Positive Crankcase Ventilation
DESCRIPTIONNEEC0022
AEC042B
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.
SEC137A
INSPECTIONNEEC0023PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) ValveNEEC0023S01With 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.

Ventilation HoseNEEC0023S021. 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 ReleaseNEEC0024Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel
line to eliminate danger.
WITH CONSULT-IINEEC0024S011. 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.

WITHOUT CONSULT-IINEEC0024S021. Remove fuse for fuel pump.
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.

Fuel Pressure CheckNEEC0025+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

With vacuum hose disconnected
Approximately 294 kPa (2.94 bar, 3.0 kg/cm

If results are unsatisfactory, perform Fuel Pressure Regulator
Check, EC-3034.

Fuel Pressure Regulator CheckNEEC00261. 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.

Injector
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNEEC00271. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Remove injector tube assembly with injectors from intake
manifold.
3. Remove injectors from injector tube assembly.
+Push injector tail piece.
+Do not pull on the connector.
4. Install injector to fuel tube assembly.
a. Clean exterior of injector tail piece.
b. Use new O-rings.
Always replace O-rings with new ones.
Lubricate O-rings with a smear of engine oil.
5. Install injectors with fuel tube assembly to intake manifold.
Tighten in numerical order shown in the figure.
a. First, tighten all bolts to 9.3 to 10.8 N´m (0.95 to 1.1 kg-m, 6.9
to 8.0 ft-lb).
b. Then, tighten all bolts to 21 to 26 N´m (2.1 to 2.7 kg-m, 15 to
20 ft-lb).
6. Install fuel hoses to fuel tube assembly.
7. Reinstall any parts removed in reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
After properly connecting injectors to fuel tube assembly,
check connections for fuel leakage.

Fast Idle Cam (FIC)
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNEEC0502The FIC is installed on the throttle body to maintain adequate
engine speed while the engine is cold. It is operated by a volumet-
ric change in wax located inside the thermo-element. The thermo-
element is operated by engine coolant temperature.
