Fuel Injection Timing System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel injection timing system provides the optimal fuel injection timing for the target amount of fuel injected
according to engine speed. The timing is compensated when the vehicle is being driven or when starting
depending on the engine coolant temperature.
The ECM performs duty control on the timing control valve, allowing the valve to provide optimal fuel injection
timing. The ECM also performs feedback control on the timing control valve using the signal from the needle
lift sensor which detects the actual fuel injection timing.

The optimal fuel injection timing data, predetermined in proportion
to engine speeds and amount of fuel injected, are stored in the
ECM memory. The ECM uses the data to control the fuel injection
timing.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves acceleration when the air conditioner is used.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the air conditioner is turned off for a few seconds.
When engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high, the air conditioner is turned off. This continues
until the coolant temperature returns to normal.

If the engine speed is above 3,000 rpm with no load (for example,
in neutral and engine speed over 3,000 rpm) fuel will be cut off after
some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies based on
engine speed.
Fuel cut will operate until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm,
then fuel cut is cancelled.
NOTE:
This function is different from deceleration control and fuel cut
solenoid valve control listed under ``Fuel Injection System'',
EC-15 and ``TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC 36, 37, 38'',
EC-130.

Description
In this system, blow-by gas is sucked into the air inlet pipe through
the control valve after oil separation by oil separator in the rocker
cover.
Inspection
BLOW-BY CONTROL VALVE
Check control valve for clogging and abnormalities.
VENTILATION HOSE
1. 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.

CAUTION:
+Do not disassemble No. 1 nozzle (with needle lift sensor
built-in). If NG, replace No. 1 injection nozzle.
+Plug ¯are nut with a cap or rag so that no dust enters the
nozzle. Cover nozzle tip for protection of needle.
Removal and Installation
1. Remove fuel injection tube and spill tube.
2. Remove injection nozzle assembly.
Also remove gasket from nozzle end.
3. Install injection nozzle in the reverse order of removal.
Injection nozzle to engine:
: 59-69Nzm (6.0 - 7.0 kg-m, 43 - 51 ft-lb)
Injection nozzle to tube:
: 22-25Nzm (2.2 - 2.5 kg-m, 16 - 18 ft-lb)
Spill tube:
: 39-49Nzm (4.0 - 5.0 kg-m, 29 - 36 ft-lb)
a. Always clean the nozzle holes.
b. Always use new injection nozzle gasket.
c. Note that small washer should be installed in speci®ed
direction.
d. Bleed air from fuel system.
Disassembly (No.2-4nozzles)
Do not disassemble No. 1 nozzle (with needle lift sensor).
1. Loosen nozzle nut while preventing nozzle top from turning.
2. Arrange all disassembled parts in the order shown at left.

Inspection (No.2-4nozzles)
Thoroughly clean all disassembled parts with fresh kerosene or
solvent.
+If nozzle needle is damaged or fused, replace nozzle assem-
bly with a new one.
+If end of nozzle needle is seized or excessively discolored,
replace nozzle assembly.
+Check nozzle body and distance piece for proper contact. If
excessively worn or damaged, replace nozzle assembly or dis-
tance piece.
+Check distance piece and nozzle holder for proper contact. If
excessively worn or damaged, replace distance piece or nozzle
holder.
+Check nozzle spring for excessive wear or damage. If exces-
sively worn or damaged, replace it with a new spring.
Cleaning (No.2-4nozzles)
a. Do not touch the nozzle mating surface with your ®ngers.
b. To wash the nozzles, use a wooden stick and brass brush
with clean diesel fuel.
1. Remove any carbon from exterior of nozzle body (except wrap-
ping angle portion) by using Tool.
2. Clean oil sump of nozzle body using Tool.
3. Clean nozzle seat by using Tool.
This job should be performed with extra precautions, since
efficiency of nozzle depends greatly on a good nozzle seat.

4. Clean spray hole of nozzle body by using Tool.
To prevent spray hole from canting, always clean it by start-
ing with inner side and working towards outside.
5. Decarbonate nozzle needle tip by using Tool.
6. Check needle sinking.
(1) Pull needle about halfway out from body and then release it.
(2) Needle should sink into body very smoothly from just its own
weight.
(3) Repeat this test and rotate needle slightly each time.
If needle fails to sink smoothly from any position, replace both
needle and body as a unit.
Assembly (No.2-4nozzles)
Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, observing the fol-
lowing.
If nozzle body is not installed properly, Tool cannot be
removed and nozzle body may be damaged.
Holder to nozzle nut:
: 78-98Nzm (8.0 - 10.0 kg-m, 58 - 72 ft-lb)

Test and Adjustment
WARNING:
When using nozzle tester, be careful not to allow diesel fuel
sprayed from nozzle to contact your hands or body, and make
sure your eyes are properly protected with goggles.
INJECTION PRESSURE TEST
1. Install nozzle to injection nozzle tester and bleed air from ¯are
nut.
2. Pump the tester handle slowly (one time per second) and watch
the pressure gauge.
3. Read the pressure gauge when the injection pressure just
starts dropping.
Initial injection pressure:
Used
14,220 kPa (142.2 bar, 145 kg/cm
2, 2,062 psi)
New
14,711 - 15,495 kPa (147.1 - 155.0 bar,
150 - 158 kg/cm
2, 2,133 - 2,247 psi)
Always check initial injection pressure using a new nozzle.
4. To adjust injection pressure, change adjusting shims (No. 2 - 4
nozzles).
a. Increasing the thickness of adjusting shims increases ini-
tial injection pressure. Decreasing thickness reduces ini-
tial pressure.
b. A shim thickness of 0.04 mm (0.0016 in) corresponds
approximately to a difference of 471 kPa (4.71 bar, 4.8
kg/cm
2, 68 psi) in initial injection pressure.
Refer to SDS for adjusting shim (EC-189).
LEAKAGE TEST
1. Maintain the pressure at about 981 to 1,961 kPa (9.8 to 19.6
bar, 10 to 20 kg/cm2, 142 to 284 psi) below initial injection
pressure.
2. Check that there is no dripping from the nozzle tip or around the
body.
