Idling regime
< minimal limit RECOMMENDAT IONS The idling RPM is too low
- Check the enriching adjustment operation.
- Clean the air supply circuit (valve body, idling regulator), which may be clogged.
- Check the engine oil level ( too high ? bubbling).
- Check the engine compressions.
- Check the valves clearances and the distribution setting.
- Check the ignition.
- Check the injectors.
If all checked eleme nts are correct, replace the idling regula tor
Idling regime
> maximal limit RECOMMEND AT IONS The idling RPM is too high
- Check the oil level
- Check the good operations of the atmospheric pressure sensor.
- Check possible leaks at piping connected to the inlet manifold.
- Check the electric valve s with pneumatic control.
- Check the manifold gaskets.
- Check the gaskets of the valve body.
- Check tightening at servo-brake.
- Check the presence of nozzles in the connection hose s of the oil vapors re-aspiration circuit.
- Check the valves clearance and the distribution setting.
If all checked eleme nts are correct, replace the idling regula tor AFTER Restart the conformity checking from the beginning.

STEERING ASSEMBLY

General
CONSTANT POWER STEERING (CPS)
1. Power steering pump
2. Power steering box
3. High pressure piping
4. Low pressure piping
5. Oil reservoir
6. Rotary valve
7. Pressure controller
8. Accessories belt
9. Rigid ducts
10. Steering box working
chambers
The working principle of the Constant Power Steering (CPS ) system, consists in steering
hydraulic assistance by hydraulic fluid (oil) passing through a drawer (the two chambers ( 10)
from steering box) with double effect and through a rotary valve ( 6) that is distributing the fluid
through two pipes (9) towards the steering box ( 2) subject t o the full turni ng direction of the
directing wheels. The hydraulic assistance is ensured by a pressure controller ( 7) attached on the high pressure
pipe (3) and connected to the injection computer.
The injection computer is receiving information, during power steering operation, about the
pressure value in “high pressure circuit” ( which may be seen by means of the CLIP tester). The
pressure value in “high pressure circuit” is depending of the pomp conducted pressure as well as
of the used oil fluidity. The more pressure is high, the power steering pump is absorbing more additional energy.
The power steering pump ( 1) is continuously providing in the circuit a constant hydraulic fluid
(oil) flow, regardless the engine RPM, based on the fact t hat pump is driven by the accessories
belt (8). In this case, the system has the generic denomination of “ Open Center System “
REMARK:
The steering is not to be ful ly locked at maximum m ore than 45 seconds at an engine
RPM of 2500 rot/min (risk of power steering pump damaging).

EMARK :
It is forbidden to dismount from the power
st eering box the pipes between the rotary
valve and the steering box.
Whe n dismounti ng, the high and low
p ressure pipes are to be positioned with the
connection screws downward oriented, i n
order to avoid contaminants penetration.
R EMOU NT I NG
Mount :
-steering box
-s teering rods ball j oints in t he steeri ng

-anti-rocking steering rod;
- cardan joint in the position marke d at
dismounting;
-high and low pressure pipes (remove
MOT 453 pliers), ob serving t he re qui re d

- wheels;
- battery.
Refill the circuit with oil ( full reservoir).
With stopped engine, easy a ct upon the
steering wheel in both directions, so that rack
is performing a complete double stroke.
Repeat the operation with started engine
(oil pump operatin g), then fill up to the MAXI
mark, the oil level in the reservoir.
Check and eventually adjust the
parallelism.
