Fuel and Emissions System Description - Idle Control System/Fuel Supply System
Idle Control System
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls current to the throttle actuator to maintain the correct idle speed.
Brake Pedal Position Switch
The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM/PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch signals the ECM/PCM when the power steering load is high.
Fuel Supply System
Fuel Cutoff Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at engine speeds over 1,000 rpm (min-1). Fuel cutoff control also occurs when the engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm (min-1), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. When the vehicle is stopped, the ECM/PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm (min-1). Engine speed of fuel cut is lower on a cold engine.
Fuel Pump Control
When the ignition is turned on, the ECM/PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) which feeds current to the fuel pump for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel system. With the engine running, the ECM/PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) and feeds current to the fuel pump. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) which cuts current to the fuel pump.
PGM-FI Main Relay 1 and 2
PGM-FI main relay 1 (C) is energized whenever the ignition switch is ON (II) to supply battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power to the injectors, and power for PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP). PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) is energized to supply power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), and when the engine is cranking or running.
