the air flow increases.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve also shuts off the vapor purge line during decelerating and
idling.

INSPECTIONNLEC0019EVAP CanisterNLEC0019S01Check 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.

Fuel Pressure Regulator CheckNLEC00261. Stop engine and disconnect fuel pressure regulator vacuum
hose from intake manifold.
2. Plug intake manifold with a rubber cap.
3. Connect variable vacuum source to fuel pressure regulator.
4. Start engine and read indication of fuel pressure gauge as
vacuum is changed.
Fuel pressure should decrease as vacuum increases. If results
are unsatisfactory, replace fuel pressure regulator.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNLEC00271. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Remove fuel tube assemblies in numerical sequence as
shown in the Figure at left.
3. Expand and remove clips securing fuel injectors.
4. Extract fuel injectors straight from fuel tubes.
+Be careful not to damage injector nozzles during removal.
+Do not bump or drop fuel injectors.
5. Install fuel injectors.
Carefully install O-rings, including the one used with the pres-
sure regulator.
+Lubricate O-rings with a smear of engine oil.
+Be careful not to damage O-rings with service tools or
finger nails or clips. Do not expand or twist O-rings.
+Discard old clips; replace with new ones.
6. Position clips in grooves on fuel injectors.
+Make sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned
with cutouts of clips after installation.

+On models equipped with air conditioner, checks should
be carried out while the air conditioner is ªOFFº.
+When measuring ªCOº percentage, insert probe more
than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
+Turn off headlamps, heater blower, rear window defogger.
+On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set
lighting switch to the 1st position to light only small
lamps.
+Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
+If engine stops immediately after starting or idle condition
is unstable, perform the following to initialize IACV-AAC
valve:
a)Stop engine and wait 9 seconds.
b)Turn ignition ªONº and wait 1 second.
c)Turn ignition ªOFFº and wait 9 seconds.
+Make sure the cooling fan has stopped.

Component DescriptionNLEC0144The heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear), after three way catalyst, moni-
tors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas.
Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1
(front) are shifted, the air fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric,
by the signal from the heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear).
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates
voltage from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner
conditions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear) is not
used for engine control operation.
