6E2-6 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE)
Air Intake System
The main components of the air intake system are air cleaner, mass air flow sensor, air cleaner, intake air pipe,
throttle body, intake collector, idle air control valve and intake manifold.
The air (by the amount corresponding to the throttle valve opening and engine speed) is filtered by the air
cleaner, passes through the throttle body, is distributed by the intake manifold and finally drawn into each com-
bustion chamber.
When the idle air control valve is opened according to the signal from ECM (PCM), the air bypasses the throttle
valve through bypass passage and is finally drawn into the intake manifold.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE) 6E2-7
Fuel Delivery System
The fuel delivery system consists of the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, delivery pipe and
fuel injectors.
The fuel in the fuel tank is pumped up by the fuel pump, filtered by the fuel filter and fed under pressure to each
injector through the delivery pipe.
As the fuel pressure applied to the injector (the fuel pressure in the fuel feed line) is always kept a certain
amount higher than the pressure in the intake manifold by the fuel pressure regulator, the fuel is injected into the
intake port of the cylinder head when the injector opens according to the injection signal from ECM (PCM).
The fuel relieved by the fuel pressure regulator returns through the fuel return line to the fuel tank.

REMOVAL
Remove fuel tank from body according to procedure described in
Section 6C and remove fuel pump from fuel tank.
INSPECTION
Check fuel pump filter for evidence of dirt and contamination. If
present, clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel tank.
INSTALLATION
Install fuel pump to fuel tank and then install fuel tank to body
according to procedure described in “Section 6C”.
Fuel pressure regulator
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to “FUEL
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
3) Disconnect vacuum hose (1) from fuel pressure regulator.
4) Remove fuel pressure regulator (1) from fuel delivery pipe
(3).
5) Disconnect fuel return hose (2) from fuel pressure regulator.
CAUTION:
A small amount of fuel may be released when it is from
delivery pipe.
Place a shop cloth under delivery pipe so that released
fuel is absorbed in it.
CAUTION:
A small amount of fuel may be released when hose is dis-
connected. Cover hose to be disconnected with a shop
cloth.
