5S-FE ENGINE
1. Description
The following changes have been made to the 5S-FE engine.
Item
Details
Fuel System
ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system has been adopted
to reduce the amount of fuel vapor that is discharged to the atmosphere
during refueling. The operation and construction of the ORVR system are
the same as those of the '98 Corolla. For details, see the '98 Corolla New
Car Features (Pub. No. NCF148U).
Engine Control
System
The diagnostic function of the evaporative emission control system,
which was adopted on the previous automatic transaxle model, has been
newly adopted also on the manual transaxle model.
The engine immobiliser function has been integrated with the ECM. For
details, see page 23.
*: Applicable only to Vehicle Equipped with the Engine Immobiliser System.

1MZ-FE ENGINE
1. Description
On the California specification automatic transaxle model, the 1MZ-FE engine has adopted the air-fuel ratio
sensor and the WU-TWC (Warm Up-Three-Way Catalytic Converter) to reduce exhaust emissions.

4. Intake and Exhaust System (California Specification Automatic Transaxle Model)
Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifolds have been changed from the previous 3-layer type, in which ceramic wool is sand-
wiched, to the double-wall construction consisting of stainless steel pipes. As a result, the warm-up per-
formance of the TWC has been improved.
The left bank exhaust manifold integrates with a WU-TWC.

Warm Up-Three-Way Catalytic Converter
In addition to the TWC that is provided under the floor of the previous model, WU-TWCs are provided
to reduce exhaust emissions soon after the engine is started.
The WU-TWC for the right bank is provided in the front exhaust pipe and in the exhaust manifold for
the left bank.
The WU-TWC uses a thin-foil (foil thickness 50 m 30 m) metallic substrate for weight reduction
and to improve warm-up performance.
5. Fuel System
Fuel Injector (California Specification Automatic Transaxle Model)
A compact 4-hole type injector has been adopted
to improve the atomization of fuel.

6. Engine Control System
General
The California specification automatic transaxle model has adopted an air-fuel sensor. All models are avail-
able with the Engine Immobiliser System as an optional equipment. The models other than the California
specification automatic transaxle model are basically the same as the '97 models except for the adoption
of the Engine Immobiliser System.
SFI (Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection)
The precision of the air-fuel ratio feedback control has been improved through the adoption of the air-fuel
ratio sensor. The operation of the air-fuel ratio sensor and the ECM are the same as those of the California
specification model with the 5S-FE engine and automatic transaxle. For details, see the '97 Camry New Car
Features (Pub. No. NCF134U).
Engine Immobiliser System
The engine immobiliser system has been designed to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. This system
uses an ECM that stores the ID code of the authorized ignition key. If an attempt is made to start the engine
using an unauthorized key, the ECM prohibits fuel delivery and ignition effectively disabling the engine.
For details, see page 23 in the Engine Immobiliser system section.
