Fuel Injection Timing Control System
DESCRIPTION
The target fuel injection timing in accordance with the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are
recorded as a map in the ECM beforehand. The ECM and the injection pump control unit exchange signals
and perform feedback control for optimum injection timing in accordance with the map.

System description
This system improves acceleration when the air conditioner is used.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the air conditioner is turned off for a few seconds.
When engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high, the air conditioner is turned off. This contin-
ues until the engine coolant temperature returns to normal.

If the engine speed is above 2,700 rpm with no load (for example, in neutral and engine speed over 2,700
rpm) fuel will be cut off after some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies based on engine speed.
Fuel cut will operate until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm, then fuel cut is cancelled.
NOTE:
This function is different from deceleration control listed under ªFuel Injection Control Systemº,

Injection Tube and Injection Nozzle
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
+Do not disassemble injection nozzle assembly. If NG,
replace injection nozzle assembly.
+Plug flare nut with a cap or rag so that no dust enters the
nozzle. Cover nozzle tip for protection of needle.
Injection tube
Removal
1. Mark the cylinder Nos. to the injection tubes, then disconnect
them.
+Marking should be made at proper locations and by the
proper method, so that they are not erased by fuel, etc.
2. Remove the clamps, then disconnect the tubes one by one.
+Avoid letting leaked fuel get on the interior walls of the
engine compartment.
Take special care to prevent fuel from getting on the engine
mount insulator.

2. Move the power steering pump.
3. Remove the harness connector from the fuel injection pump.
+After pulling the connector stopper all the way back, remove
the connector.
+When the stopper is pulled all the way back, the interlocked-
connector will come off.
As for installation, when the connector is pushed all the way
forward until the stopper locks, the interlocked-connector is
inserted.
4. Remove the fuel injection pump rear bracket.
5. Remove the chain cover.
+Remove the installation bolts A, B, and C shown in the fig-
ure (left).
CAUTION:
During chain cover removal, seal the opening to prevent
foreign objects from getting into the engine.
6. Fix the internal mechanism of the idler gear (scissors gear
structure).
a. Remove the plug on the front side of the gear case.
b. While turning the crankshaft pulley clockwise, check the
tightening bolt hole of the idler gear internal mechanism
through the plug hole.
+Conduct the visual check using a mirror.
+When checking, note that there are 2 other holes (with no
thread) beside the tightening bolt hole on the idler gear.

13. Make the mating marks on the fuel injection pump flange and
front plate with paint.
14. Remove installation bolts first, and then fuel injection pump
toward the rear side of the engine.
+When the fuel injection pump is stationary, it can still be
retained by the dowel without all bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble or adjust the fuel injection pump.
INSTALLATION
+The injection timing adjustment to correct the installation
angle deviation is not necessary. Install the pump in the
proper position according to the dowel and installation bolts.
1. Install the fuel injection pump from the rear side of the
engine.
+Match the dowel of the spacer to the dowel hole of the pump
side for installation.
+Replace the seal washer of the installation bolt with a new
one.
2. Align the mating marks of the fuel injection pump flange and
front plate, and then adjust the approximate flange position.
+Each hole [6 mm (0.24 in) dia.] is used as a reference point
for the fuel injection pump flange, fuel injection pump gear,
and fuel injection pump sprocket.
+Only during removal/installation at No. 1 cylinder compres-
sion top dead center, can the hole [6 mm (0.24 in) dia.] of the
pump body be aligned.
3. Install the fuel injection pump sprocket and gear as an
assembly.
+Align the mating marks of the idler gear and fuel injection
pump gear properly.
4. Tighten the installation bolt of the fuel injection pump
sprocket.
+Fix the fuel injection pump gear with the pulley holder (SST),
and tighten the installation bolt.
CAUTION:
Before tightening the installation bolt, check again that the
mating marks of the idler gear and fuel injection pump gear
are aligned.

Air Bleeding
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
+When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming
pump suddenly becomes heavy. Stop operation at that
time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the prim-
ing pump (the pumping of the priming pump does not
become heavy), disconnect the fuel supply hose
between the fuel filter and the injection pump. Then, per-
form the operation described above, and make sure that
fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that,
connect the hose, and then bleed air again.

DTC and MI Detection Logic
When a malfunction is detected, the malfunction (DTC) is stored in the ECM memory.
The MI will light up each time the ECM detects malfunction. For diagnostic items causing the MI to light up,
refer to ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEXº, EC-1006.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
HOW TO READ DTC
The DTC can be read by the following methods.
Without CONSULT-II
ECM displays the DTC by a set of four digit numbers with MI illumination in the diagnostic test mode II
(Self-diagnostic results). Example: 0102, 0407, 1004, etc.
With CONSULT-II
CONSULT-II displays the DTC in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode. Examples: ªCRANK POS SEN (TDC)º, etc.
+Output of the trouble code means that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. However, in the
Mode II it does not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or occurred in the past and
returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
How to erase DTC (
With CONSULT-II)
1.If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Touch ªENGINEº.
3. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
4. Touch ªERASEº. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting ªERASEº in the ªSELF-
DIAG RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
How to erase DTC (Without CONSULT-II)
1.If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.

2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See
EC-1035.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
+If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after
approx. 24 hours.
+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
+If the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch
in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is dis-
played on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-
diagnostic results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS
program card. Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft Sys-
tem)º in EL section.
+Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº
mode with CONSULT-II.
+When replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and
registration of all NATS ignition key IDs must be carried
out with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner. Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization
and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTION
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON
without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
+If the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-1276.
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter. Refer to MA section.
