INSPECTION
1. Disconnect the ventilation hose from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. Remove the PCV valve from
the rocker cover and reconnect it to the ventilation hose.
2. Run the engine at idle and put a finger on the open end of the PCV valve and make sure that intake manifold
vacuum is felt.

The plunger inside the PCV valve will move back and forth.

3. If vacuum is not felt, clean the PCV valve and ventilation hose in cleaning solvent, or replace if necessary.

INSPECTION
1. Remove the positive crankcase ventilation valve.
2. Insert a thin stick into the positive crankcase ventilation valve from the threaded side to check that the plunger
moves.
3. If the plunger does not move, the positive crankcase ventilation valve is clogged. Clean or replace it.

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle body, and connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum hose.

2. Check the following points when the engine is cold [engine coolant temperature 60°C(140°F) or below] and when it
is warm [engine coolant temperature 80°C(176°F) or higher].

INSPECTION
1. Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage to the fuel vapor lines.
2. Look for distortion, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. After removing the canister, inspect for cracks or damage.

INSPECTION

When disconnecting the vacuum hose, make an identification mark on it so that it can be reconnected to its
original position.

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve.

2. Detach the harness connector.
3. Connect a vacuum pump to the nipple to which the red-striped vacuum hose was connected.
4. Apply vacuum and check when voltage is applied to the evaporative emission canister purge solenoid valve and
when the voltage is discontinued.
Battery voltage Normal condition
When applied Vacuum is released.
When discontinued Vacuum is maintained.

5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid valve.

Coil resistance: 24.5-27.5 ![at 20°C(68°F)]

DESCRIPTION
AIR/FUEL MIXTURE CONTROL SYSTEM [Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) System]
The MFI system is a system which uses the signals from the heated oxygen sensor to activate and control the injector
installed in the manifold for each cylinder, thus precisely regulating the air/fuel mixture ratio and reducing emissions.
This in turn allows the engine to produce exhaust gases of the proper composition to permit the use of a three way
catalyst. The three way catalyst is designed to convert the three pollutants (1) hydrocarbons (HC), (2) carbon
monoxide (CO), and (3) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless substances. There are two operating modes in the MFI
system.
1. Open Loop air/fuel ratio is controlled by information programmed into the ECU.
2. Closed Loop air/fuel ratio is adjusted by the ECU based on information supplied by the oxygen sensor.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level. When the air/fuel mixture
combustion temperature is high, a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is generated in the combustion chamber.
Therefore, this system recirculates part of emission gas from the exhaust port of the cylinder head to the combustion
chamber through the intake manifold to decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion temperature, resulting in reduction of
NOx.
The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve so as not to decrease the driveability.
When the engine coolant temperature is low, when the engine is at idle or when a wide open throttle operation is

performed, the EGR valve is kept closed, achieving no EGR.
In normal vehicle operation performed after warming up of the engine, the EGR valve is opened to carry out EGR.
In addition, the engine control module monitors the EGR system and illuminates the check engine/malfunction
indicator lamp to let the driver know that there is a malfunction.

INSPECTION
EGR SYSTEM CHECK
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EGR solenoid.
2. Regarding the engine in cold and hot conditions, check the condition of vacuum when a rapid racing has been
performed by opening the throttle valve quickly.

When engine is cold

Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition

Cardiagn.com
Open quickly No vacuum will generate
(Remained as barometric pressure).

When engine is hot

Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition
Open quickly It will momentarily rise over 13 kPa (3.9 in.Hg)

3. Disconnect the three-way terminal.

4. Connect the hand vacuum pump directly to the EGR valve.
5. Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is unstable when a vacuum of 29 kPa (8.7 in.Hg) or higher is applied
during idling.

EGR VALVE
1. Remove the EGR valve and check for sticking, carbon deposits, etc. If such conditions exist, clean with solvent to
ensure tight valve seat contact.
2. Connect a manual vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
3. Apply a vacuum of 67 kPa (9.7 psi) and check air tightness of diaphragm.

4. Blow in air from one passage of the EGR to check condition as follows.
Vacuum Normal condition
7 kPa (1.0 psi) or less Air does not blow through
 23 kPa (3.3 psi) or more Air blows through

When installing the EGR valve, use a new gasket and tighten to the specified torque.

Tightening torque : 19-28 Nm (190-280 kg!cm, 14-20 lb!ft)

EGR PORT VACUUM CHECK

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle body EGR vacuum nipple and connect a hand vacuum pump to the
nipple.

Cardiagn.com
2. Start the engine and check to see that, after raising the engine speed by racing the engine, vacuum remains fairly
constant.

INSPECTION

When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make a mark so that it can be reconnected at original position.

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve.

2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the white-striped vacuum hose was connected.
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the EGR control solenoid
valve and without applying voltage.
