5S-FNE ENGINE
1. Description
The 5S-FNE engine is a new engine that uses CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as fuel, which has been devel-
oped based on the 5S-FE gasoline engine.
The main component of natural gas is methane (CH
4), which has fewer carbous (C) than gasoline (mean mo-
lecular formula: C
7.5H13.4). Therefore, the amount of CO2 discharged by this engine is approximately 70%
that of the gasoline engine. Furthermore, this engine achieves low-emission operation by precisely controlled
air-fuel ratio and using special catalysts for the CNG application.
However, because the fuel is in the gaseous form, its volumetric efficiency is low, causing lower power output
if this fuel is used in the base engine.
Therefore, the 5S-FNE engine has adopted the following features: a high compression ratio, the intake valves
with early closed timing, the intake and exhaust valves with increased lift, a low back pressure muffler made
possible by the 2-way exhaust system, injectors for gaseous fuel, and a catalytic converter designed exclu-
sively for CNG application. At the same time, precision air-fuel ratio control is effected through the use of
the air-fuel ratio sensor* and the heater oxygen sensor, thus achieving the level of performance that is equiva-
lent to the base engine. Moreover, this engine realizes extremely low emissions and restoring engine torque.
*: Already adopted on the California specification 5S-FE engine.

8. Engine Control System
General
An engine control system based on the 5S-FE engine has been adopted. The knock sensor has been discon-
tinued 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.

OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES
The Camry is a high-quality family sedan with advanced technology and sporty performance. The following
changes are made for the 2001 model year.
1. 5S-FE Engine
The 5S-FE engine that are equipped on the '00 California specification models, which comply with the U-
LEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) requirements, have now been provided on the all models.
2. 1MZ-FE Engine
The 1MZ-FE engine that are equipped on the '00 California specification models, which comply with the
LEV (Low Emission Vehicle) requirements, have now been provided on the all models with the automatic
