Description and operation

Description

Emissions Control System consists of three major systems.

•	Crankcase Emission Control System prevents blow-by gas from releasing into the atmosphere. This system recycles gas back into the intake manifold (Closed Crankcase Ventilation Type).

•	Evaporative Emission Control System prevents evaporative gas from releasing into the atmosphere. This system burns gas 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.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Suspect Area
Engine will not start or stuggle to start	Vapor hose damaged or disconnected
Engine stuggle to start	Malfunction of the Purge Control Solenoid Valve
Rough idle or engine stalls	Vapor hose damaged or disconnected
Rough idle or engine stalls	Malfunction of the PCV valve
Rough idle	Malfunction of the Evaporative Emission Control System
Excessive oil consumption	Positive crankcase ventilation line clogged
