2000 HONDA CIVIC ECO mode

1.After the engine starts, the lAc valve opens for a certain time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is tow, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature'

Fuel Supply System
System Description
The fuel supply system consists of a fuel tank, in-tank
high pressure fuel pump, PGM-FI main relay, fuelfilter,
fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors. and fuel delivery
and return lines. This system delivers pressure-regu-
lated fuel to the fuel injectors and cuts the fuel delivery
when the engine is not running.
Fuel Pressure l'96 Modelsl
Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release pres-
sure from the system by loosening the 6 mm service
bolt on top of the fuel filter.
. Do not smoke whil6 working on the fuel system.
Kgsp opon flames or sparks away from youl work
area.
. Be sure to relieve fuel pressure while the ignition
switch is off.
1. Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset
buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the bat-
tery negative terminal.
3. Remove the fuelfill cap,
4. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at
the fuel filter while holding the special banjo bolt
with another wrench,
5. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.
6, Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete
rurn.
. A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm
service bolt hole.
. Always reDlace the washer between the service
bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the ser-
vice bolt is loosened.
. Replace all washers whenever the bolts are
removeo.

FUELPRESSUREGAUGE07406 - 00ir0(x)1
Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure with the
engine idling and the vacuum hose of the fuel pres-
sure regulator disconnected from the fuel pressure
regulator and pinched. lf the engine will not start,
turn the ignition switch ON (ll), wait for two sec-
onds, turn it off, then back on again and read the
fuel pressure.
Pr€3sure should bo:
260 - 310 kPa (2.7 - 3.2 kgt/cmr, 38 - 46 psi)
Reconnect vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator,
Pressure should bo:
200 - 25O kPa l2.O - 2.5 kgf/cm', 28 - 36 psil
lf the fuel pressure is not as specified, first check the
fuel pump {see page 11-2361. lf the fuel pump is OK,
check the following:
. lf the fuel pressure is higher than specified,
inspect for;- Pinched or clogged fuel return hose or line.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-234).. lf the fuel pressure is lower than specified, inspect
for:- Clogged fuelfilter.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator {see page 11-234).- Fuel line leakage.
