ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) (C0641)
The IACV is located on the side of the air inlet pipe on top of the engine. The IACV is used to maintain good quality
idle speed under all operating conditions.
When an engine is running at idle it is subject to a combination of internal and external loads that can affect idle speed.
These loads include engine friction, water pump, alternator operation, and air conditioning.
The IACV acts as an air bypass valve. The ECM uses the IACV to enable the closed loop idle speed calculation to be
made by the ECM. This calculation regulates the amount of air flow into the engine at idle, therefore compensating
for any internal or external loads that may affect idle speed.
The IACV utilises two coils that use opposing PWM signals to control the position of opening/closing of a rotary valve.
If one of the circuits that supply the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining signal preventing the IACV
from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the IACV automatically resumes a default idle
position. In this condition, the engine idle speed is raised and maintained at 1200 rev/min with no load placed on the
engine.
The idle speed in cold start condition is held at 1200 rev/min in neutral for 20 seconds and ignition timing is retarded
as a catalyst heating strategy. The cold start idle speed and the default idle position give the same engine speed 1200
rev/min, and although they are the same figure they must not be confused with each other as they are set separately
by the ECM.
Note that the rotary valve must not be forced to move by mechanical means. The actuator can not be
serviced; if defective, the entire IACV must be replaced.
Input/Output
The input to the IACV is a 12 volt signal from fuse 2 located in the engine compartment fuse box. The output earth
signal to open and close the actuator is controlled by the ECM as follows:
lIACV (open signal) - via pin 42 of connector C0636 of the ECM
lIACV (closed signal) - via pin 43 of connector C0636 of the ECM
The IACV can fail the following ways or supply incorrect signal:
lActuator faulty.
lRotary valve seized.
lWiring loom fault.
lConnector fault.
lIntake system air leak.
lBlocked actuator port or hoses.
lRestricted or crimped actuator port or hoses.
In the event of an IACV signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEither low or high idle speed.
lEngine stalls.
lDifficult starting.
lIdle speed in default condition.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-45
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)/ service engine soon warning lamp
The MIL/ service engine soon warning lamp is located in the instrument cluster. It illuminates to alert the driver to
system malfunctions. Service engine soon warning lamp is the name for this warning lamp in NAS only, it is called
MIL in all other markets.
During ignition a self-test function of the lamp is carried out. The lamp will illuminate for 3 seconds then it will
extinguish if no faults exist.
+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Input/Output
The MIL is supplied with battery voltage from the instrument cluster. When the ECM detects a fault, it provides an
earth path to illuminate the MIL. Output to the MIL is via pin 20 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
Air Temperature Control (ATC) request
The ATC request comes via the ATC switch located in the facia panel. When the driver operates the switch it acts as
a request from the ATC ECU to engage the ATC clutch to drive the system.
During periods of high driver demand such as hard acceleration or maximum rev/min the ATC clutch will be disabled
for a short time. This is to reduce the load on the engine.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 19-2-7
Fuel pump
The fuel pump assembly comprises a top cover which locates the fuel pressure regulator, electrical connector and
fuel pipe coupling. The top cover is attached to a plastic cup shaped housing by two metal springs. The housing
locates the pump and the fuel gauge sender unit.
The lower part of the housing is the swirl pot, which maintains a constant fuel level at the fuel pick-up. A feed pipe
from the pump to the coupling connection and a return pipe from the regulator connect between the top cover and the
housing.
A coarse filter is attached to the base of the housing and prevents the ingress of large contaminants into the swirl pot.
A gauze filter prevents particles entering the fuel pump.
Surrounding the pump is a large fine paper filter element which further protects the fuel pressure regulator, engine
and injectors from particulate contamination. The paper filter is not a serviceable item and removes the requirement
for an external in-line filter.
A non-return valve is located in the base of the housing. When the fuel tank is full, fuel pressure keeps the valve lifted
from its seat allowing fuel to flow into the swirl pot. As the tank level reduces, the fuel pressure in the tank reduces
causing the valve to close. When the valve is closed fuel is retained in the swirl pot, ensuring that the swirl pot remains
full and maintains a constant supply to the fuel pump.
A four pin electrical connector is located on the top cover of the pump and provides power feed and return for fuel
pump and fuel gauge rotary potentiometer operation. A single quick release coupling connects the fuel feed pipe to
the outer top surface of the pump.
Two metal springs are attached to the top cover and the housing of the pump. When the pump is installed it seats on
the lower surface inside the tank. The springs exert a downward pressure on the pump and ensure that the pump is
located positively at the bottom of the fuel tank.
The fuel pump has a maximum current draw of 6.5 A at 12.5 V.
On NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability only, the fuel pump top cover is fitted with
an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) pressure sensor. This sensor has a three pin electrical connector which provides a
connection between the sensor and the ECM. The sensor is sealed in the top cover with an 'O' ring and secured with
a clip. The sensor monitors tank pressure during OBD tests of the fuel evaporation system integrity. A hose is
connected to the sensor and is routed across the top of the fuel tank and terminates at the top of the fuel filler tube.
The pipe is open to atmosphere and provides atmospheric pressure for the sensor operation.

management.
Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the underside of the top cover. The regulator is sealed with two 'O' rings and
retained with a clip.
The regulator is connected to the fuel feed pipe at the top of the pump housing and maintains the fuel pump delivery
pressure to 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in
2). When the fuel delivery pressure exceeds 3.5 bar (50 lbf.in2), the regulator opens and
relieves excess pressure back to the swirl pot via a return pipe. The regulator ensures that the fuel rails and injectors
are supplied with a constant pressure.
The fuel pump delivery pressure and pressure regulator operating pressure can be checked using a Schraeder type
valve located at the rear of the engine on the fuel rail. The valve allows the pump delivery pressure to be measured
using a suitable gauge and an adaptor and hose which are special tools.
CLUTCH - V8
33-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The clutch system is a conventional diaphragm type clutch operated by a hydraulic cylinder. The clutch requires no
adjustment to compensate for wear.
Hydraulic clutch
The hydraulic clutch comprises a master cylinder, slave cylinder and a hydraulic reservoir, which is also shared with
the braking system. The master and slave cylinders are connected to each other hydraulically by plastic and metal
pipes. The plastic section of the pipe allows ease of pipe routing and also absorbs engine movements and vibrations.
The master cylinder comprises a body with a central bore. Two ports in the body connect the bore to the hydraulic
feed pipe to the slave cylinder and the brake/clutch fluid reservoir. A piston is fitted in the bore and has an external
rod which is attached to the clutch pedal with a pin. Two coiled springs on the clutch pedal reduce the effort required
to depress the pedal.
The master cylinder is mounted on the bulkhead in the engine compartment and secured with two bolts. The cylinder
is connected to the shared brake/clutch reservoir on the brake servo by a braided connecting hose.
The slave cylinder is located on the left hand side of the gearbox housing and secured with two bolts. A heat shield
protects the underside of the cylinder from heat generated from the exhaust system. The slave cylinder comprises a
cylinder with a piston and a rod. A port in the cylinder body provides the attachment for the hydraulic feed pipe from
the master cylinder. A second port is fitted with a bleed nipple for removing air from the hydraulic system after
servicing. The piston rod locates on a clutch release lever located in the gearbox housing. The rod is positively
retained on the release lever with a clip.
Clutch mechanism
The clutch mechanism comprises a flywheel, drive plate, pressure plate, release lever and a release bearing. The
clutch mechanism is fully enclosed at the rear of the engine by the gearbox housing.
A clutch release bearing sleeve is attached in the gearbox housing with two bolts and located on two dowels. A spigot
with a ball end is formed on the release bearing sleeve and provides a mounting and pivot point for the clutch release
lever. A dished pivot washer is located on the ball of the spigot. When the release lever is located on the ball, the pivot
washer seats against the rear face of the release lever. A spring clip is located on the lever and the pivot washer and
secures the lever on the spigot. A small bolt retains the spring clip in position.
The release lever is forked at its inner end and locates on the clutch release bearing carrier. The outer end of the
release lever has a nylon seat which locates the slave cylinder piston rod. A second nylon seat, positioned centrally
on the release lever, locates on the ball spigot of the release bearing sleeve and allows the release lever to pivot freely
around the ball.
The clutch release bearing locates on the clutch release lever and the release bearing sleeve. The bearing is retained
on a carrier which has two flats to prevent the carrier rotating on the release lever. A clip retains the release lever on
the carrier. The bearing and carrier are not serviceable individually.
Flywheel
The flywheel is bolted to a flange on the rear of the crankshaft with six bolts. A dowel on the crankshaft flange ensures
that the flywheel is correctly located. A ring gear is fitted on the outside diameter of the flywheel and seats against a
flange. The ring gear is an interference fit on the flywheel and is installed by heating the ring and cooling the flywheel.
The ring gear is a serviceable item and can be replaced if damaged or worn.
The operating face of the flywheel is machined to provide a smooth surface for the drive plate to engage on. Three
dowels and six threaded holes provide for the location and attachment of the pressure plate. The flywheel is balanced
to ensure that it does not produce vibration when rotating. A machined slot, with a series of holes within the slot, is
located on the engine side of the flywheel. The slot accommodates the tip of the crankshaft position sensor which is
used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) for engine management.
