and extend
engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can damage the
emission control system and could result in loss of
emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission
Control System. The purpose of the system is to minimize
the escape of fuel vapors to the atmosphere.
Fuel Metering
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is in complete control
of this fuel delivery system during normal driving
conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is used
only to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected by
separate injectors that are mounted over the intake
manifold.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure which result
from engine load and speed changes, which the MAP
sensor converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change
corresponding to the flow of the air drawn into the engine.
The changing voltage is transformed into an electric
signal and provided to the ECM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the MAP sensor,
Intake Air Temperature sensor and others, the ECM
determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width
feeding such information to the fuel injector valves to
effect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection
system where the injectors turn on at every crankshaft
re vol u tion . Th e EC M con tro ls t he in je cto r on tim e so t ha t
the correct amount of fuel is metered depending on
driving conditions.
Two interchangeable “O” rings are used on the injector
that must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold
and supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the
engine is running. This removes air and vapors from the
fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during hot weather
operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the fuel
rail maintains a pressure differential across the injectors
under all operating conditions. It is accomplished by
controlling the amount of fuel that is recirculated back to
the fuel tank based on engine demand.
See Section “Driveability and Emission” for more
information and diagnosis.

9. Disconnect fuel feed tube and fuel return tube(6).
NOTE: Handling of the fuel tube, be sure to refer “Fuel
Tube/Quick–Connect Fittings” in this section.
10. Remove fuel tank fixing bolts on both sides and
remove fuel tank(7).
Installation
1. Install fuel tank(7).
Place a flange on right side of tank on the bracket.
Install a flange on left side on the bracket from the
bottom, and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Torque: 36 Nꞏm (3.7 Kgꞏm/27 lb ft)
2. Connect fuel feed tube and fuel return tube(6).
3. Connect evapo fuel hose(5).
4. Connect fuel tank wiring connector(4).
5. Install undercover(3).
6. Connect fuel filler hose, air breather hose and evapo
hose(2).
7. Install fender liner(1).
Mount fender liner to the wheel well.
Fill the tank with fuel and tighten fuel filler cap.
Connect battery ground cable.

Precautions
Lighting of Fires Prohibited.
Keep flames away from your work area to prevent the
inflammable from catching fire.
Disconnect the battery negative cable to prevent
shorting during work.
When welding or conducting other heat-generating
work on other parts, be sure to provide pretreatment
to protect the piping system from thermal damage or
spattering.
Cautions During Work
Do not expose the assembly to battery electrolyte or do
not wipe the assembly with a cloth used to wipe off spilt
battery electorolyte.
The piping wet with battery electrolyte cannot be used.
Be careful not to give a bending or twisting force to the
piping during the work. If deformed, replace with a new
piping.
Removal
1. Open the fuel cap to relieve the fuel pressure in the
tank.
If the fuel quick-connect fittings are dusty, clean with
an air blower, etc. and then remove it.
141RW016As some pressure may remain in the piping, cover the
connector with a cloth, etc. to prevent the splashing
of fuel in the first disconnection of the piping.
