System Operation
1) Purge Flow Control
When the engine has satisfied the predetermined conditions (closed loop, engine coolant temperature
above 74
C (165F), etc.), the stored vapor gas are purged from the canister whenever the purge VSV
is opened by the ECM.
The ECM will change the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV, thus controlling purge flow volume. Purge
flow volume is determined by intake manifold pressure and the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister to ensure that purge flow is constantly maintained
whenever purge vacuum is applied to the canister.
2) ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery)
When the internal pressure of the fuel tank increases during refueling, this pressure causes the diaphragm
in the refueling valve to lift up, allowing the vapor gas to enter the canister. Because the vent valve is
always open (even when the engine is stopped) when the system is in a mode other than the monitoring
mode, the air that has been cleaned through the canister is discharged outside the vehicle via the fresh
air line. If the vehicle is refueled in the monitoring mode, the ECM will recognize the refueling by way
of the canister pressure sensor, which detects the sudden pressure increase in the fuel tank, and will open
the vent valve.

1. General
Each cylinder of this engine has 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. Intake and exhaust efficiency is
increased due to the larger total port areas.
This engine uses roller rocker arms with built-in needle bearings. This reduces the friction that occurs
between the cams and the areas (roller rocker arms) that push the valves down, thus improving fuel
economy.
A hydraulic lash adjuster, which maintains a constant zero valve clearance through the use of oil pressure
and spring force, is used.
The intake camshafts are driven by the crankshaft via the primary timing chain. The exhaust camshafts
are driven by the intake camshaft of the respective bank via the secondary timing chain.
This engine uses a Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system which controls the intake and
exhaust camshafts to provide optimal valve timing according to driving conditions. With this adoption,
lower fuel consumption, higher engine performance, and fewer exhaust emissions have been achieved.
For details of Dual VVT-i control, see page EG-120.

FUEL SYSTEM
1. General
The fuel returnless system is used to reduce evaporative emissions.
A fuel cut control is used to stop the fuel pump when the SRS airbag is deployed in a frontal or side
collision. For details, see page EG-53.
The fuel delivery pipe made of plastic is used.
A quick connector is used to connect the fuel pipe with the fuel hose for excellent serviceability.
Compact 12-hole type injectors are used to increase atomization of the fuel.
A compact fuel pump in which a fuel filter is integrated in the fuel pump assembly is used.
The ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system is used. For details, see page EG-131.

2. Fuel Returnless System
This type of fuel system is used to reduce the evaporative emission. As shown below, by integrating the fuel
filter and pressure regulator with fuel pump assembly, the fuel return system in which the fuel returns from
the engine area is discontinued and temperature rise inside the fuel tank is prevented.
3. Fuel Delivery Pipe
The fuel delivery pipe made of plastic is used to realize lightweight.
The right and left fuel delivery pipes are connected by a nylon tube.
The pulsation damper is sealed with an O-ring and secured with a holder.

System
Outline
Air-fuel Ratio Sensor and
Oxygen Sensor Heater
ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to increase accuracy of detection of the oxygen
concentration in the exhaust gas.
Evaporative Emission
Control
[See page EG-131]
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emission (HC) in the
canister in accordance with engine conditions.
Approximately five hours after the ignition switch has been turned OFF,
the ECM operates the canister pump module to detect any evaporative
emission leakage occurring in the EVAP (evaporative emission) control
system through changes in the EVAP control system pressure.
Engine ImmobilizerProhibits fuel delivery and ignition if an attempt is made to start the engine
with an invalid ignition key.
Diagnosis
[See page EG-132]When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM diagnoses and memorizes
the failed section.
Fail-safe
[See page EG-133]When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops or controls the engine
according to the data already stored in the memory.
