MEF040D
+Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
+Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
+Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of deter-
gent.
+Do not disassemble IAC valve-AAC valve.
+Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous problems.
+Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor and
crankshaft position sensor.
+Before replacing ECM, perform refer to ªECM Terminals
and Reference Valueº inspection and make sure ECM
functions properly, EC-132.
SAT652J
+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº or ªOverall Function
Checkº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC Confirma-
tion Procedureº if the repair is completed. The ªOverall
Function Checkº should be a good result if the repair is
completed.
SEF348N
+When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never
allow the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
+Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the
ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals,
such as the ground.
PRECAUTIONSQG
Engine Fuel & Emission Control System (Cont'd)
EC-18

EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is controlled by ECM. When the engine operates, the flow
rate of vapor controlled by EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is proportionally regulated as
the air flow increases.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve also shuts off the vapor purge line during decelerating and
idling.
SEF917W
INSPECTIONNJEC0019EVAP CanisterNJEC0019S01Check EVAP canister as follows:
1. Block port B. Orally blow air through port A. Check that air
flows freely through port C with check valve resistance.
2. Block port A. Orally blow air through port B. Check that air
flows freely through port C.
SEF918W
SEF943S
Fuel Tank Vacuum Relief Valve (Built into fuel filler cap)NJEC0019S031. Wipe clean valve housing.
2. Check valve opening pressure and vacuum.
Pressure:
16.0 - 20.0 kPa (0.16 - 0.20 bar, 0.163 - 0.204 kg/cm
2,
2.32 - 2.90 psi)
Vacuum:
þ6.0 to þ3.5 kPa (þ0.060 to þ0.035 bar, þ0.061 to
þ0.036 kg/cm
2, þ0.87 to þ0.51 psi)
3. If out of specification, replace fuel filler cap as an assembly.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Volume
Control Solenoid Valve
NJEC0019S07Refer to EC-308.
Checking EVAP Vapour LinesNJEC0019S131. Visually inspect vapor lines for leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing and deterioration.
2. Inspect vacuum relief valve of fuel tank filler cap for clogging,
sticking, etc. Refer to next page.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0022
SEF921W
This system returns blow-by gas to the intake collector.
The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intake
manifold.
During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV
valve.
Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any blow-by and a small amount of ventilating air.
The ventilating air is then drawn from the air duct into the crankcase. In this process the air passes through
the hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover.
Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum is insufficient to draw the blow-by flow through the valve.
The flow goes through the hose connection in the reverse direction.
On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not meet the requirement. This is because some
of the flow will go through the hose connection to the intake collector under all conditions.
SEF244Q
INSPECTIONNJEC0023PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) ValveNJEC0023S01With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from breather sepa-
rator. A properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes
through it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a fin-
ger is placed over the valve inlet.
ET277
Ventilation HoseNJEC0023S021. Check hoses and hose connections for leaks.
2. Disconnect all hoses and clean with compressed air. If any
hose cannot be freed of obstructions, replace.

Fuel Pressure ReleaseNJEC0024Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel
line to eliminate danger.
WITH CONSULT-IINJEC0024S011. Start engine.
2. Perform ªFUEL PRESSURE RELEASEº in ªWORK SUP-
PORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
JEF086Y
WITHOUT CONSULT-IINJEC0024S021. Remove fuse for fuel pump. Refer to fuse block cover for fuse
location.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and reconnect fuel pump fuse.
JEF087Y
Fuel Pressure CheckNJEC0025+When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
+Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent
parts.
+Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.
+Use Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
+Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operat-
ing. Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Disconnect fuel hose between fuel filter and fuel tube (engine
side).
3. Install pressure gauge between fuel filter and fuel tube.
4. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
5. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
At idle speed:
With vacuum hose connected
Approximately 235 kPa (2.35 bar, 2.4 kg/cm
2,34
psi)
With vacuum hose disconnected
Approximately 294 kPa (2.94 bar, 3.0 kg/cm
2,43
psi)
