gas from going into the atmosphere. This system
burns these gases after moving them to the intake Coil resistance (Ω) 16 [20℃(68℉)]
manifold (Closed Crankcase Ventilation Type).
• Evaporative emission control system prevents
evaporative gas going into the atmosphere. This
system burns the gases at appropriate engine
operating condition after gathering it in the canister.
• Exhaust emission control system converts the three
pollutants hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless
substances by using the 3-way catalytic converter.

Evaporative Emission Control System
Description
Evaporative Emission Control System prevents fuel
vapor stored in fuel tank from vaporizing into the
atmosphere. When the fuel evaporates in the fuel tank,
the vapor passes through vent hoses or tubes to the
canister filled with charcoal and the canister temporarily
holds the vapor in the charcoal. If ECM determines to
draw the gathered vapor into the combustion chambers
during certain operating conditions, it will use vacuum in
intake manifold to move it.
Schematic Diagram

SPBEC9110L
Canister
Canister is filled with charcoal and absorbs evaporated
vapor in fuel tank. The gathered fuel vapor in canister is
drawn into the intake manifold by the ECM/PCM when
appropriate conditions are set.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is installed in the
passage connecting canister and intake manifold. It is a
duty type solenoid valve and is operated by ECM/PCM
signal.
To draw the absorbed vapor into the intake manifold, the
ECM/PCM will open the PCSV, otherwise the passage
remains closed.

Fuel Filler Cap

A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel filler cap
reduces the chances of incorrect installation, which
would seal the fuel filler. After the gasket on the fuel filler
cap and the fill neck flange contact each other, the
ratchet produces a loud clicking noise indicating the seal
has been set.

Exhaust Emission Control System
Description
Exhaust emissions (CO, HC, NOx) are controlled by a
combination of engine modifications and the addition of
special control components.
Modifications to the combustion chamber, intake
manifold, camshaft and ignition system form the basic
control system.
These items have been integrated into a highly effective
system which controls exhaust emissions while
maintaining good drivability and fuel economy.

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 ECM.
2. Closed Loop air/fuel ratio is adjusted by the ECM
based on information supplied by the oxygen sensor.
Catalytic Converter
Description
The catalytic converter of the gasoline engine is a three
way catalyst. It oxidizes carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons (HC), and separates oxygen from the
oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
There are two types of three-way catalyst; Palette type
and Monolith type.

to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake
port and improve the changing effect.

structures of the housing vane to the rotor vane.
2. If the CVVT is held a certain control angle, to hold
this state, oil is replenished as much as oil leaks from
the oil pump.
