Intake Air System
System Description
The system supplies air for all engine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe, Air Cleaner, intake air duct, Throttle Body
(TB), ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve, fast idle thermo valve, and intake manifold. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides
additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Positive Grankcase Ventilation (PGVI System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) svstem is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger, When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manitold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.

2. At idle, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between the PCV valve
and intake manifold is lightly pinched with your fin-
gers or pliers.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
Description:
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the following components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Control Canister
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the luel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the enqine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge ConirolSystem
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a pon
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
C. Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow ot fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
