10. Fuel Temperatur and Pressure Sensor for Fuel Gage
A fuel temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the fuel tank is provided on the tank valve assembly.
A fuel pressure sensor that detects the pressure in the fuel main pipe is provided immediately upstream
of the fuel pressure regulator.
The pressure and the temperature of the fuel are detected by these sensors and are input into the ECM.
These values are then converted by the ECM into the equivalent pressure at 215C to actuate the fuel gauge.
IGNITION SYSTEM
Because the spark plugs are susceptible to rust when used with natural gas, corrosion-resistant spark plugs
have been adopted. These spark plugs are the iridium-tipped spark plugs that have their metallic portion
plated.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
An engine control system based on the 5S-FE engine has been adopted. The knock sensor has been discontin-
ued because natural gas has a high octane value and is less susceptible to knocking.
The engine control system of 5S-FNE and 5S-FE engines are compared below.
System
Outline5S-FNE5S-FE
SFI
Sequential
A D-type SFI system is used, which indirectly detects
intake air volume by manifold absolute pressure sensor.
Sequential
Multiport Fuel
Injection
The fuel injection system is a sequential multiport fuel
injection system.
Ignition timing is determined by the ECM based on sig-
nals from various sensors.
ESA
Electronic Spark
AdvanceThe ECM corrects the ignition timing in response to en-
gine knocking in accordance with the signals received
from the knock sensor.
Ð
Advance
Torque control correction during gear shifting had been
used to minimize the shift shock.*1
IAC
(Idle Air Control)A rotary solenoid type IAC valve controls the fast idle
and idle speeds.
(1-Coil Type
Built-in Driver)(2-Coil Type)
Fuel Pump ControlFuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the
ECM.Ð
Fuel Cut-Off
Control
The fuel shutoff valves for the fuel tank, fuel pressure
regulator, and delivery pipe are shut off to stop the sup-
ply of fuel when the ignition switch is turned OFF or
during abnormal conditions (such as engine stalling,
SRS airbag deployed, etc.).
Ð
Oxygen Sensor
and Air Fuel Ratio
Sensor
Heater ControlMaintains the temperature of the oxygen sensor and air
fuel ratio sensor at an appropriate level to increase accu-
racy of detection of the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas.
*2
EGR Cut-Off
ControlCuts off EGR according to the engine condition to
maintain drivability of the vehicle and durability of the
EGR components.
Evaporative
Emission ControlThe ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emis-
sions (HC) in the charcoal canister in accordance with
engine conditions.
Ð
Air Conditioning
Cut-Off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF
in accordance with the engine condition, drivability is
maintained.
*3*3
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM diag-
noses and memorized the failed section.
DiagnosisThe diagnosis system includes a function that detects a
malfunction in the evaporative emission control sys-
tem.
Ð
Fail-Safe
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops
or controls the engine according to the data already
stored in memory.
*1: Only for Automatic Transaxle Model
*
2: Air fuel ratio sensor only for California specification model.

BODY
DESCRIPTION
To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been
cut.
To prevent reducing the rigidity of the body due to the upper back panel that has been cut out, as well
as for installing the fuel tank, rear seat back, and package tray trim, a performance rod is used for joining
both rear suspension strut towers.
The luggage door support has been changed from the torsion bar to the damper stay type.
To prevent reducing the capacity of the luggage compartment due to the installation of the fuel tank
in the luggage compartment, the shape of the rear floor pan has been changed.
