2. Features of 5S-FNE Engine
Features of the 5S-FNE engine are listed below.
Item
Features
Performance
High compression ratio is used.
High lift camshaft is used.
Low back pressure muffler is used.
Fuel Economy
High compression ratio is used.
Valve spring load has been reduced.
Low-friction. TiN (titanium nitride) coated valve lifters has been adopted.
Low Emission
A fuel injection system containing gas injectors has been adopted.
Because the fuel is in the gaseous state, it does not come in contact with
the wall surface, making optimal air-fuel ratio control possible
immediately after the engine has been started.
Precision air-fuel ratio feedback control that uses an air-fuel ratio sensor
and a heated oxygen sensor has been adopted.
Two catalytic converters designed exclusively for the natural gas engine
have been adopted: the WU-TWC (Warm Up Three-Way Catalytic
Converter) and the TWC (Three-Way Catalytic Converter).
Other Features
Highly rigid pistons have been adopted to accommodate the high
compression ratio.
A CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) pressure regulator that precisely
regulates the CNG has been adopted.
A large-bore delivery pipe and fuel hose with minimal internal conduit
resistance have been adopted.
The electro magnetic fuel shutoff valve is added on the delivery pipe.
A fuel pressure sensor that corrects the fuel injection volume and a fuel
temperature sensor have been provided on the delivery pipe.
The starting performance of the engine at low temperatures has been
ensured by increasing the volume of the airflow of the IAC (Idle Air
Control).
Materials that excel in wear resistance have been adopted on the valves
and valve seats for both the intake and exhaust.
Rust-resistant spark plugs have been adopted.
Aluminum lining and carbon fiber have been adopted in the fuel tank.
For the fuel gauge, a fuel tank fuel temperature sensor and a fuel pipe fuel
pressure sensor have been adopted.

Fuel Temperature and Pressure Sensor for Fuel Gage
A fuel temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the fuel tank is provided on the tank valve assem-
bly.
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 21C to actuate the fuel gauge.
7. 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 platinum-tipped spark plugs that have their metallic portion
plated.

Construction
The configuration of the engine control system in the 5S-FNE engine is as shown in the following chart.
(Continued)

The 5S±FE engine is an in±line, 4±cylinder engine with the cylinders numbered 1±2±3±4
from the front. The crankshaft is supported by five bearings inside the crankcase. These bearings
are made of aluminum alloy.
The crankshaft is integrated with eight weights for balance. Oil holes are placed in the center of
the crankshaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearing, pistons and other components.
The firing order is 1±3±4±2. The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, with a cross flow
type intake and exhaust layout and with pent±roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs
are located in the center of the combustion chambers.
The intake manifold has four independent long ports and utilizes the inertial supercharging effect
to improve engine torque at low and medium speeds.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring
carbon steel which are capable of functioning no matter what the engine speed.
The intake camshaft is driven by a timing belt, and a gear on the intake camshaft engages with
a gear on the exhaust camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supported at five places between
the valve lifters of each cylinder and on the front end of the cylinder head. Lubrication of the cam
journals and gears is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the
camshaft.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of an outer shim type system, in which valve
adjusting shims are located above the valve lifters. This permits replacement of the shims without
removal of the camshafts.
Pistons are made of high temperature±resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into
the piston head to prevent interference with the valves.
Piston pins are the full±floating type, with the pins fastened to neither the piston boss nor the
connecting rods. Instead, snap rings are fitted on both ends of the pins, preventing the pins from
falling out.
The No.1 compression ring is made of steel and the No.2 compression ring is made of cast iron.
The oil ring is made of a combination of steel and stainless steel. The outer diameter of each
piston ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the piston and the flexibility of the rings allows
them to hug the cylinder walls when they are mounted on the piston. Compression rings No.1 and
No.2 work to prevent gas leakage from the cylinder and the oil ring works to scrape oil off the
cylinder walls to prevent it from entering the combustion chambers.
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. It has four cylinders which are approximately twice the
length of the piston stroke. The top of each cylinder is closed off by the cylinder head and the
lower end of the cylinders becomes the crankcase, in which the crankshaft is installed. In
addition, the cylinder block contains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the
cylinders.
The oil pan is bolted onto the bottom of the cylinder block. The oil pan is an oil reservoir made of
pressed sheet steel. A dividing plate is included 'inside the oil pan to keep sufficient oil in the
bottom of the pan even when the vehicle is tilted. This dividing plate also prevents the oil from
making waves when the vehicle is stopped suddenly and the oil shifts away from the oil pump
suction pipe.
The 5S±FE engine uses two balance shafts. The balance shafts are fitted in balance shaft
housings that are located at the bottom of the cylinder block. The No. 1 balance shaft is driven by
the drive gear of the crankshaft No.3 counterweight at twice the speed of the crankshaft. The No.
2 balance shaft is driven by the No±1 balance shaft at the same speed in the same direction as the
crankshaft. The balance shafts are designed to eliminate secondary inertia force from the engine,
thereby reducing the engine noise (booming noise).
