2. Camshaft
The intake camshaft is provided with timing rotor to trigger the camshaft position sensor.
In conjunction with the adoption of the VVT-i system, an oil passage is provided in the intake camshaft
in order to supply engine oil pressure to the VVT-i system.
A VVT-i controller has been installed on the front of the intake camshaft to vary the timing of the intake
valves.
3. Timing Chain
A roller chain with an 8 mm (0.315 in.) pitch is used to make the engine more compact.
The timing chain is lubricated by an oil jet.
The chain tensioner uses a spring and oil pressure to maintain proper chain tension at all times.
The chain tensioner suppresses noise generated by the timing chain.
A ratchet type non-return mechanism is used.
To achieve excellent serviceability, the chain tensioner is constructed so that it can be removed and
installed from the outside of the timing chain cover.

2. Air Cleaner
A nonwoven, full-fabric type air cleaner element is used.
A charcoal filter, which adsorbs the HC that accumulates in the intake system when the engine is stopped,
is used in the air cleaner cap in order to reduce evaporative emissions.
3. Throttle Body
The linkless-type throttle body is used and it realizes excellent throttle control.
A DC motor with excellent response and minimal power consumption is used for the throttle control motor.
The ECM performs the duty ratio control of the direction and the amperage of the current that flows to
the throttle control motor in order to regulate the opening angle of the throttle valve.

IGNITION SYSTEM
1. General
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) is used. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS in this engine is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for each
cylinder.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used.
2. Spark Plug
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to improve ignition performance while maintaining the same durability
of the platinum-tipped spark plugs.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The engine control system for the 2AZ-FE engine has the following systems.
System
Outline
SFI
Sequential Multiport
Fuel InjectionAn L-type SFI system directly detects the intake air volume with a hot-wire
type mass air flow meter.
The fuel injection system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
ESA
Electronic Spark
AdvanceIgnition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various sensors.
The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine knocking.
ETCS-i
Electronic
Optimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the amount of
accelerator pedal effort and the condition of the engine and the vehicle.
Electronic
Throttle Control
System-intelligent
(See page-43)A linkless-type is used, without an accelerator cable.
An accelerator pedal position sensor is provided on the accelerator pedal.
A non-contact type throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal position
sensor are used.
VVT-i
Va r i a b l e Va l v e
Timing-intelligent
(See page EG-48)
Controls the intake camshaft to an optimal valve timing in accordance with the
engine condition.
Air-fuel Ratio
Sensor, Oxygen
Sensor Heater
ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to realize accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas.
Air Conditioning
Cut-off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with the
engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Cooling Fan Control
(See page EG-52)Radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from ECM based on the
engine coolant temperature sensor signal and the condition of the air
conditioning operation.
Fuel Pump Control
(See page EG-53)Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped when the SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbags
are deployed.
Evapotative Emission
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the canister
in accordance with engine conditions.
Evapotative Emission
Control
(See page EG-54)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 0.02 in. leak pressure.
Charging Control
(See page EG-65)The ECM regulates the charging voltage of the generator in accordance with the
driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.
