Marea- Marea Weekend & Engine
2000 range (§) Fuel feed system
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Foreword
The Marea-Marea Weekend 1998 20v is equipped with a 5 cylinder in line engine with 20 valves, 1998
cc, twin overhead camshaft and a Bosch ME3.1 integrated electronic injection/ignition system.
The fuel system differs from the one described for the 1998 20v "99 range" version through the addition
of several variants to make it compatible with the EEC Stage 3 EOBD regulations.
The main modifications to the system can be summarized as follows:
- Catalytic converter near the exhaust manifold to take maximum advantage of the heat of the gases.
- Two Lambda sensors, one upstream (front) and one downstream (rear) which check the quality of the
exhaust gases and the operation of the catalyzer.
- Adoption of an accelerometre sensor on the right shock absorber turret, used to distinguish between
engine torque variations doe to the uneveness of the road surface and those due to failed ignition in
the combustion chamber (misfire).
- Adoption of a timing sensor on the inlet side timing pulley.
- Multi-purpose valve on the tank to prevent leaks.
- Adoption of raipd attachment connectors for the anti-evaporation system pipes.
- Cap on the fuel filler with an attachment cable.
For further information on the fuel system, refer to publication 507137.
