Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR)
Operation
The EGR system is only fitted to vehicles in NAS
markets and comprises the following
components:
¥ EGR vacuum regulator valve
¥ EGR valve
¥ differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
¥ exhaust gas feedback pipe with internal
orifice
Exhaust gas is re-circulated back to the engine
intake in proportion to a measured pressure
differential in the feedback pipe. The amount of
gas re-circulated varies primarily with engine
speed and load but is also modified by the EMS to
allow for other factors, eg coolant temperature,
and also to achieve optimum emissions and fuel
economy.
The re-circulated exhaust gas is taken from the A
bank exhaust manifold and fed into the engine via
the EGR valve. The feedback pipe contains an
internal tube with a small diameter orifice that
creates a pressure differential in the feedback
pipe. Two small pipes, connected to the feedbackpipe each side of the orifice, transmit the pressure
differential to the differential pressure feedback
EGR sensor.
The sensor consists of a transducer (a vacuum
operated variable capacitor) and a processing
circuit which convert the input pressure/vacuum
value to a corresponding analogue voltage which is
sent to the PCM. The differential pressure feedback
EGR sensor has a linear response and the
variations in exhaust pressure produce outputs in
the approximate range 1V- 3.5V dc.
The EGR vacuum regulator valve and the EGR
valve comprise the actuating components of the
control loop. The EGR vacuum regulator valve has
a vacuum input from the manifold distribution
pipes, a vacuum output to the EGR valve and
receives a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal
from the PCM. The PWM signal switches the
vacuum control output to the EGR valve according
to input demand from the differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor or in response to override
conditions determined by the engine management
system. The EGR valve is a vacuum operated

Fuel System
Returnless Fuel System
The returnless fuel system is a one way system
which delivers fuel to the engine without the
requirement for fuel to be returned to the tank.
When a return line is used, the effects of fuel
pressurisation, de-pressurisation and engine heat
on the returning fuel causes extra vapour to be
generated in the tank. With increasing regulatory
controls on evaporative emissions, this is an
undesirable condition and elimination of a fuel
return line provides significant benefits.
The in-tank fuel pump supplies fuel and regulates
pressure to the injectors under control of the PCM
and the rear electronic module (REM) and a
pressure regulator is not therefore required on the
engine fuel rail. To provide feedback for closed
loop control, an injector pressure (IP) sensor on
the fuel rail detects the pressure differentialbetween the fuel and the intake manifold and the
engine fuel temperature (EFT) sensor monitors
fuel temperature. Analogue signals from both
sensors are sent to the PCM to indicate the
pressure of the fuel and to detect whether it has
reached the vapourisation point. In response to
the sensor inputs and driver or load demands, the
PCM requests the pump system to vary the fuel
flow; in particular, fuel pressure will always be
increased to avoid vapour formation and to
maintain flow through the injectors.
Fuel pump control is further described in the
ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ Technical Guide.
Fuel Rail and Lower Intake Manifold
The fuel injectors are seated in two lower intake
manifolds, made of a lightweight plastic
composite material, which are fitted between the

Engine Management Sensors
The configuration of the AJ28 engine management sensors is changed from the previous V8 variants:
¥ New components unique to AJ28 engine are the MAF sensor and engine fuel temperature (EFT)
sensor.
¥ Components in common with the V6 engine are the IAT sensor, KS sensors, injector pressure (IP)
sensor, engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and HO2 sensors.
¥ The crankshaft (CKP) and camshaft (CMP) sensors are the same as those fitted to the AJ27 engine.
Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensors
Upstream and dowmstream HO2 sensors are
fitted and are of the type used on the V6 engine
(the linear type sensor is not used).

Fuel Injection
Returnless Fuel System
The function and operation of the returnless fuel
system is the same as that fitted to the V6 engine
but with different fuel pipework to suit the V8
layout. The air assisted, top fed, fuel injectors are
supplied from two separate rails joined by an
interconnecting cross-over pipe (similar to AJ27)
with a single common feed from the fuel tank.
The fuel rail assembly is removeable. An engine
fuel temperature (EFT) sensor and injector
pressure (IP) sensor provide feedback to the PCM
to control the fuel pump flow rate (see ÔS-TYPE
IntroductionÕ Technical Guide). Note that the EFT
sensor is not in direct contact with the fuel (ÔdryÕ
type sonser).
