ANTI-POLLUTION
Pet rol vapors re-aspiration
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The communication of the t ank with t he
atmosphere is done through the carbon can. The petrol vapors are retained when they are
passing through the active carbon from the carbon
can. By means of a purging valve controlled by a
RCO signal issued by UCE injection, the petrol
vapors are re-aspired through piping by the intake
manifold.
The flow section of the purging valve is
variable, subject to the balance given by the
magnetic field created by supplying the purging
valve coil and the power of the spring ensuring
the valve closing.
RE-ASPIRATION CONDITIONS
The can-purging valve is controlled by pin
4 of the UCE injection, in the moment when:
-w ater tempera ture > 20 ° C;
- air temperature > 10 ° C;
- engine is running over a certain im-
posed charge; -valve potentiometer is not in the posi-
tion acceleration pedal not pressed.
By using the CLIP tester, it is possible the
reading of the RCO value (opening cyclic
ratio).
The purging valve is closed for a value
smaller than 0.7%. OPERATION CHECKING OF THE
CAN PURGING VALVE
A defective operation of the petrol vapors
re-aspiration system, may lead to an unstable
idling or even to the engine stopping. First of all, check:
-circuit conformity (see the operating
diagram)
-piping condition between the can and
the fuel tank (sealing, circuit clogging).
The (B) piping coming from the tank shall
be clogged.
Connect a manometer (-3…+3 bar) at the
(M) connection for communication with the
atmosphere and check at idling if there is
depression. Is there depression?
YES – Set conta ct off. Usi ng a
vacuum pump, apply a 500 - mbar depression
at the (A ) piping connection of t he purging
valve. The value of the red depression must
not have a variation more than 10 mbar
wi thin 10 seconds.

CIRCUIT PRESENTATION
1 – Ho se for oil vapors re-aspiration, connected upstream of valve body between cylinder
head cover and air filter case (the circuit is used for middle and big charges).
2 – Hose for oil vapors re-aspiration, connected downstream of valve body between cylinder
head cover and intake manifold.
For a correct operation of the oil vapors re-aspiration system, the hoses must be kept clean
and in good condition.

PRESENTATION
The system is composed of : -electronic control unit (UCE injection);
-a double ignition coil;
-f our spark plugs;
- spark plugs cables.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Subject to the information received from different sensors, but mainly subject to engine RPM
and charge, the electronic control unit will establish the advance at ignition, will identify the cylinders
being at upper dead point and consequently , will control the corresponding coil to them.
This is producing the spark at the level of the two cylinders being at upper de ad point,
interrupting the mass connection of the corresponding coil.

Conditions for diagnostic appl ication to memorized failure:
Start t he e ngine a nd stop it immediately as the failure is oc curring as being
prese nt (risk for catalyst) or rota te de engine with the starter, without starting it,
for 10 seconds.
In case of failures addition, treat as most important, failure “ DF345 : Supply 5
volts potenti ometers or sensors “ and failure “DF261: Fuel pump relay circui t”,
if it is /they are present
* If the failure is memorized with OBD indicator on, check in the context part, if
st ate “ET282 : Ignition coil 1-4 circuit” corresponding to the OBD indicator
lighting request is affirmative. In this case , proceed as per bellow mentioned
met hod
C heck the connection and condition of the coil connector .
R eplace the connector if necessary.
C heck the resistance of the coil resistance of c ylinders 1-4. Refer to chapte r
“Help” in order to compare the measured resistance values with the recommended
one .
R eplace the coil if necessary.
Check the +12 Volts supply existence after fue l pump relay, at pin C of the coi l.
If it is necessary, apply the methodology for failure diagnostic “DF261”
C onnect the 90 ways terminal box instead of the injection computer the n check

If the problem is persisting after the se checking, treat the other failures then
perform the conformity checking.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pe rform the operations from ” recommendations” for reparation confirma tion.
