General information
Health risk
Engine oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation, and dermatitis. In addition.
used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities should
be provided.
Health protection precautions
1. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils.
particularly used engine oils.
2. Wear protective clothing. including impervious
gloves where practicable.
3. Do not put oily rags in pockets.
4. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants. with oil.
5. Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
unwashable clothing and oil impregnated footwear.
6. First aid treatment should be obtained immediately
for open cuts and wounds.
7. Use barrier creams, applying before each work
period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
8. Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed !skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin
oils which have been removed.
9. Do not use fuel, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners, or solvents for washing skin.
10. If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice.
11. Where practicable, degrease components prior to
handling.
12. Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection
should be worn. for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eve-wash facility should be
provided.
See also UK Health and Safety Executive
Cautionary Notice SHW 397 'Effects of Mineral Oil on
the Skin'.
Environmental protection precautions
It is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into water courses.
The burning of used engine oil in small space
heaters or boilers is not recommended unless emission
control equipment is fitted. In cases of doubt check
with the Local Authority.
Dispose of used oil through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or
to the waste oil reclamDtion trade. If in doubt, contact
the Local Authority for advice or disposal facilities.
Exhaust gases
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide {COi.
which is odourless and invisible but very poisonous.
10/88
Printed in England
(c) Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 19B8
Operating the air conditioning system in a confined
space increases the danger of these gases entering the
car.
Ideally, engines should be run in the open where the
exhaust gases can discharge into the atmosphere.
However. when running engines within an enclosed
working area, the exhaust gases must always be
removed safely.
Refer to further text within this manual regarding
the use of exhaust gas extraction hoses and equipment.
Fuel
Fuel may contain up to 5% of benzene as an anti-knock
additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health (being
carcinogenic) therefore, all contact should be kept to an
absolute minimum, particularly inhalation.
Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to allow
a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly ventilated
areas. Therefore. any work should be carried out in a
well ventilated area.
Fuel vapour is an irritant to the eyes and lungs, and
if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea,
headache. and depression.
Fuel liquid is an irritant to the eyes and skin and may
cause dermatitis following prolonged or repeated
contact.
When it becomes necessary to carry out work
involving the risk of contact with fuel. particularly for
prolonged periods, it is advisable to wear protective
clothing including safety goggles, gloves, and aprons.
If there is contact with fuel the following
emergency treatment is advised.
Ingestion (swallowing)
Do not induce vomiting. Give the patient milk to drink (ii
none is available water can be given). The main hazard
after swallowing fuel is that some of the liquid may get
into the lungs. Send the patient to hospital immediately.
Eves
Wash with a good supply of clean water for at least 10
minutes.
Skin contact
Immediately drench the affected parts of the skin with
water. Remove contaminated clothing and then wash all
contaminated skin with soap and water.
Inhalation (breathing in vapour)
Move the patient into the fresh air. Keep the patient
warm and at rest. If there is loss of consciousness give
artificial respiration. Send the patient to hospital.
High voltage levels
Dangerously high voltage levels are present in an
electronic ignition system. These levels are not only
TSD4737
A2-1
present in individual components, but also in the wiring
looms, plugs, sockets, and test connections.
Both primary and secondary circuits are sut>Ject to
these high voltages.
Therefore, whenever the system is switched on do
not touch any components/circuits contained within the
ignition system.
Always wear thick rubber gloves and use insulated
tools when working on the system with the ignition
switched on.
Workshop precautions
Electrical
Always ensure that the battery master switch is turned
to the OFF position or the battery is disconnected,
before disconnecting or connecting any electrical
components. In addition, note the following.
Never disconnect the battery or switch off the
battery master switch when the engine is running.
Always ensure correct polarity when making cable
connections.
It is recommended that when carrying out tests on
the car wiring, a good quality multi-meter is used.
Never use generator type meters.
Do not use a test lamp on circuitry that contains
electronic components, such as the ignition system.
Before using test equipment always read the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not pierce any electrical leads or looms with test
probes, etc.
Do not remove the high tension lead situated
between the ignition coil and distributor when the
engine is running.
Ensure that no arcing takes place between
electrical connections.
Do not supply more than 16 volts direct current to
the ignition system.
Fire
Fuel is highly flammable, therefore great care must be
exercised wheneve, the fuel system is opened li.e. pipes
or unions disturbed) or the fuel is removed from the
system. Always ensure that 'no smoking' signs and
CO 2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguishers are placed in the
vicinity of the vehicle.
Always ensure that the battery is disconnected
before opening any fuel lines.
If the fuel is to be removed from the tank, ensure
that it is siphoned into a suitable covered container.
absorbent cloth around the joint and carefully slacken
the pipe nut to release any pressurized fuel from the
system. Tighten the pipe nut. Always dispose of the
cloth carefully, in accordance with the prevailing Health
and Safety regulations.
Cleanliness
It is extremely important to ensure maximum
cleanliness whenever work is carried out on the system.
The main points are.
1. Jn order to prevent the ingress of dirt, always clean
the area around a connection before dismantling a joint.
2. Having disconnected a joint (either fuel or air)
always blank off any open connections as soon as
possible.
3. Any components that require cleaning should be
washed in white spirit and dried, using compressed air.
4. If it is necessary to use a cloth when working on the
system, ensure that it is lint-free.
General
Before working on the car, always ensure that the
parking brake is firmly applied. the gear range selector
level is in the park position, and fuse A6 is removed from
fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard.
A number of the nuts. bolts. and setscrews used in
the fuel injection system are dimensioned to the metric
system. it is important therefore, that when new parts
become necessary the correct replacements are
obtained and fitted.
Terminology
It should be noted that not all of the components listed
are fitted to any one particular model or model year of
car. This section merely explains the abbreviation and
operation of the specialist components used in the
systems.
Air flow sensor plate
Balances the air flow entering the induction system
with fuel pressure acting on the control piston.
Air flow sensor potentiometer
Monitors the quantity of air flowing into the engine.
The information is conveyed to the ECU as a
measure of engine load and is one of the elements used
in the calculation of ignition timing and fuelling
requirements.
Air pressure transducer (APT)
Fuel
Pressure
The fuel system contains fuel that may be under high
pressure. Therefore, to reduce the risk of possible injury
and fire, always ensure that the system is depressurized
by one of the following methods before commencing
any work that necessitates opening the system.
1. Allow the pressure to fall naturally by switching off
the engine and allowing the vehicle to stand for a
minimum of four hours before opening the system.
2. Clean the inlet connection to the fuel filter. Wrap an
The air pressure transducer monitors induction manifold
pressure. It passes this information to the relevant ECU
so that the necessary electrical corrections can be
made to the relevant control system.
On cars fitted with one APT the unit provides
instantaneous boost pressure information for the fuel
injection and ignition control systems. It also supplies
the information to the boost control system.
On cars fitted with two APTs one assembly is
connected to the fuel injection system and the second
unit is connected to the boost control system.

Air pump clutched pulley
The air injection system is de-activated whenever the
coolant temperature is above 33°C (91 °F) or engine
speed exceeds 3000 + 100 rev/min. This is achieved by
dis-engaging the air pump clutch.
Air switching valve
The air switching valve comprises a vacuum operated
valve with an integral control solenoid.
At coolant temperatures below 33 ° C (91 ° Fl the
solenoid is energized. The resulting vacuum then
applied to the diaphragm chamber opens the v.ilve and
allows injected air to pass to the exhaust manifold.
At coolant temperatures above 33°C (91 °F)
the solenoid is de-energized, the vacuum signal is
inhibited and the injected air is re-routed to the engine
air intake system.
Auxiliary air valve
Allows calibrated increases in idle circuit air flow and
hence engine speed. with closed throttle plates. This
provides the correct mixture strength during cold
starting and warm-up periods.
Check valves
A check valve is fitted into the air injection pipe to each
exhaust manifold. The valves prevent the back flow of
exhaust gas.
Cold start injector
Sprays finely atomized fuel during engine cranking (cold
engine) into the induction manifold. The amount and
duration of cold start injector operation are dependent
upon the coolant temperature.
Control piston
Cylindrical plunger type of valve that moves vertically in
the fuel distributor. A precision machined edge on the
piston opens the metering slits in the fuel distributor.
Coolant temperature sensor
The coolant temperature sensor is located in the
thermostat housing. The internal resistance of the
sensor changes with the engine coolant temperature.
To achieve the correct starting and warm-up
characteristics at low operating temperatures, the ECU
uses the signal it receives from the coolant temperature
sensor to compute the correction factors for the ignition
timing and the fuel injection system electro-hydraulic
actuator.
Crankshaft reference sensor
Initiation of A 1 ignition and subsequent engine firing
order occurs when the front damper mounted reference
pin passes the crankshaft reference sensor.
Differential pressure valves
One for each cylinder. maintains the correct pressure of
fuel at the metering slits.
Dump valve
Allows compressed air to recirculate back through the
10/88

air intake. Closure of the dump valve allows induction
manifold pressure (boost) to build-up during increasing
engine load. to values predetermined by the boost
control system.
The dump valve also acts as a relief valve if the
boost pressure exceeds a preset level.
Electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA)
Mounted on the fuel distributor, the electro-hydraulic
actuator replaces the warm-up regulator used on KJetronic systems. A positive increase in current (mA)
supply to the EHA results in a corresponding increase in
fuel flow and hence fuel mixture strength.
On 1989 model year cars fitted with the
KE3-Jetronic fuel injection system, it is also possible to
have a negative increase in the supply to the EHA which
will 'lean off' the mixture.
Engine running sensor
Inhibits the supply of power to the fuel pump unless the
engine is running. The only exception being one by-pass
to the circuit, which allows the fuel pump to operate
when the engine is being 'cranked' by the starter motor.
Engine speed sensor
The signal generated by the rotation of the four
segment timing wheel is sensed by the engine speed
sensor. The information is then conveyed to the KMotronic ECU for calculation of the engine speed.
Exhaust gas recirculation valve IEGRI
The operation of this valve is vacuum controlled.
A proportion of exhaust gas is recirculated from the
exhaust system, through the EGR valve, into the
induction manifold where it mixes with intake air.
Exhaust gas wastegate
Regulates the flow of exhaust gas to the turbocharger
turbine when either boost pressure or engine detonation
reach predetermined levels. The boost control system
actuates wastegate control.
Four segment timing wheel
The four segment timing wheel has four equal length
segments and gaps. Angular relationship of segment to
gap is 54° and 36° respectively, and produces a 60:40
ratio signal for engine speed calculation.
Fuel accumulator
When the engine is stopped, the small volume of fuel
held in the accumulator (under pressure from the
accumulator spring) maintains pressure in the primary
fuel circuit to ensure good starting response during the
engine 'cranking' operation !i.e. fuel is immediately
available).
Fuel cooler
The fuel cooler is located in the left-hand side of the
engine compartment. It uses air conditioning system
refrigerant to cool the fuel prior to its return to the tank.
TSD 4737
A2-3
Fuel distsibutor
Apportions the fuel equally to the injectors adjacent to
each engine cylinder.
Fuel pressure regulator
Maintains a constant primary circuit fuel pressure.
When the engine is stopped. the fuel pressure regulator
allows the system pressure to drop rapidly to a value
preset by the fuel accumulator li.e. just below the
injector valve operating pressure). It also seals the
return line from the lower chambers of the differential

Fault diagnosis
This fault diagnosis section includes.
Basic system test procedure.
Electrical and Electronic components fault diagnosis.
Mechanical components fault diagnosis.
It is important that fault finding is carried out in the
sequence given. Electrical and electronic faults can
exhibit symptoms similar to mechanical faults.
Therefore an incorrect diagnosis may be made which
could result in both lengthy and costly repairs.
Often, a mechanical fault has sufficiently well
defined symptoms to enable a very rapid diagnosis to
be made.
The basic fault finding procedure is as follows,
noting thal any faults found in one system should be
rectified before movinu on to the next stage of the
procedure.
1. Carry out a compression test on the engine
cylinders (to inhibit the operation of the system during
this test, remove the fuel injection fuse).
2. Check that the ignition system is operating
satisfactorily (refer to Chapter E).
3. Ensure that the vacuum system is free from leaks
(see fig. 82-23).
4. Ensurn that the E.G.R. system is free from leaks
(refer to Chapter F).
5. Ensure that all auxiliary air hoses and crankcase
breather system hoses are free from leaks.
6. Check that the solenoid valves and their thermal
switches are working correctly.
7. Test the basic K-Jetronic system for correct
operation (see fig. 82-23).
8. Test the 'closed loop' system for correct operation
(refer to Fault diagnosis flow chart).
Note Procedures 1. 2. 3. 5. and 7 apply to all cars. In
addition. a combination of procedures 4, 6, and
8 also apply to cars produced to an Australian.
Japanese. or North American specification.
Before commencing any fault diagnosis or work
on the fuel injection system ensure that the workshop
safety precautions are fully understood.
During manufacture, the components of the fuel
injection system are precisely adjusted in order to
comply with the relevant emission control regulations.
Therefore, alterations to any of the settings should not
normally be necessary.
Diagnosing and correcting faults
The workshop procedure number refers to the fault
diagnosis chart for the basic K-Jetronic system given in
figure 62-23.
10/87
Procedure 1 Induction system air leaks
Visually check all vacuum hoses. pipes. and clips for
damage or looseness that may allow an air leak into
the induction system.
Check the entire induction system for air leaks with
the engine running. Use a suitable length of rubber
hose as a listening aid. The leak will often be heard as a
high pitched hiss or whistle.
Procedure 2 Metering control unit lever sticking
1. Ensure that the engine temperature is above 20°c
(68°F).
2. Remove the air intake elbow from the inlet to the
control unit.
3. Apply control pressure to the control piston in the
fuel distributor for approximately 10 seconds (refer to
page 82-32).
4. Press the air sensor plate slowly downwards to its
ml'lximum open position. The resistance to this
movement should I.le uniform over the whole range of
travel. Allow the air sensor plate to return to its rest
position and repeat the operation.
If the resistance to the air sensor plate movement
is uniform over the whole range of travel. the metering
unit is not sticking.
Note Whenever the airflow sensor plate is depressed
fuel will be sprayed into the engine. Therefore,
the sensor plate should only be depressed the
minimum number of times to carry out this
operation.
5. Should the resistance to air sensor plate movement
be greater in the rest position, it could be due to the
plate being either out of position or bent.
6. If the condition described in Operation 5 is
confirmed, depressurize the fuel system (refer to
page 82-15). Then, press the plate fully downwards and
allow it to spring back to the rest position. It should
return freely and bounce downwards slightly from the
spring loaded stop at least once.
7. Should a resistance be confirmed in Operation 6,
remove the air sensor plate and repeat the operation, If
this alleviates the resistance, the air sensor plate is
fouling the sides of the air funnel and should be
centralized (refer to Procedure 3) or the air funnel may
be deformed.
8. If there is still a resistance to the movement of the
lever, it could be due to contamination within the fuel
distributor barrel or occasional binding in the lever
mechanism.
9. Contamination within the fuel distributor can be
checked by separating the fuel distributor from the
control uni I and withdrawing the control piston for
inspection.
Remove the screws situated on top of the fuel
distributor. Lift off the fuel distributor (resistance will
be felt due to the rubber sealing ring). bend back the

piston retaining tabs and withdraw the piston.
Handle the control piston with care to ensure that
it does not become damaged.
Do not handle the control piston on its working
surfaces.
10. Thoroughly clean the control piston in clean fuel.
11. Fit the control piston to the fuel distributor. Ensure
that the spring is fitted above the piston.
Bend the retaining tabs so that the piston cannot
fall out. Ensure that the rubber sealing ring situated
between the fuel distributor and the mixture control
unit is in good condition. Lubricate the rubber sealing
ring with suitable grease and fit the distributor,

ensuring that the retaining screws are evenly tightened.
If a resistance is still noticeable, a new fuel
distributor assembly should be fitted to the mixture
control unit.
12. After fitting the fuel distributor check the idle
mixture strength.
Procedure 3 Positioning the air flow sensor plate
1. Remove the air inlet elbow from above the air
sensor plate.
2. Check that the sensor plate is flat and that it wilt
pass through the narrowest part of the air funnel
without fouling.
3. If necessary, loosen the plate securing screw.
4. Insert the guide ring RH 9609 whilst retaining the
sensor plate in the zero movement position. This will
prevent the sensor plate from being forced downwards
as the centring guide ring is being installed.
5. With the centring guide ring in position, tighten the
retaining screw. Carefully remove the centring guide
ring.
6. Apply control pressure to the control piston in the
fuel distributor for approximately 10 seconds (refer to
page 82-32).
7. The upper edge of the sensor plate adjacent to the
fuel distributor, should be flush with the beginning of
the upper cone as shown in figure 62-25.
Note It is permissible to leave the top edge of the air
sensor plate protruding into the upper cone by a
maximum of 0,5 mm (0.020 in). The lower edge
of the plate (which is chamfered) must not
project upwards outside the short cylindrical
part of the air funnel, at any point on its
circumference.
8. If the air sensor plate is positioned too high.
remove the fuel distributor and carefully tap the .9 uide
pin lower using a mandrel and a small hammer (see
fig. 82-26).
Note This adjustment must be made very carefully.
ensuring that the guide pin is not driven too low.
Repeated adjustment can loosen the guide pin.
Serious damage to the engine could result if the
pin should fall out.
Procedure 4 Checking the operation of the auxiliary air
valve
1. Ensure that the engine is cold.
2. Disconnect the electrical plug at the auxiliary air
valve.
3. Disconnect the inlet and outlet rubber hoses from
the auxiliary air valve.
4. Using a flashlight and mirror, observe the position
of the hole in the blocking plate (see fig. B2-27J. It
should be partially uncovered. If the blocking plate
completely closes the air passage, fit a new auxiliary
air valve.
5. If the air passage way is open, connect the
electrical plug to the auxiliary air valve.
6. Apply electrical power to the heater in the auxiliary
air valve (refer to page 82-33).
7. The air passage through the valve should be
completely closed within four to five minutes.
10/87
82-22
8.
If the blocking plate does not close, check the
electrical power supply to the auxiliary air valve. The
minimum vollage at the connector should be 11.5 volts.
9. Finally, using an ohmmeter, check the heating coil
in the auxiliary air valve for an open circuit. Should the
coil prove faulty, fit a new air valve.
Procedure 5 Checking the operation of the primary fuel
circuit
Fuel delivery
1. Fit the pressure tester RH 9612 (Bosch Number
KOEP 1034).
2. Open the valve screw(s) on the pressure tester
valve block.
3. Disconnect the fuel return line to the fuel tank at
the fuel distributor. Using a 'firtree' type nipple and nut
(SPM 1390/1). connect one end of an auxiliary fuel
return hose to the connection. Hold the other end of the
hose in a graduated measuring container capable of
holding at least 2 litres (3.5 Imp pt).
4. Disconnect the electrical plug from the warm-up
regulator and the auxiliary air valve.
5. Apply electrical power to operate the fuel pump for
30 seconds (refer to page 82-33). At least 1000 ml of
fuel should be delivered into the measuring container.
6. If the delivery quantity is satisfoctory, check the
primary system pressure. However, if the delivery
quantity is below the prescribed amount proceed as
follows, checking the fuel pump delivery after each
operation.
7. Check the voltage at the fuel pump. When the
pump is operating this should be 11.5 volts.
8. Check the fuel lines for blockage.
9. Fit a new main fuel filter.
10. Fit a new fuel pump.
11. After establishing that the fuel delivery is correct
rerr.ove the test equipment.
12. Connect the fuel return pipe to the fuel distributor.
Primary system pressure
To carry out this test, fit the pressure tester RH 9612
(Bosch Number KDEP 1034).
1. Close the valve screw on the pressure tester threeway block. If the valve block has two screws, this is the
screw situated adjacent to the warm-up regulator
connection.
2. Apply electrical power to operate the fuel pump
(refer to page 82-33). The pressure !Jauge will now
show primary system pressure which should be
between 5,2 bar and 5,8 bar (75.4 lbf/in 2 and 84.1 lbf/in 2 ) .
3. If the primary system pressure is too low.
a. Check the fuel supply.
b. Check the setting of the pressure regulator and
service if necessary.
4. If the primary system pressure is too high.
a. Check for a restriction in the return line to the fuel
tank.
b. Check the setting of the pressure regulator and
service if necessary.
Procedure 6 Checking the control pressure
Control pressure is determined by the warm-up
10/87
Printed in England

Fig. B2-27
Checking the auxiliary air valve
regulator and governs the basic mixture strength.
The warm-up regulator contains a temperature
sensitive bi-metal. Therefore, the control pressure
depends upon the warm-up regulator bi-metal
temperature.
On cars produced to Australian, Japanese, and
North American specifications, the warm-up regulator
contains two temperature sensitive bi-metals and an
aneroid capsule lsee fig. 82-18) which responds to
atmospheric pressure.
The control pressure depends upon the warm-up
regulator bi-metal temperature and on certain cars it is
further influenced by atmospheric pressure (which is
reduced with increasing altitude).
Fit the pressure tester RH 9612 (Bosch Number
KDEP 1034).
Cold control pressure
The engine must be cold to enable this test to be
properly carried out. The engine must not have been
run for at least four hours; preferably left overnight.
The ambient temperature at the time of the test
must also be known.
1. Disconnect the electrical plug situated on the
warm-up regulator.
2. Apply control pressure to the system (refer to page
B2-32).
3. Open the valve(s) on the pressure tester valve
block. Note that the pressure tester gauge will show
cold control pressure.
4. Refer to figure 82-28 for the correct cold control
pressure.
Examples of readings for vehicles fitted with
altitude compensation are as follows.
If the test site is at sea level the correct control
pressure shou Id be within ± 0,2 bar (3 lbf/i n 1 ) of the
TSO 4737
B2-23
solid line (corresponding to an atmospheric pressure
of 984 millibars).
Example
With an atmospheric pressure of 984 millibars or above
and an ambient air temperature of 20°c (68°F). the cold
control pressure should be between 2,0 bar and 2,4 bar
(29 lbf/in 2 and 34.8 lbf/in 2 ).
If the test site is at altitude [i.e. above 600 m (1968
ft)), determine the atmospheric pressure at the time of
the test. This should be obtained from a local weather
station or airport that is at the same altitude, or from a
reliable mercury barometer reading taken at the test
site.
The control pressure should be within ± 0,25 bar
(3.6 lbf/in?) of the value corresponding to the
atmospheric pressure.
Example
With an atmospheric pressure of 838 millibars and an
ambient air temperature of 20°C (68°F), the cold control

Warm control pressure
1. Connect the electrical plug to the warm-up
regulator.
2. Apply control pressure to the system (refer to page
82-32).
3. Ensure that the valve(s) on the valve block of the
pressure tester is open.
4. The control pressure should begin to rise. When it
has stabilized, the warm control pressure should be 3,6
bar (52.2 lbf/in') ±0,15 bar (±2.2 lbf/in1 ). This should
take no more than one minute at 20°C (68°F).
5. On vehicles produced hl an Australian, Japanese.
or North American specification (i.e. vehicles fitted
with altitude compensation), refer to figure 82-30 for
the correct warm control pressure at the corresponding
test site altitude.
6. If the pressure is incorrect, check that there is an
electrical feed to the warm-up regulator. If the electrical
feed is correct the warm-up regulator is faulty and
should be replaced.

To carry out a basic functiona I test on the altitude
compensation device at sea level, connect the Mityvac
pump RH 12495 to the breather connection on the
warm-up regulator and evacuate the body (see
fig. B2·29).
Ensure that the control pressure rises as the
pressure with in the warm-up regulator decreases.
If the cold control pressure is incqrrect fit a new
warm-up regulator.

Procedure 7 Checking the fuel system for leaks
1. Fit the pressure tester RH 9612 (Bosch Number
KDEP 1034).
Ensure that the valve(s) on the pressure tester
valve block is open .
2. Ensure that the engine temperature is between
30°C and 50°C (86"F and 122°F).
3. Apply control pressure to the system (refer to page
82-32).
4. Allow one minute for warm control pressure to be
registered on the gauge of the pressure tester.
5. Switch off the ignition.
6. Note the time taken for the pressure to fall to zero
and compare this time with the data given in figure
82-32.
7. If the pressure drops too quickly, repeat the test
with the control pressure circuit disconnected. To carry
out this test, close the valve on the pressure tester valve
block (adjacent to the warm-up regulator connection
on the two valve type) and repeat the test given in
Operations 2 to 6 inclusive.
Should the pressure loss now be acceptable, there
is a leak either
a. Externally from the control circuit pipes and/or
pipe connections.
b. At the push valve situated within the primary
system pressure regulator. This indicates that the
rubber sealing rings are defective and should be
changed.
2/90
B2-24
~
~
Should the pressure loss remain outside the
acceptable limits. lhe leak is in the primary fuel circuit
and may be due to.
a. The sealing ring in the primary system pressure
regulator being defective and indicating that the rubber
sealing rings in the assembly should be changed.
b. The cold start injector leaking.
c.
A faulty non-return valve in the fuel pump outlet.
d. Leaking accumulator diaphragm.
e. An external leak from one of the fuel system pipes .
f.
One or more of the injectors leaking.
If an injector leak is suspected, switch on the
ignition to restore the system pressure then slightly
depress the air sensor plate. If the pressure reading
drops continuously with the sensor plate depressed an
injector is leaking. Remove the sparking plugs for
inspection, the plug removed from the cylinder having
the sticking injector will often be found in a sooty
condition.
Fig. B2·29
Procedure 8 Checking the injectors
1. Remove the injectors from the engine.
2. Connect the injector lo the test equipment RH 9614
(Bosch Number KDJE 7452). see figure 62-34.
Opening pressure
3. Bleed the discharge tube by moving the operating
lever several times with the union slackened. Tighten
the union.
4. Check the injector for dirt by operating the lever
slowly at approximately one stroke per two seconds,
with the valve on the pressure gauge open.
If the pressure does not rise to between 1,0 bar and
1,5 bar (14.5 lbftin' and 21.75 lbf/in 2 ) the valve of the
injector has a bad leak. possibly caused by dirt. Attempt
to flush the valve by operating the lever rapidly several
times. If the injector valve does not clear, the injector
should be discarded.
5. Check the opening pressure of the injector by
closing the valve of the test equipment and bleeding
the injector by operating the test equipment lever
rapidly several times. Open the valve and move the
lever slowly at approximately one stroke per two
seconds, note the pressure-at which the injector begins
to spray.
The correct pressure for the injector to commP.nce
spraying is between 3,5 bar and 4.1 bar (50.75 lbftin'
and 59.45 lbfiin'). If this is not correct. fit a new injector.
Leakage test
Open the valve on the test equipment and slowly
operate the lever until the pressure reading is 0,5 bar
(7.25 lbf!in') below the previously determined opening
pressure.
7. Hold this pressure constant by moving the lever.
8. No drops should appear from the injector for the
next 15 seconds.
6.
Evaluation of spray and 'chatter' test
Operate the lever of the test equipment at one
stroke per second. as this is done the valve in the end
of the injector should be heard to 'chatter'.

5. Ensure that the engine is at normal operating
temperature.
6. If the complete tuning procedure is to be carried out.
the following sequence of operations is recommended.
a. Check the ignition timing (refer to Chapter E).
b. "Check the purge flow rate (refer to Chapter G).
c. Check the idle mixture strength.
d. • Check the operation of the E.G.R. system and the
air injection system (refer to Chapter FJ.
e. Check the engine idle speed.
Note The asterisk denotes a system only fitted to
certain cars.
Idle mixture strength - To set
The mixture strength must be checked with the engine
stabilized at its normal operating temperature and at
an ambient temperature of between 15"C and 30"C (59°F
and 86''F).
The engine oil filler cap must be open and the idle
speed set to 580 rev/min with the air conditioning
system switched on.
On cars fitted with a catalytic converter. disconnect
the oxygen sensor at the plug in the engine
compartment.
Note It is important that the test equipment used to set
the idle mixture strength meets the following
specification.
Accuracy - CO meter range 0% lo 2%
CO concentration within-+ 0·10/o
Rotational speed within J 10 rev/min.
1. On cars fitted with a catalytic converter. unscrew
the blank from the exhaust (situated in front of the
catalytic converter). Fit the sampling probe RH 9876
and connect it to the CO meter.
On cars not fitted with a catalytic converter, insert
the sample probe of the CO meter at least 600 mm
(24 in) into the exhaust system tailpipe.
On all cars, ensure that the CO meter used is fully
warmed-up and correctly adjusted according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Briefly accelerate the engine and allow it to return
to the idle speed.
The CO concentration ·should be as follows.
Cars fitted with
All other cars
a catalytic converter
0.5%-0.70/o
0.6%-0.8%
3. If the CO reading is outside the above range.
remove the tamperproof plug and blanking screw {if
fitted) from the fuel distributor (see fig. 82-49). Insert
the mixture adjusting tool RH 9608 and adjust the
mixture strength as follows.
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to richen the
mixture (higher CO % ) and anti-clockwise to weaken
the mixture (lower CO %).
Note Always approach the firm I setlinu from the weak/
lean side.
After making an adjustment. remove the adjusting
tool and temporarily blank the hole (failure to blank the
hole will result in an incorrect CO measurement).

Service adjustments
Preliminary checks
Before carrying out any tuning. the following basic
checks should be made.
A2211
Fig. 83-41
Electro-hydraulic actuator - removed
a. Check the condition of the sparking plugs.
b. Ensure that the throttle linkage is correctly set
(refer to Chapter K).
c. Ensure that the throttle position switch is
correctly set (refer to Chapter K).
d. Check all air hose connections for tightness.
e. Start the engine and visually check the fuel
system for leaks.
f.
Whilst the engine is running, check the entire
induction system for leaks (refer to this section,
Workshop procedure 2).
Before undertaking the tuning procedure the
following work should be carried out.
1. Connect an impulse tachometer to the engine in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Connect an ignition stroboscopic lamp to the
engine in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
3. Insert the sample probe of the CO meter as far as
possible into either exhaust tailpipe. Ensure that the
CO meter is fully warmed-up and correctly adjusted.
4. Ensure that the engine is at normal operating
temperature.
Tuning procedure
If the complete tuning procedure is to be carried out
the following sequence of operations is
recommended.
a. Check the fuel and ignition systems (refer to this
chapter).
b. Check the operation of the dump valve (refer to
Chapter D).
c. "Check the purge flow rate (refer to Chapter G).
d. Check the mixture strength (refer to this chapter).
e. Check the engine idle speed (refer to this chapter) .
Note The asterisk denotes a system only fitted to
certain cars.
Idle mixture strength- To set
Note It is important that the idle CO strength is
checked with the engine stabilized at normal
operating temperature and in an ambient
temperature range of 15°C to 30°C.
Also, during any idle CO measurement, the
crankcase must be completely sealed which means
the oil filler cap must be closed and the oil dipstick
pushed fully into position.
On cars fitted with a fuel evaporative emission
control system, disconnect the purge control line (see
Chapter G).
Note It is important that the test equipment used to set
the idle mixture strength meets the following
specification.
Accuracy - CO meter range 0% to 2%
CO concentration within ± O· 1%
Rotational speed within ± 10 rev/min.
1. Insert the sample probe of the CO meter as far as
possible into either exhaust tailpipe. Ensure that the
CO meter is fully warmed-up and correctly adjusted.
2. Set the engine speed to 580 rev/min (air
conditioning system switched on) using the idle by11/87
83-32
pass screw (see fig. 83-11 ).
Note To avoid rev/min fluctuations due to the air
conditioning compressor cycling in and out; it
is permissible to bridge out the system
thermostatic switch located in the evaporator
by using a length of cable and suitable
con nectars.
Ensure that the air conditioning function
switch is set to high and both temperature
selectors are on full cold. Open all windows/
doors. Only keep the thermostat bridged for a
maximum of 10 minutes, then remove the
bridge for at least five minutes.
Do not fot~et to remove the bridge cable
when the CO has been set.
3. Check that the CO concentration is within the
range 0.8% to 1.0%.
4. If the CO reading is outside the specified limits,
remove the tamperproof plug and blanking screw
from the fuel metering unit (see fig. B3-42).
5. Insert the mixture adjusting tool RH 9608 and
adjust the mixture strength as follows.
Turn the mixture adjusting tool clockwise to
richen the mixture (increase CO%) or anti-clockwise
to weaken the mixture (reduce CO%).
Note Always approach the final setting from the
lean/weak side.
After making an adjustment, remove the
adiusting tool and replace the blanking screw. Failure
to replace this screw will result in an incorrect CO
measurement.
6. If necessary reset the idle speed to 580 rev/min
using the idle by-pass screw. Briefly accelerate the
engine and re-check the idle CO% reading.
Repeat Operations 5 and 6 until the correct CO%
reading is achieved.
When correctly set, remove the sample probe
and fit a new tamperproof plug to the fuel metering
unit.
Connect the purge line if applicable.
Note Accurate setting of the idle CO is critical to
ensure satisfactory engine performance.
Because of this, it is recommended that a
final idle speed and CO check is carried out
immediately after road testing the motor car.
This is always the best time to take accurate CO
readings.

to Chapter G).
3. Ensure that the gear range selector lever is in the
park position.
4. Ensure that the automatic air conditioning system
is switched off.
5. Open the engine oil filler. Set the engine idle speed to
580 rev/min by turning the adjustment screw situated on
the side of the throttle body (see fig. B3-11 ).
6. Finally, check the operation of the idle speed
solenoid (refer to Workshop procedure 17).
7. Stop the engine and connect all necessary hoses
and cables.
1. To set the idle speed, ensure that the engine has
stabilized at its normal operating temperature. This
can be achieved by allowing the engine to run at idle
speed for at least 15 minutes after the thermostat has
opened. The opening of the thermostat can be
detected by a sudden rise in the tern peratu re of the
thermostat elbow pipe.
2. If a fuel evaporative emission control system is
fitted, disconnect the purge line at the restrictor, leave
Tamperproofing
Tamperproofing of the mixture strength adjusting
screw is carried out by screwing a small blanking plug
into the mixture strength adjusting screw access hole
(see fig. 83-42). above the actual adjusting screw.
A small black plastic plug should then be pressed
into position to complete the operation. If the plug is
fitted onto the end of a guide rod and then inserted, it
will assist in the fitting operation.

Section 84
Fuel injection and Ignition control system
K-Motronic
With the introduction of the 1989 model year
specification, turbocharged cars are equipped with a
Bosch K-Motronic engine management system.
The K-Motronic system brings together the
benefits of digital• fuel injection and ignition control
systems into a single electronic control unit (ECUl.
Other features of the system include cold start and
warm-up enrichment, idle speed regulation, and
automatic correction of any long term mixture
strength deviations.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters the K·
Motronic system also provides an 'on-board' self
diagnostic facility.
Note * Digital refers to an electronic data system
where the information used is in discrete or
quantized form (data in the form of digits), not
continuous as with an analogue system.
The exhaust emission control systems (if fitted!
include three catalytic converters (one warm-up
converter and twin main converters), and air injection.
The fuel evaporative emission control system (if
fitted) includes a charcoal absorption canister which
is purged during specific engine operating modes.
A crankcase emission control system is fitted to
all cars.
This section contains service information relating
specifically to the K-Motronic digital system. Details
for the other emission control systems are provided
within their respective chapter (refer to the Contents
page!.
K-Motronic digital engine management system
The engine is equipped with several sensors that
continuously monitor operating parameters such as
engine speed. coolant temperature. and load (see fig.
B4-19). The sensors are connected to a digital ECU
which is programmed with characteristic data for the
following functions, mixture strength control, ignition
timing, idle speed control, purging of the evaporative
emission control canister. and operation of the air
injection system.
A separate electronic control unit is used for the
boost pressure control system.
Fuel injection system
The Bosch KE3-Jetronic continuous fuel injection
system incorporates certain components from the
KE2-Jetronic system. In addition to digital electronic
correction of the air/fuel mixture, the system also
incorporates electronic regulation of the idle speed.
When the engine is running in the naturally
aspirated mode, fuel delivery is directly proportional
to intake air flow. During turbocharged modes of
operation, electronic correction factors provide boost
pressure compensation.
Control of the air/fuel ratio is provided by a
1/89
Printed in England
© Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1989
mixture control unit, comprising an air meter and a
fuel distributor (see fig. 84-2).
Multi-point, mechanical fuel injectors are fitted.
Electronic correction of the air/fuel ratio is
provided for start and warm-up phases of engine
operation.
To achieve compliance with strict emission
control regulations, cars fitted with catalytic
converters require adjustment to the air/fuel ratio
during part load engine operation. This is achieved by
using a 'closed-loop' (lambda) control system. In this
system a heated oxygen sensor measures the oxygen
content of the exhaust gases and continuously
adjusts the fuel flow to maintain a stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio.
Note Components within the system may look similar
to those used on other systems. However,
visual inspection should not be used to identify
replacement parts, as internal calibrations may
be different.
Air flow sensing
The air meter consists of an air venturi (cone) in
which moves an air flow sensor plate mounted on a
pivoted lever (see fig. 64-3).
When the engine is operating the sensor plate is
deflected into the air cone; the deflection being
dependent upon the volume of air passing through
the cone (i.e. throttle plates opening). The air deflects
the sensor plate until a state of hydraulic balance
exists; this being due to the force of the air pressure
acting across the sensor plate area and the primary
fuel pressure acting over the control piston area.
The weight of the air sensor plate and
connecting lever are balanced by a counterweight on
the fuel distributor side of the lever.
Any movement of the air sensor plate and lever
about the pivot pin is transmitted to the control
piston in the fuel distributor and the ECU by a
potentiometer.
The movement of the control piston and its
horizontal control edge (see fig. 84-51 either
increases or decreases the open area of the eight
metering slits (one for each engine cylinder) in the
fuel distributor.
Differential pressure valves (one for each
cylinder) located within the fuel distributor, maintain
a constant pressure drop across the metering slits.
The air flow sensor plate and the control piston
are operated by the same lever. Therefore, the rate of
basic fuel discharge is proportional to the deflection
of the air sensor plate within the calibrated cone, as
governed by throttle plate opening.
Idle CO (idle mixture strength) is set during
manufacture. Adjustment should not be necessary
but can be achieved by removing the tamperpronf

plug and rotating the idle mixture screw. The
tamperproof plug should then be replaced and no
further mixture adjustment should be necessary.
This basic adjustment alters the relationship of
the air flow sensor plate position to that of the
control piston in the barrel of the fuel distributor.
Fuel circuits
Fuel pressures within the KE3-Jetronic fuel circuit are
as follows.
6,2 bar to 6.4 bar
Primary pressure
(89.9 lbf/in 2 to 92.8 lbf/in2 )
Differential pressure
valves
5,7 bar to 5,9 bar
(lower chambers}
(82.65 lbf/in 2 to 85.55 lbf/in2 1
Fuel injector pressure 4,0 bar to 4, 1 bar
(58.0 lbf/in 2 to 59.4 lbf/in2 )
Primary fuel circuit
Primary fuel pressure is controlled by the fuel
pressure regulator (see figs. 84-4 and 84-9).
An electrically driven pre-pump, mounted inside
the fuel tank, supplies fuel to the inlet of the main
pump. Fuel delivery to the fuel distributor is then via
a pressure damper, a fuel accumulator, and a fine
mesh filter.
Fuel initially enters passages in the fuel
distributor where the pressure is held constant
(primary system pressure) by means of a pressure
regulator. Excess fuel from the regulator flows
through a fuel cooler (incorporated with the vehicle's
automatic air conditioning system) and a one-way
valve as it returns to the tank via the fuel return line.
In the fuel distributor, movement of the control
piston within the barrel allows metered fuel to pass
through the fuel distributor slits, to the upper side of
the diaphragm in each differential pressure valve
(see fig. 84-51.
The fuel entering the upper chamber of a
differential pressure valve. deflects the diaphragm
away from the open end of the injector fuel line and
thereby allows fuel to flow to the injector.
The fuel injectors have an opening pressure of
between 4,0 bar and 4,1 bar (58.0 lbf/in2 and 59.4
lbf/in2 ) and are designed to spray finely atomized fuel
under all operating conditions.
The primary fuel circuit also feeds fuel to provide
the hydraulic force that is applied above the control
piston. This provides the hydraulic balancing force for
the air load acting on the air sensor plate.
Primary fuel pressure is supplied to the cold start
injector and to the electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA).
When the engine is stopped, the fuel pressure
regulator allows system pressure to drop rapidly to a
pressure governed by the fuel accumylator. This is
just below fuel injector opening pressure.
The retention of fuel at this pressure during 'hot
soak' conditions minimizes fuel vaporization.
A sudden drop in fuel pressure when the engine
is stopped closes the injectors and prevents dieseling
(the tendency of an engine to continue 'running-on'

Location of the engine management
system K-Motronic ECU
The oxygen sensor will only exhibit this steep
cl1ange in signal output when a certain pre·
determined operating temperature is attained.
Therefore, to reduce the oxygen sensor's dependency
upon exhaust gas to maintain it at operating
temperature, the sensor is heated electrically, using a
ceramic heating rod fitted inside the zirconium
dioxide tube.
Following engine starting, particularly from cold.
it is not possible to exercise satisfactory 'closed-loop'
control. During these conditions the ECU provides
start, post·start, and warm-up signals until the sensor
reaches its operating temperature.
The ECU continually monitors the internal
resistance of the oxygen sensor. After starting a
warm engine. the ECU immediately operates in the
'closed-loop' mode, if the sensor resistance is less
than a specified threshold resistance.
If, during normal engine operation, the sensor
resistance does not oscillate about a check threshold
within a specified time period the ECU switches to
open loop mode. The output to the EHA is zero and
fuelling is controlled mechanically by the mixture
control unit. The 'CHECK ENGINE' warning lamp will
also illuminate.
Idle speed actuator (see fig. B4·24)
The idle speed actuator contains a rotary magnetic
drive, the armature of which is connected to a
rotating slide. This adjusts the cross sectional area of
the by-pass passage. The duty cycle from the ECU
produces a torque at the rotating armature which
acts against a return spring.
The by-pass passage is adjusted to maintain the
correct engine idle speed of 580±20 rev/min under all
normal operating conditions.
Output from the ECU to the idle speed actuator
is dependent upon the engine coolant temperature
such that a smooth idle quality can be achieved after
starting at low ambient temperatures. To compensate
for high frictional loads and warm-up functions, the
ECU is programmed to allow a slightly higher than
normal idle speed.

Engine speed sensor !see fig. B4-25l
The sensor is fitted into the cover below the timing
wheel. It is retained in position by a bracket which
extends from the left-hand rear engine mount. The
signal generated by the rotation of the four segment
timing wheel is received by the engine speed sensor
and conveyed to the K-Motronic ECU for calculation
of the engine speed.
Four segment timing wheel (see fig. 84-26)
The timing wheel is attached to the rear of the
crankshaft. It has four equal length segments around
its periphery, separated by four gaps. The gaps are
also of equal length but each one is longer than the
segments.
During each revolution of the crankshaft the
timing wheel sensor fitted at the rear of the engine,
detects four segment and gap combinations. This

Ignition distributor assembly (see fig. 64-28)
The tandem distributor assembly is mounted at the
rear of the engine. It is driven via a gear wheel from
the rear of the camshaft.
The assembly consists of two four pole ignition
distributor caps connected by a toothed drive belt. A
rotor arm in each cap distributes the high tension
from the ignition coils to the sparking plugs in
accordance with the firing order Al, A3, 83, A2, B2,
B1, A4, 84.
Ignition amplifier modules (see fig. B4-291
The two amplifier modules !group 1 and group 21 are
located adjacent to the bulkhead on the right-hand
side of the engine compartment.
The amplifiers (driver stages) provide the first
stage amplification of the low tension signals from
the K-Motronic ECU to the ignition coils.
Ignition coils (see fig. B4-29)
The two ignition coils (group 1 and group 21 are
located adjacent to the bulkhead on the right-hand
side of the engine compartment.
When the low tension to the primary winding is
interrupted by its amplifier, high tension is induced in
the coil secondary winding. This high tension is then
passed to the ignition distributor.

Electronic components
The theoretical wiring diagram shown in figure B4-30,
provides basic details of the electrical components
within the digital fuel injection and ignition control
systems.
Modes of operation
The K-Motronic engine management system combines
both the KE3 - Jetronic digital fuel injection system and
the EZ 58F digital ignition system into one common
electronic control unit (ECU).
External pin parameter coding enables the use of a
common K-Motronic ECU for all turbocharged cars,
regardless of whether or not they are fitted with
catalytic converters.

Stand current (pre-cranking)
Minimum engine speed to detect engine cranking is
30 rev/min. Hence, with the ignition on and an engine
cranking speed of less than 30 rev/min, the EHA is
energized with a stand current of 100 ± 2mA.
There is an audible buzz as both the pre and main
fuel pumps energize for approximately one second
when the ignition is switched on. This ensures
immediate fuel system charging and a pressurized fuel
feed at the fuel distributor inlet, to assist engine
starting.
It is important to note that the mixture control unit
air flow sensor plate should not be deflected, otherwise
fuel will be sprayed into the cylinder head induction
passages.
Stand current will remain constant whilst the
ignition is switched on.

2. Cold start injector function for 'hot' engine starting
When the engine coolant temperature approaches
100°C (212 °Fland an engine cranking period exceeds
1.8 seconds, the cold start injector is energized and
provides fuel injection into the induction manifold at a
10% duty cycle rate. This fuel flow supplements fuel
from the main injectors resulting from air sensor plate
deflection.
This feature provides hot engine starting assistance
during adverse operating conditions.
3. 'After start' cold start injector operation
At engine coolant temperatures below -16°C (3.2°FJ
further 'after start· assistance is provided by the cold
start injector. Time periods and cold start injector duty
cycles are preset within the K·Motronic ECU and
commence at the same time as the 'after start'
enrichment period provided by the EHA.

acceleration response (cars not fitted with catalytic
converters).
An instant functional check can be achieved by
'blipping' the throttle with the vehicle stationary. This
should result in corresponding pulses in mA readings
over the following range of engine coolant
temperatures.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters,
acceleration enrichment commences at an engine
coolant temperature of 16°C 13.2° F). coolant
temperatures below this result in higher levels of
acceleration enrichment.
On cars not fitted with catalytic converters. a small
amount of acceleration enrichment is present at engine
coolant temperatures above 60°C (140° Fl.
Below this value acceleration enrichment factors
increase with decreasing engine coolant temperatures
in a similar manner on all cars.
Effect of engine coolant temperature on the digital
ignition system
During the engine warm-up phase improved combustion
efficiency is achieved with additional ignition advance.
Refer to the ignition control system section for details.

Additional information when working on the KE3 Jetronic system
Acceleration enrichment
Acceleration enrichment is present when specific K·
Motronic engine management trigger thresholds are
exceeded, these are dependent upon the rate of air
sensor plate deflection. Once the threshold rate of air
sensor plate movement has been reached, an increase
in mA corresponding to acceleration enrichment
reaches its peak value (dependent upon engine coolant
ternperaturel and fades away within one second.
Due to the fast response time. accurate in-vehicle
measurements will not be possible under service
conditions. Therefore. the following information should
be used as approximate guidelines.
It is however, sufficient to say that failure of the
acceleration enrichment system can be detected by
either unacceptable flat spots during the engine warm·
up phase (cars fitted with catalytic converters) or poor
1. Do not start the engine unless the battery
connections are securely fastened.
2. Do not disconnect the battery from the vehicle
electrical system when the engine is running.
3. Do not charge the battery whilst it is installed in the
vehicle.
4. Always remove the K-Motronic ECU before carrying
out any electrical welding work.
5. Always ensure that all wiring harness plugs are
securely connected.
6. Do not disconnect or connect the wiring harness

ignition switched on.
7. If repeated or extended engine cranking periods are
required for a particular engine/vehicle diagnosis, the
electrical plug should be disconnected from the cold
start injector.

the risk of possible injury and fire, always ensure that
the system is depressurized using the following
method. before commencing any work that will entail
opening the system.
1. Clean the inlet connection to the fuel filter.
2. Wrap an absorbent cloth around the joint.
3. Carefully slacken the pipe nut to release any
pressurized fuel from the system.
4. Tighten the pipe nut.
5. Discard the absorbent cloth in accordance with
health and safety regulations.
Exhaust gases
When running turbocharged engines for prolonged
periods within enclosed working areas, always ensure
that the exhaust gases are removed safely.
Whilst direct exhaust gas ventilation is available in
some workshop areas, it is inevitable that extraction
hoses will have to be used in certain circumstances,
particularly when the vehicle is 'ramp bound'. In these
specific instances, the large flexible exhaust adapter
shrouds must be fitted to prevent a high level of
depression being applied to the exhaust turbine seal in
the turbocharger.
Under no circumstances should high depression
exhaust gas extraction units be applied directly to the
tailpipes.
Fault diagnosis
This fault diagnosis section includes.
Basic system test procedures
Electrical and electronic components fault diagnosis
Mechanical components fault diagnosis
'On-board' fault diagnosis coding (cars fitted with
catalytic convertersl.
It is important that fault finding is carried out in the
sequence given to prevent incorrect diagnosis which
could result in both lengthy and costly repairs.
Often, a mechanical fault has sufficiently well
defined symptoms to enable a very rapid diagnosis to be
made.
The basic fault finding procedure is as follows,
noting that any faults found in one system should be
rectified before moving onto the next" stage of the
procedure.
1. Check the integrity of all hose and electrical
connections. Tighten where necessary.
2. Check the condition of the sparking plugs.
3. Carry out a compression test on the engine
cylinders. Inhibit the operation of the fuel injection and
ignition systems during this test by removing the
respective fuses.
4. Start the engine.
On cars fitted with c.:italytic converters. turn the
ignition key from the LOCK to the RUN position and
observe that the 'Check Engine' warning panel is
illuminated. Continue to turn the key to start the engine.
As the engine starts check that the warning tamp
extinguishes. If the tamp remains illuminated, refer to
the 'on-board' diagnostic listing (see fig. B4-361.
5. Ensure that the engine is running on all eight
cylinders.
6. Allow the engine to fully warm-up, whilst noting the
following.
a. Check the fuel injection system for leaks.
b. Check that the vacuum system hoses and pressure
pipes are free from leaks.
c. Check that the crankcase emission control system
hoses are free from leaks.
d. Check the entire induction system for audible air
leaks, paying particular attention to components
downstream of the air flow sensor plate.
This is particularly important on cars fitted with
catalytic converters. in view of the systems ability to
learn and provide limited air leak compensation.
7. Ensure that the idle CO is correct by checking the
idle mixture strength.
8. Ensure that the idle speed actuator stabilizes the
engine idle speed at 580 ± 20 rev/min regardless of
load.
9. Carry out basic engine management system checks
to ensure that the fuel injection and ignition control
systems are functioning correctly.
During manufacture, components of the fuel
injection system are precisely adjusted in order to
comply with the relevant emission control regulations.
Therefore, alterations to any of the settings should not
normally be necessary.
Before commencing any fault diagnosis or work on
the fuel injection system, ensure that the workshop
safety precautions are fully understood.
Fuel injection and ignition system functional checks
The following series of functional checks are necessary
to ensure the correct definition of the ignition and fuel
systems ·maps'.
Always use a good quality digital multi-meter to
carry out the tests.
Note The checks must be carried out with the engine
stabilized at its normal operating temperature.
Throttle position switch • continuity check
1. With the engine switched off. disconnect the four
way electrical plug to the throttle position switch
(see fig. 04-371.
2. Always ensure that movement of the throttles is
controlled by the accelerator pedal for these tests.
Idle
3. Using the multi-meter, carry out a continuity test
across the black/pink and blue/purple cables from the
switch as follows.
4. With the throttles ctosed the multi-meter buzzer
should sound.
5. With the throttles fully open the buzzer should
not sound.
6. The switching point should be just off the idte
position and confirmed by an audible click.

7. Using the multi-meter. carry out a continuity test
across the black/pink and yellow/purple cables from the
switch as follows.

·on-board' diagnostic check
This procedure should be followed if
a) The 'Check Engine' warning panel situated on the
facia. illuminates during normal engine operation.
b) A routine 'on-board' diagnostic check is required.
Note There are four possible faults in the K·Motronic
engine management system that are not
externally registered by the illumination of the
'Check Engine· warning panel. These faults will
however, be revealed by a blink code during an
'on-board· diagnostic check.
Procedure
Initiate an ·on-board' diagnostic check to reveal any of
the listed fault codes that have been stored within the
K·Motronic ECU buffer RAM (random-access
memory).
1. Ensure that the usual workshop precautions are
carried out.
2. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position on the
switchbox. so that the 'Check Engine· warning panel
illuminates (see illustration A).
3. Depress the 'on·board' diagnostic button (see
illustration BJ for a minimum of 4 seconds and then
release.
4. Monitor the blink code on the 'Check Engine·
warning panel. after the initial period of 2.5 seconds
tamp on and 2.5 seconds lamp off. Refer to illustration
C for an example of the initial period of 'Check Engine'
warning panel operation, followed by the blink code
4.4.3.1.
5. Once a blink code has been initiated. it will keep
repeating the information (with initiation periods
identifying blink code commencement). until the ·on·
board' diagnostic button is depressed for another 4
seconds period.
This procedure must be repeated until all stored
blink codes have been extracted from the K·Motronic
ECU buffer RAM.
6. If there are no more fault codes stored, the
condition is identified by the unique code 1. 1 .1.1.
Warning panel on/off periods for this code are of 2.5
seconds duration.
7. To reset the buffer RAM following fault extraction
and/or rectification, isolate the vehicle battery using
the master switch located in the vehicle luggage
compartment (see illustration D). To ensure complete
K·Motronic ECU buffer RAM reset. the battery should
be switched off for at least 4 seconds.
8. If there are no faults stored, then the blink code
4.4.4.4. will register on the 'Check Engine' facia
warning panel.

Diagnosing and correcting faults
The workshop procedure number given before the title
of the operation refers t o the fault diagnosis chart for
the basic KE3 - Jetronic fuel injection system given in
f igure 84-34.
Before carrying out any tests. ensure that t he
battery is in a fully ch arged condition.
It should be noted that all components of the
sys tem (except the fuel injectors and cold start injector)
can be tested on the vehicle.
Procedure 1 Fuel pump and/or pre-pump not operating
correctly

damage or looseness that may allow an air leak into the
induction system.
Check the entire induction system for air leaks with
the engine running. Use a suitable length of rubber hose
as a listening tube. The leak will often be heard as a high
pitched hiss or whistle.
Procedure 3 Metering control unit lever sticking
1
Ensure that the engine temperature is above
20°C (68°F).
2. Remove the air intake elbow from the inlet to the
control unit.
3. Apply pressure to the control piston in the fuel
distributor for approximately 10 seconds (refer to page
8~22). Switch off the power to the fuel pumps.
4. Press the air sensor plate slowly downwards to its
maximum open position. The resistance to this
movement should be uniform over the whole range of
travel. Allow the air sensor plate to return to its rest
position and repeat the operation.
If the resistance to the air sensor plate movement is
uniform over the whole range of travel, the metering
unit lever is not sticking.
Note Always ensure that the fuel pumps are not
running before depressing the airflow sensor
plate. Otherwise. fuel will be sprayed into the
engine on each occasion the airflow sensor plate
is depressed.
5. Should the resistance to sensor plate movement be
greater in the rest position, it could be due to the plate
being either out of position or distorted due to impact
damage (caused by an engine misfire).
6. If the condition described in Operation 5 is
confirmed, depressurize the fuel system (refer to
page 84-2 7). Press the plate fully downwards and allow
it to return to the rest position.

B Sensor plate inclination 4.5°
7. Should a resistance be confirmed in Operation 6,
remove the air sensor plate and repeat the operation. If
this alleviates the resistance, the air sensor plate is
fouling the sides of the air funnel and should be
centralized (refer to Procedure 4) or the air funnel may
be deformed in some way.
8. If there is still a resistance to the movement of the
lever. it could be due to contamination within the fuel
distributor barrel or occasional binding in the lever
mechanism.
9. Contamination within the fuel distributor can be
checked by separating the fuel distributor from the
control unit for visual inspection.
Do not attempt to remove the control piston.
Remove the retaining screws situated on top of the
fuel distributor. Lift off the fuel distributor (resistance
will be felt due to the rubber sealing ring).
10. Examine the distributor for contamination.
11. Fit the fuel distributor by reversing the dismantling
procedure. Ensure that the rubber sealing ring is in good
condition and is lubricated with suitable grease.
Ensure that the retaining screws are evenly
tightened.
12. If a resistance is still noticeable, a new assembly
should be fitted.
13. After fitting the fuel distributor check the idle
mixture strength.
Procedure 4 Positioning the air flow sensor plate
1. Remove the air inlet ducting from above the sensor
plate.
2. Check that the sensor plate does not look deformed
or damaged, particularly around its outside edge. Also
ensure that the sensor plate will pass through the
parallel section of the air funnel without fouling.
3. If necessary, loosen the plate securing bolt.
4. Insert the guide ring RH 9609 whilst retaining the
sensor plate in the zero movement position. This will
prevent the sensor plate from being forced downwards
as the centring guide ring is being installed.
5. With the centring guide ring in position, tighten the
retaining bolt to 5Nm (0,50kgf m to 0,55kgf m. 44 lbf in
to 48 lbf in). Carefully remove the centring guide ring.
6. Apply pressure to the control piston in the fuel
distributor for approximately 10 seconds (refer to
page 84-42).
7. The air sensor plate should be positioned as shown
in figure B4-39, with the plate not protruding above or
below the parallel section of the air funnel.
8. If the air sensor plate is too high. carefully tap the
guide pin lower !see fig. B4-401, using a mandrel and a
small hammer.
Note This adjustment must be made very carefully,
ensuring that the pin is not driven too low.
Repeated adjustment can loosen the guide pin.
Serious damage to the engine could result if the
pin should fall out.
Procedure 5 Checking the operation of the idle speed
actuator
It is important that the test equipment used to check
the idle speed meets the following specification.
7/88
B4-36
Accuracy· Rotational speed within ± 10 rev/min.
1. Start and run the engine until normal operating
temperature is attained.
2. Disconnect the 2 way electrical plug connection
from the front end of the actuator. The engine speed
may drift from the controlled 580 ± 20 rev/min.
3. Hold the actuator body and reconnect the electrical
plug. 1f the ac'.uator is functioning correctly a pulse of
armature movement should be felt and the engine idle
speed should return to 580 ± 20 rev/min.
Note The return to this idle speed range will not be
immediate. A certain amount of incremental
engine speed stabilization will take place.
4. If the idle speed actuator control is outside the
specifications, refer to the appropriate fault diagnosis
flow chart on page 84-49.
Procedure 6 Checking the hot/cold start system
Refer to the modes of operation section and the fault
diagnosis flow charts.
Procedure 7 Checking the cold start injector
1. Detach the electrical plug from the cold start
injector (see fig. 84-1).
2. Remove the cold start injector from the induction
manifold with its feed pipe attached. Place the nozzle of
the injector into a suitable clean container so that the
operation of the injector can be observed.
3. Produce a test lead using a Bosch electrical plug,
two lengths of cable, and a micro-switch.
4. Connect the electrical plug to the cold start injector
and the two cables, one to an auxiliary electrical feed
and the other to an earth point.
Note Exercise care to eliminate the possibility of an
electrical spark (use the micro-switch to make
and break the circuit).
5. Apply electrical power to operate the fuel pump
(refer to page B4·42).
6. Operate the micro-switch to complete the auxiliary
electrical circuit. The cold start injector should spray
fuel as the contacts in the micro-switch complete the
electrical circuit; if it does not spray fuel, fit a new
injector. Operate the micro-switch to break the auxiliary
electrical circuit.
.
7. Dry the nozzle of the cold start injector.
8. Repeat Operation 5 but do not operate the micro·
switch. Note that no drops of fuel should form on or drip
from the injector nozzle. If the injector is defective a
new one should be fitted.
9. Remove the auxiliary test lead from the injector. Fit
the injector to the induction manifold and connect the
loom plug.
Procedure 8 Checking the operation of the primary fuel
circuit
Fuel delivery
1. Depressurize the fuel system !refer to Section A3).
2. Disconnect the fuel return line at the fuel pressure
regulator lower connection. Using a 'firttee' type nipple
and nut ISPM 1390/1), connect one end of an auxiliary
fuel return hose to the connection. Hold the other end of
the hose in a graduated measuring container capable of

Fault diagnosis test eQuipment and special procedures
This section contains information relating to the fitting
procedures for the test equipment used when
diagnosing a fault. Also included are the special
procedures associated with the fuel injection system.
Depressurizing the fuel system
The fuel in the system may be pressurized. Therefore, it
is recommended that the fuel system be depressurized

understood (refer to Chapter DJ.
g. Start the engine and visually inspect the fuel
system for leaks.
h. Whilst the engine is running. check the entire
induction system for leaks !refer to this section,
Workshop procedure 2J.
Before undertaking the tuning procedure, the
following work should be carried out.
1. Connect an impulse tachometer and an ignition
stroboscope lamp to the engine in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. These two functions can
be accomplished by fitting a compact tester (e.g. Bosch
MOT 2011 to the engine.
2. Insert the sample probe of a CO meter as far as
possible into either exhaust tailpipe.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters. connect
the sample probe of the CO meter to the special tapping
situated by the turbocharger (see fig. 84-53).
Tuning procedure
If the complete tuning procedure is to be carried out the
following seQuence of operations is recommended.
a. Carry out the preliminary checks a to f inclusive.
b.
Turn the ignition key to the AUN position and ensure
that the 'Check Engine' warning panel is illuminated.
Turn the key to the START position. Ensure that the
engine starts and that the 'Check Engine' warning panel
extinguishes.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters. if the lamp
remains illuminated refer to the 'On-board' fault
diagnosis chan (see fig. 84-36}.
Note If repeated and/or extended engine cranking is
required for a particular diagnostic test, the
electrical plug should be disconnected from the
cold start injector. This will prevent the sparking
plugs becoming fouled due to continued cold
start injection operation.
c. Confirm that the engine is running on all eight
cylinders and carry out the preliminary checks g and h.
d. Ensure that the engine has stabilized at its normal
operating temperature.
e.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters, carry out
an initial 'open loop' mixture strength check.
f.
Carry out basic fuel and ignition system functional
checks. These include checking the operation of the
throttle position switch and the system operating maps
(refer to this chapter).
g. Check the operation of the idle speed actuator
(refer to this chapter).
h. Check the operation of the dump valve (refer to

m. Tamperproot the mixture adjustment screw.
n. Remove all test equipment.
Note The asterisks denote a system only fitted to
certain cars.
Idle mixture strength - To check and set
Adjustment to the idle mixture strength should not
normally be necessary, as this is set and sealed during
manufacture of the vehicie. However, if either new parts
are fitted or the setting is disturbed proceed as follows.
1. Ensure that the crankcase is completely sealed for
this exercise, which means that the oil filler cap must be
closed and the engine oil dipstick pushed firmly into
position.
2. Before taking any reading, it is important to note
the following information concerning the test
equipment.
Accuracy - CO meter range 0% to 2%
CO concentration within 0.1 %
Rotational speed within 10 rev/min
3. On cars fitted with catalytic converters, disconnect
the electrical plug from the EHA. Mixture strength is
adjusted under ·open loop' conditions.
4. On cars fitted with a fuel evaporative emission
control system, disconnect the purge hose from the
induction manifold and blank the manifold tapping.
5. Insert the probe of a suitable CO meter as far as
possible into either exhaust tailpipe.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters, connect
the sample probe of the CO meter to the special tapping
situated by the turbocharger (see fig. 64-53).
6. Start and run the engine. Allow both the engine and
CO meter to fully warm-up.
It is essential that the engine coolant has stabilized
at its normal operating temperature of approximately
80° C (176°F). The ambient air temperature should be
between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°Fl.
7. Check the idle speed exhaust gas CO reading. This
shou Id be 0.9% ± 0.1 % at 580 j: 20 rev. min, with the
transmission in park and the automatic air
conditioning system switched off.
If the idle CO concentration is outside the sp.icified
limits adjust by carrying out Operations 8 to 11
inclusive.
8. Remove the mixture adjustment screw access plug.
Insert the mixture adjusting toot (see fig. B4-54J and
adjust the idle mixture strength as required. The idle
mixture screw should be turned clockwise to richen the
mixture (increase CO%) and anti-clockwise to weaken
the mixture (reduce CO%).
Remove the mixture adjusting tool after each
adjustment and blank the airmeter aperture (mixture
adjustment access hole) to prevent the entry of
unmetered 'false air'. Failure to blank the access hole
will result in an incorrect CO measurement.
Note Always make the mixture adjustment from the
lean mixture strength side (i.e. if the idle CO
concentration is too high. initially turn the idle
mixture adjustment screw more than necessary in
an anti-clockwise direction and then approach the
correct setting with clockwise rotation of the
mixture adjustment screw.

Fig. B4-54 Adjusting the idle mixture strength
9. Briefly open the primary throttles to incrP.ase the
engine speed after each adjustment. this will allow a
more stabilized idle CO setting to be achieved. Ensure
that the primary throttles return to the correct idle
position before the CO concentration is checked.
10. Upon completion of the idle mixture strength
adjustment, tamper proof the adjustment screw.
11. Stop the engine and remove the test equipment.
Connect any cables that have been disconnected for the
purpose of the test.
Tamperproofing
Two methods of tamperproofing the mixture strength
adjusting screw are used.
On cars fitted with catalytic converters a metal plug
is carefully driven into the access hole for the mixture
strength adjustment screw.
On cars not fitted with catalytic converters a small
screw is inserted into the mixture strength adjustment
access hole. A black plastic plug is then pressed into the
hole. If the plastic plug is fitted onto the end of a guide
rod and then inserted. it will assist in the fitting
opert1tion.

5. Always ensure that the wiring harness plugs are
securely connected.
6. Do not disconnect or connect the wiring harness
35-way multiple plug of the K-Motronic ECU with the
ignition switched on.
7. If repeated or extended engine cranking periods are
required for a particular engine/vehicle diagnosis, the
electrical plug should be disconnected from the cold
start injector.
8. Always ensure correct polarity when making cable
connections.
9. Always use a good quality digital mutti-me!er when
carrying out tests on the system.
10. Do not pierce any electrical leads or looms with test
probes. etc.
11. Do not remove the high tension lead situated between
the ignition coil and distributor. when the engine is
running.
12. Ensure that no 'arcing' takes place between electrical
connections.
Exhaust gases
When running turbocharged engines for prolonged
periods within enclosed working areas. always ensure
that the exhaust gases are safely removed.
Whilst direct exhaust gas ventilation is available in
some workshop areas, it is inevitable that extraction
hoses will have to be used in certain circumstances,
particularly when the vehicle is on a ramp. In these
instances, large flexible exhaust adapter shrouds must
be fitted to prevent a high level of depression being
applied to the exhaust turbine seal in the turbocharger.
Under no circumstances should hig~ depression
exhaust gas extraction units be applied directly to the
tailpipes.
(.
Danger· high voltage levels
Dangerously high voltage levels are present in an
electronic ignition system. Thei.e levels are not only
present in individual components. but also in the wiring
looms, plugs, sockets, and test connections.
The primary as well as the secondary circuit are
subject to these high voltages.
Therefore. whenever the system is switched on
ensure that you do not touch components/circuits
contained within the ignition system.
Always wear thick rubber gloves and use insulated
tools as an added precaution.
Fault diagnosis

Precautions
Danger - Exhaust gases
To ensure adequate ventilation, always open garage
doors fully before starting the car in a garage. or any
confined space.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is odourless and invisible, but very
poisonous.
Operating the air conditioning system in a
confined space increases the danger of these gases
entering the car.
4. Never remove the high tension lead situated
between the ignition coil and distributor when the
engine is running.
5. Ensure that no arcing takes place between
electrical connections.
6. Never supply more than 16 volts direct current to
the ignition system.
Danger - High voltage levels
Dangerously high voltage levels are present in an
electronic ignition system. These levels are not only
present in individual components, but also in the
wiring looms, plugs, sockets, and test connections.
The primary as well as the secondary circuit are
subject to these high voltages.
Therefore, whenever the system is switched on
ensure that you do not touch components/circuits
contained within the ignition system.
General precautions
Whenever possible ensure that the battery master
switch (if fitted) is turned to the OFF position or the
battery is disconnected. However, it is essential that
when disconnecting or connecting electrical
components, either the battery master switch is turned
to the OFF position or the battery is disconnected.
When carrying out operations that require the
battery master switch to be in the ON position and the
battery connected always ensure that the following
procedures are carried out.
The parking brake is firmly applied.
The gear range selector lever is in the park
position.
The gearchange isolatil')g fuse (fuse A6) on the
main fuseboard F2 is removed.
In addition, the following points should be noted.
Never disconnect the battery or switch off the
battery master switch when the engine is running.
Always ensure correct polarity when making
cable connections.
It is recommended that when carrying out tests
on the car wiring, a good quality multi-meter is used.
Never use generator type meters.
Do not use a test lamp on circuitry that contains
electronic components, such as the ignition system.
Special precautions
1. Always wear thick rubber gloves and use insulated
tools.
2. Before using test equipment always read the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Do not pierce any electrical leads or looms with
test probes, etc.

Ignition control system
Introduction
A constant energy ignition control system is fitted.
The system utilises a variable reluctance electronic
distributor incorporating an integral amplifier module
together with a high energy coil. The system also
incorporates resistive type sparking plugs.
Component description
Ignition distributor (see fig. E3- 1)
The ignition distributor assembly is situated at the
rear of the engine and is driven from the crankshaft via
a skew gear.
Contained within the distributor body is an
assembly incorporating a permanent magnet and
coil; the assembly being linked to an amplifier module.
Also contained within the body is a rotor arm and
reluctor wheel; the wheel incorporating eight teeth,
one per cylinder. Each time a tooth of the reluctor
wheel passes close to the coil pole piece (during
rotation of the distributor shaft) a small voltage is
induced within the coil. The voltage is then passed to
the ignition amplifier module. This in turn controls the
primary current in the ignition coil.
The advance characteristics of the ignition
distributor are controlled by centrifugal weights
together with the vacuum advance capsule.
Except during idle speed or at small throttle
openings, a gated orifice vacuum signal is applied to
the ignition distributor capsule from the throttle
body. This ensures smooth running of the engine
under all operating conditions and therefore improves
fuel economy.
Ignition coil
The ignition coil is situated in the engine compartment,
mounted on the right-hand inner wing valance (see
fig. E3-2).
When the ignition amplifier, located on the
distributor body, interrupts the current to the primary
winding of the ignition coil a high voltage is induced
in the secondary winding. The high voltage is
distributed via the distributor rotor arm and high
tension leads to the sparking plugs.
Sparking plugs
Prior to fitting the sparking plugs ensure that the gap
setting corresponds to the figures quoted in Chapter A.
Engine crankshaft sensor
To enable ignition timing to be measured using
diagnostic test equipment an engine crankshaft sensor
is located at the rear of the engine, mounted on the
transmission adapter (see fig. E3-3).
When the crankshaft is at 20" atdc the sensor
detects a pin on the starter ring carrier. This causes a

Ignition control system
Introduction
To provide optimum ignition timing a digital
electronic ignition control system is fitted.
The system (see fig. E5-3) incorporates engine
sensors. an EZ 58F electronic control unit. group 1
ignition amplifier and coil, group 2 ignition amplifier
and coil, a two times four-way ignition distributor, and
resistive type sparking plugs.
Ignition timing is pre-programmed and is not
adjustable. Under no circumstance must any attempt
be n,ade to rotate the ignition distributor housing.
Component description
Engine sensors
The sensors located at various positions on the
engine, monitor operating conditions. The
information obtained from the sensors is transferred
to the EZ 58F electronic control unit providing a
constant indication of engine operating conditions.
This enables the EZ 58F to provide optimum ignition
timing.
Crankshaft sensor (see fig. E5-1) The sensor monitors
engine speed and crankshaft position by obtaining a
signal from the timing wheel mounted on the end of
the crankshaft.
A regular waveform is induced by the sensor from
the 124 tooth timing wheel. Each time an odd tooth
spacing on the timing wheel passes the sensor tip an
indication is produced in the waveform pattern. This
provides a reference point for the EZ 58F electronir.
control unit.
The air gap between the tip of the sensor and the
timing wheel should be between 0,5mm and 1,5mm
(0.019in and 0.059in).

Ignition system Piezo resistive pressure transducer
(see fig. E5-4) This sensor is located within the EZ 58F
electronic control unit. It obtains information as to the
load on the engine by measuring the absolute
induction manifold pressure from a tapping on the
induction manifold.
Throttle position switch (see fig. E5-5) The switch unit
is mounted onto the throttle body and is connected to
the spindle of the primary throttle plates. It identifies
the position of the accelerator pedal and supplies the
EZ 58F electronic control unit with information as to
the operating mode of the engine (i.e. idle speed/
overrun, part load. or full load).

b. The continuity of the brown cable at pin 2 of the
loom connector to pin 19 of the EZ 58F electronic
control unit.
c. The internal resistance of the crankshaft sensor,
measured between pins 1 and 2 of the sensor
connection, is between 0.6 KO and 1.6 KO.
If the measurement is outside these Ii mits fit a
new sensor. Re·rnake all connections.
Engine coolant temperature sensor
10. The sensor provides information to both the
EZ 58F electronic control unit (via the green/blue
cable) and the KE2-Jetronic fuel injection system
electronic control unit (via the yellow/blue cable).
Disconnect the plug from both the EZ 58F
electronic control unit and from the KE2-Jetronic fuel
injection system electronic control unit.
Using the multi-meter ensure the following.
a. Continuity of the black cable at pin 10 of the
EZ 58F electronic control unit plug to its earth
connection.
b. Continuity of the green/blue cable at pin 23 of the
EZ 58F electronic control unit plug to the engine
coolant temperature sensor.
c. Resistance measured between pins 10 and 23 of
the EZ 58F electronic control unit plug compares with

the sensor resistance characteristic graph given in
figure E6-3.
Note Under service conditions it may not be practical
to gauge precise engine coolant temperature.
Therefore carrying out the test with a cold
engine (e.g. after the car has stood overnight)
would mean that coolant temperature and
ambient air temperature would be similar.
Throttle position switch
11. The throttle position switch provides information
to both the EZ 58F electronic control unit and to the
KE2-Jetronic fuel injection system electronic control
unit.
Disconnect the plug from the EZ 58F electronic
control unit and from the KE2-Jetronic electronic
control unit.
Using the multi-meter and referring to the wiring
diagram in Section E7 ensure the following.
a. Continuity of the blue/purple cable at pin 4 of the
EZ 58F electronic control unit plug to its connection at
the throttle position switch.
b. Continuity of the yellow/purple cable at pin 17 of
the EZ 58F electronic control unit plug to its
connection at the throttle position switch.
c. Continuity of the black cable at the throttle
position switch to its earth connection.
d. With the throttle plates closed only switch
contacts 2 and 18 are connected {see fig. E6-4).

EZ 58F ignition electronic control unit
12. With the operation of both the engine coolant
temperature sensor and throttle position switch
proved correct. the following check is sufficient to
confirm the correct ignition/engine coolant
temperature response of the EZ 58F electronic control
unit.
a. Start and run the engine. With the engine coolant
at normal operating temperature i.e. above 80°C
(176°F) disconnect the two-way plug from the electro
hydraulic actuator (see fig. E6-11 ).
Note It is necessary to disconnect the electro
hydraulic actuator (EHAJ to prevent overfuelling when the engine coolant temperature
sensor is disconnected. However.
disconnecting the EHA will cause some
deterioration of engine idling quality.
b. Disconnect the throttle position switch plug and
socket.
Using a length of cable with suitable connections
bridge the EZ 58F electronic control unit to initiate the
ignition idle speed map.
The bridge should be made at the black and blue/
purple connections on the control unit side of the
throttle position switch plug and socket.
c. Partly open the engine throttles to set a stabilized
engine speed at approximately 700 rev/min. Using a
stroboscopic timing light, connected in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions, measure the
degree of ignition advance at the crankshaft damper
timing marks !see fig. E6-, 2).
d. Disconnect the two-way connector from the
engine coolant temperature sensor. Check that the
ignition timing has advanced by 2° btdc.
Should this check not prove satisfactory renew
the EZ 58F electronic control unit.
Restore all plug and socket connections to return
the system to basic engine settings.
Ignition timing
13. All ignition timing checks must be carried out with
the engine speed stabilized and with the engine
coolant at normal operating temperature i.e. above
80°C(176°F).
Note Although engine settings are carried out with
the air conditioning system switched on and
with the compressor clutch engaged, it will
prove more convenient to carry out the
following checks with the air conditioning
system switched off. However, it is essential
that when re-setting the engine idle speed at
the conclusion of these checks, the air
conditioning system is switched on and the
compressor clutch is engaged.

Connect a stroboscopic timing light and a
tachometer in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Using the idle speed adjustment screw (see fig.
E6· 13) set the engine idle speed to 580 rev/min ± 10
rev/min. Clockwise rotation of the screw reduces the
rev/min, conversely anti-clockwise rotation increases
the rev/min.
Check that the ignition timing is 7° btdc ± 1° btdc.
Using the idle speed adjustment screw. reduce
the engine idle speed to 500 rev/min± 10 rev/min.
Check that the ignition timing is 10° btdc ± 1° btdc.
If the ignition timing is outside the specified limits
it will be necessary to renew the EZ 58F electronic
control unit.
Return the engine idle speed to the basic setting
of 580 rev/min with the air conditioning system
switched on and with the compressor clutch engaged.
Switch off the ignition.

14. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EZ 58F
Fig. E6-12 Crankshaft damper timing marks
electronic control unit at the induction manifold. Blank
off the manifold tapping. Connect the Mityvac pump
RH 12495 to the hose from the EZ 58F electronic
control unit.
Start the engine and allow to idle. Apply a
vacuum of 508mm Hg (20in Hg) to the ignition hose.
This should result in a decrease in engine speed of
approximately 100 rev/min.
If no decrease occurs, check the induction
manifold hose for leaks or blockage between the
vacuum pump and the EZ 58F electronic control unit.
If no leaks or blockage are present, the Piezo resistive
pressure transducer within the EZ 58F electronic
control unit is faulty. Renew the unit.
Switch off the ignition. Remove all test equipment
and restore all connections.
15. For more detailed information concerning the
EZ 58F electronic control unit ignition maps refer to
figures E6-7 to E6-10 inclusive.

Introduction
The contents of this Chapter apply to cars conforming
to an Australian, Japanese, or North American
specification. All have naturally aspirated engines.
The exhaust emission control system (see fig.
F2-1) is designed to reduce the carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon. and oxides of nitrogen content in the
exhaust gases.
To comply with current exhaust emission control
regulations, cars produced to these specifications are
fitted with a three-way catalytic converter in place of
the conventional front silencer.
In order to achieve maximum efficiency the
catalytic converter requires very accurate control of
the engine air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by the
use of a continuous fuel injection system with 'closed
loop' mixture control (refer to Chapter BJ.
Dependent upon the specification of the vehicle
the following additional systems are fitted to improve
the control of exhaust emissions.
The exhaust gas recirculation system recirculates
1
a proportion of the exhaust gas from 'B' bank exhaust
pipe, through a vacuum operated metering valve into
the induction manifold.
The recirculation of exhaust gas lowers the peak
combustion temperature and therefore, reduces the
oxides of nitrogen content of the exhaust gas.
The air injection system comprises a belt driven
pump, that during the warm-up period passes air via
an air switching valve and check valves to the exhaust
manifolds.
The injected air combines with the exhaust from
the combustion chambers to promote oxidation of
the gases and reduce the catalytic converter warm-up
time.
Whenever the coolant temperature is above 33°C
(91°F), the air switching valve vents the output from
the air pump into the engine air intake system.
For details of the servicing and maintenance
requirements of the exhaust emission control system.
refer to the Service Schedules Manual TSO 4702.

Section F3
Exhaust gas recirculation system
A proportion of the exhaust gas taken from a
connection on the 'B' bank exhaust pipe, is
recirculated through a vacuum operated exhaust gas
recirculation (EGRJ valve, into the induction manifold
where it mixes with the intake air (see fig. F3-1 ).
Substantially atmospheric pressure is maintained
downstream of the metering valve, so that the
recirculation flow is proportional to the exhaust gas
flow.
The recirculation of the exhaust gas lowers the
peak combustion temperature in the cylinders.
reducing the level of oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust
gases.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve
(see figs. F3-2 and F3-3)
The EGR valve incorporates an integral pressure
transducer. Located in an extension of the valve seat
is a metering orifice.
A throttle gated vacuum signal is used to operate
the valve. This signal is modulated by the integral
transducer and applied to the control valve
diaphragm. This varies the lift of the control valve,
thus maintaining a constant control pressure (just
above atmospheric pressure) between the metering
orifice and the valve seat.
When the engine load is increased, the control
pressure exceeds the transducer setting and the
transducer valve closes. The fu 11 vacuum signal is
then applied to the control valve diaphragm, opening
the control valve and increasing the EGR flow.
Similarly, as the engine load is reduced, the
control pressure becomes less than the transducer
setting and the transducer valve opens, venting the
diaphragm chamber to atmosphere. Th is causes the
control valve to close and reduce the EGR flow.
The transducer valve coAtinuously varies the
control valve lift to maintain a constant control
pressure under all normal operating conditions.
The use of a throttle gated vacuum signal ensures
complete control valve closure at idle to maintain
good idle quality.
To improve starting and drive-away during low
temperature conditions, a solenoid valve interrupts
the throttle gated vacuum signal to the EGR valve,
until a predetermined coolant temperature is sensed.
The temperature is sensed by a switch located in the
thermostat housing.
A throttle position switch also operates the
solenoid to cut-out exhaust gas recirculation at wide
throttle openings.
Fitting components to the exhaust gas recirculation
system
It is recommended that prior to fitting components
the threads of nuts, bolts, and setscrews are smeared

with Never-seez anti-seize compound.
Any sealing rings, pipe flares, or the grooves in
the split clamps should be lightly smeared with either
graphite or Never-seez compound. This will assist
alignment of the parts upon assembly.
Do not allow the compound to enter the exhaust
system, particularly up-stream (in front) of the
catalytic converter, otherwise damage to the
converter assembly will result.
EGR valve - To remove and fit
1. Detach the vacuum hose from the valve.
2. Unscrew the two nuts retaining the valve; collect
the washers.
3. Withdraw the valve and gasket.
Note If there is insufficient clearance to withdraw the
valve, it will be necessary to carry out
Operations 4 to 9 inclusive.
4. Remove the windscreen wipers relay {wipers 3)
and the mechanism cover.
5. Locate the top EGR valve feed pipe joint and
unscrew the two securing nuts. Collect the washers.
bolts, and both halves of the clamp.
Free the joint and collect the sealing ring.
6. Remove the throttle linkage pivot.
7. Detach the hose and pipe connected to the
vacuum connections on the induction manifold. This
will allow access to the two setscrews securing the
EGR pipe to the induction manifold.
8. Unscrew the two setscrews securing the EGR
pipe to the induction manifold and free the joint.
9. Move the assembly forward to allow the EGR
valve to be withdrawn.
10. To fit the EGR valve, reverse the dismantling
procedure, ensuring that all gaskets are in good

EGR valve feed pipe- To remove and fit
(see fig. F3-1)
The main feed pipe connects the EGR valve assembly
to the 'B' bank exhaust pipe.
1. To free one end of the flared pipe, unscrew the
two securing nuts, collect the washers, bolts, and
both halves of the split clamp.
2. When the joint is freed, remove the sealing ring
located inside both adjoining pipes.
3. Repeat Operations 1 and 2 to free the joint at the
opposite end of the pipe.
4. To connect the pipe reverse the dismantling
procedure. Always ensure that the sealing ring, pipe
flares, and split clamp mating faces are thoroughly
clean and free from scale. If necessary the mating
faces may be lightly dressed with fine emery cloth.
EGR components - To clean
Whenever components are removed for cleaning the
following guidelines should be adhered to.
1. Use a scraper to clean the worst of the carbon
deposit from the valve, joint flanges, and feed pipes.
2. Remove the remaining carbon using a wire brush

the valve seating area.
3. Thoroughly 'blow out' all components with dry
compressed air before they are fitted to the engine.
EGR valve - To check
Checks to ensure the correct operation of the valve
are only required under no load conditions as follows.
1. Ensure that there is no exhaust tailpipe restriction
or extraction.
2. Ensure that the ACU is !lWitched off.
3. Start and run the engine until normal operating
temperature is attained (approximately 15 minutes
after the thermostat has opened).
4. Raise the engine speed slowly and observe the
movement of the EGA valve diaphragm. The throttle
control must be opened slowly to avoid a false
reading.
5. Note the speed at which the diaphragm starts to
move, indicating that the valve is opening. This
should be between 1250 rev/min and 1750 rev/min.
The speed at which the valve commences to
move and then continues to move until open, is
considered the EGA valve opening speed. Any slight
fluttering of the diaphragm prior to the valve opening
should be discounted.

Section F4
Air injection system
The air injection system (see fig. F4-1) consists of a
belt driven air pump that delivers air via an air
switching valve to the exhaust ports, during engine
warm-up. This air combines with lhe cxha11sl from
lhe comlrnsliun chambers, lo promote oxidation ol
the gases and faster warm-lip of the catalytic
converter.
When the coolant temperature is above 33°C
(91"F) the air switching valve vents the output of the
air pump into the engine air intake.

Service Schedules Manual TSO 4702.
Air injection pump
The rotary vane pump is mounted at the front of the
engine; and belt driven from the refrigeration
compressor pulley._Air is drawn into the pump,
through a centrifugal filter and exits from a
connection on the rear of the pump.

Air switching valve (see fig. F4-2)
The air switching valve comprises a vacuum operated
valve with integral control solenoid.
When the coolant temperature is below 33"C
(91 "Fl the solenoid is energized th us applying inlet
manifold vacuum to the diaphragm chamber. This
causes the injected air to be re-routed to the exhaust
manifolds.
When the solenoid is de-energized lat a coolant
temperature above 33''C (91°F)] the manifold vacuum
signal is inhibited and the diaphragm chamber vented
to atmosphere. This causes the internal spring to
return the valve to the rest position, routing the
injection air to the engine air intake system.

Pressure relief valve
A pressure relief valve is fitted between the air
injection rump and the air switching valve. It consists
of a spring loaded disc that opens at a set pressure.
This prevents excessive pressure build-up, that could
damage the pump vanes under extreme conditions.
Check valves
A check valve is fitted into the air injection pipe to
each exhaust manifold.
Each valve assembly consists of a spring and
one-way disc. The assembly prevents the flow of
exhaust gases back to the air switching valve if either
the exhaust back pressure exceeds the pump delivery
pressure, or the pump belt fails.
Air pump drive belt
Before commencing to adjust the drive belt inspect it
for signs of wear or cracking. If the belt is found
unsatisfactory it should be renewed.

Three-way catalyst system
The exhaust system is basically of dual pipe
construction that utilizes a single catalytic converter
in place of a conventional front silencer.
The dual exhaust pipes from the engine combine
into a single pipe just prior to the catalytic converter.
From the converter. the system reverts to a twin pipe
system with both pipes entering a common rear
silencer. A single tailpipe then conveys the exhaust to
atmosphere.

Catalytic converter protection
To protect the catalytic converter from possible
damage the following precautions should be taken.
Unleaded gasolene
Use unleaded gasolene only 87AKI (91 RON)* Min.
The use of leaded gasolene will result in a substantial
reduction in the performance of the catalyst.
Under no circumstances add fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank for induction into the engine,
as these materials may have a detrimental effect on
the catalytic converter.

Engine malfunction
If the engine misfires or suffers from a lack of power
that could be attributed lo a malfunction in either the
ignition system or fuel system, operation of the
vehicle should be discontinued. Driving the vehicle
with a malfunction could cause overheating and
consequP.nt damage to the catalytic converter.
Fuel
Do not allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. A warning
lamp situated on the facia illuminates to warn the
driver of a low fuel level in the fuel tank. Jf the vehicle
runs out of fuel at high speed, possible damage to the
catalytic converter could result.
Starting the engine
The vehicle must not be pushed or towed to start the
engine. Failure to observe this warning could cause
overheating and consequent damage to the catalytic
converter.
Exhaust emission control system
It is important that the vehicle is maintained in its
correct operating condition. Failure to do so will result
not only in loss of fuel economy and emission control
but could also cause damage to the catalytic converter
due to overheating.

smeared with either graphite lubricant or Never-seez
compound. This will assist al_ignment of the parts
upon assembly.
12. The parts should be loosely assembled and then
manoeuvred to give the best alignment, before the
joints are tightened.
13. Smear the threads of the oxygen sensor with
Never-seez assembly compound. It is important that
the Never-seez is applied only to the threads of the
unit. Care must be taken to ensure that the compound
does not contact the slotted shield below the threaded
portion.
Torque tighten the oxygen sensor to the figures
given in Chapter L.
Do not allow the assembly compound to enter
the exhaust system, particularly up stream (in front)
of the catalytic converter, otherwise damage to the
converter assembly will result.
To check that the warning panel bulb is operating
satisfactorily, ensure that the panel illuminates during
engine cranking (i.e. starter motor engaged).
Exhaust system
For information relating lo the remainder of the
exhaust system refer to TSO 4700 Chapter Q, Exhaust
system.
Oxygen sensor warning lamp
On cars conforming to Australian and North American
specifications an oxygen sensor warning lamp is
situated on the facia.
When permanently illuminated, the lamp informs
the driver that a malfunction has occurred in the
'closed loop' mixture control system. The cause of the
malfunction must then be investigated by referring to
the appropriate fault diagnosis chart contained in
Chapter 8.
The warning lamp may illuminate when
the engine is being cranked but should extinguish
soon after the engine starts_ The lamp will however,
remain illuminated until the oxygen sensor reaches its
normal operating temperature_
Oxygen sensor
For details relating to the oxygen sensor refer to
Chapter B.
Exhaust system overheat warning lamp
On cars conforming to a Japanese specification an
exhaust overheat warning system is fitted. The
warning panel for this system is situated on the facia.
Illumination of the panel indicates that an overheating
condition caused through an engine malfunction has
been reached in the exhaust system_
If an exhaust overheat condition is indicated, stop
the vehicle as soon as possible and switch off the
ignition. After three minutes the engine may be
started again and providing the overheat warning
lamp remains extinguished, the vehicle can be
accelerated gently up to a speed of 30 km/h
(18 mile/h). This speed must not be exceeded until the
cause of the overheat warning has been corrected by
referring to the appropriate fault diagnosis flow chart
(~ee fig. F5-3).

Fuel evaporative emission control system
A fuel evaporative emission control system is fitted
on all cars conforming to the following specifications.
Australian
Japanese
Middle East
North American
Taiwan
The system eliminates direct venting of the fuel
tank and therefore, prevents the release of
hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank are collected and
stored in a charcoal filled canister situated under the
left-hand front wing. When the canister is purged, the
stored fuel vapours are extracted from the charcoal
and burnt in the engine.
The fuel tank is located at the forward end of the
luggage compartment, behind the carpet covered
panel.
An expansion tank situated within the fuel tank
inhibits complete filling and provides fuel expansion
volume to cope with extreme temperature conditions.
A combined pressure/vacuum relief valve is
located in the fuel filler cap.
A rollover tube with a restrictor is incorporated in
the vent line from the fuel tank to the control canister.

engines)
Dump valve vacuum switch

Purge control vacuum switch
Purge control solenoid
Adapter
Hose from fuel tank vent
Canister
Naturally aspirated engines (see fig. G2- l)
Operation of the purge system is controlled by a
solenoid mounted in front of the ignition distributor.
This solenoid is controlled by the throttle position
switch and also on cars conforming to an Australian,
Japanese, or North American specification, by a
switch mounted in the thermostat housing.
The canister is purged whenever the engine is
running except at the idle speed setting, or on cars
fitted with the thermostat housing switch, if the
coolant temperature is low.
Turbocharged engines {see fig. G2·2)
The purge control system comprises a solenoid valve
and a vacuum switch.
As the accelerator pedal is lightly depressed with
the engine running, a gated orifice is uncovered by
one of the throttle plates. The increasing vacuum then
applied to the control line via the throttle housing,
solenoid valve, and hoses draws the stored vapours
from the canister into the induction manifold.
When the accelerator pedal is further depressed,
the manifold vacuum falls, and at a predetermined
value the vacuum switch operates to close the
solenoid valve. This seals the purge li~e to prevent a
reverse flow occurring under boost conditions.
Emission control canister
The evaporative emission control canister is mounted
under the left-hand wing. It is a cylindrica t container
filled with activated carbon granules. These granules
are retained within the canister by a system of baffles
and screens as shown in figure G2-3.
The top of the canister incorporates a tube, open
to atmosphere to admit purge intake air. In the base of
the assembly is one connection for the fuel tank vent
hose and another connection for the purge line.
At the mileage specified in the service schedules
remove the control canister and fit a new assembly.

Emission control canister - To remove and fit
1. locate the emission control canister under the
left-hand front wing (see fig. G2-4). Using the special
pliers RH 8090 remove the securing clip from the
canister end of the purge hose.
2. Withdraw both hoses fitted to the canister. Label
each one to facilitate assembly.
3. Unscrew the four setscrews retaining the control
canister in position.
4. Withdraw the canister from under the wing.
5. Note the position of the canister in relation to the
mounting bracket and unscrew the retaining worm
drive clip.
6. Fit the new canister to the mounting bracket and
tighten the retaining worm drive clip.
5/87
G2-2
7. Ensure that the canister is in the correct position
relative to the mounting bracket.
8. Fit the assembly to the vehicle by reversing the
procedure given for removal, noting that a new hose
securing clip should be used.
Fuel tank vent
The fuel tank is vented to the filler neck via two
connections. This allows adequate venting of the tank
during filling.
A separate vapour line from the centre of the tank
(the rollover tube) almost encircles the tank before
passing to the evaporative loss canister. The vent line
is situated under the floor of the car on the left-hand
side as shown in figure G2· 1. It includes a restrictor at
its highest point and passes around the tank to
prevent liquid fuel from entering the canister during
harsh manoeuvres or in the event of vehicle inversion.
In the event of a blockage in the vapour line to the
control canister. a combined pressure and vacuum
relief valve is incorporated into the fuel filler cap. The
valve prevents an excessive pressure build-up in the
fuel tank caused by fuel vaporization or vacuum as
the fuel is consumed.
For all other details of the fuel tank refer to Chapter
C, Fuel system.
Fuel evaporative emission control system - To leak
check
Whenever the various pipes. hoses, and components
of the fuel evaporative emission control system are
disturbed, the system should be checked for air leaks
upon assembly.
To lest the system proceed as follows.
1. Withdraw the fuel tank hose from the canister
and connect it to the test equipment shown in figure
G2-5.
2. Apply air pressure to the fuel tank hose via the
test equipment. Apply pressure until a reading of 380
mm ( 15 in) H20 is attained and then close the pressure
supply.
3. After five minutes again check the pressure
reading. The reading should not have fallen by more
than 12,7 mm (0.50 in).
4. If the pressure drop is more than 12,7 mm
(0.50 in) progressively treat all joints in the system
with a soap solution to detect air leaks.
5. Rectify any air leaks and again 'leak check' the
system.
6. During the five minutes leak down. visually inspect
the hoses, pipes, and connections that are routed
under the car. Commence where the hose exits from
the body at the rear and follow the system to the loss
control canister.
Ensure that the hoses are secure in the mounting
clips.
7. When the system is satisfactory, detach the test
equipment and connect the hose to the control
can ister.
Purge line
The purge line connects the control canister to the
engine induction system.

Air from the atmosphere is drawn downwards
through the carbon granules in the canister and
collects the stored fuel vapours. This mixture then
passes from the base of the canister to the throttle
body or the air guide housing, where it is drawn into
the engine induction system.
Purge flow rate - To check
Naturally aspirated engines
1. Fit a flowmeter RH 8725 between the pipe from
the canister and the hose to the control solenoid (see
fig. G2-6).
2. Start the engine.
3. On cars conforming to an Australian. Japanese,
or North American specification, ensure that the
coolant temperature is above 33°C (91°FJ.

Section G3
Fuel evaporative emission control system
The fuel evaporative emission control system differs
between turbocharged and naturally aspirated cars
and also. between naturally aspirated 4 door saloons
and 2 door convertibles (see figs. G3·1 and G3-2).
With all systems however, the principle of
operation is to eliminate direct venting of the fuel
tank and therefore. to prevent the release of
hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank are collected and
stored in a charcoal filled adsorption canister situated
under the front left-hand wing of the vehicle. When
the canister is purged, the stored fuel vapours are
extract~d from the charcoal and burnt in the engine.
The fuel tank is located at the forward end of
the luggage compartment, behind a carpet covered
panel.
An expansion tank situated within the main fuel
tank inhibits complete filling and provides fuel
expansion volume to cope with extreme ambient
temperature conditions.
A combined pressure/vacuum relief valve is
located in the fuel filler cap.
A rollover tube with a restrictor is incorporated in
the vent line from the fuel tank to the control
canister. This prevents fuel from reaching the canister
during harsh manoeuvres or in the event of vehicle
inversion.
For details of the servicing and maintenance
requirements of the system. refer to the Service
Schedules Manual TSD 4 702.
Naturally aspirated cars
The principle of operation for both 2 door and 4 door
cars is identical. however, the emission control
canister fitted under the front left-hand wing, is
installed forward of the wheel arch on 2 door cars
and behind the wheel arch on 4 door cars.
Fuel vapour that accumulates in the top of the
fuel tank is routed from the centre vent, around the
tank and to the inlet connection on the control

canister. The flow of vapour in the line is controlled
by a vent valve which opens when the vapour
pressure reaches a pre-determined level. This allows
the vapour to pass into the control canister where it
is stored by the carbon granules.
The canister is purged at most times when the
engine is running and the st0red fuel vapour is drawn
from the control canister via a restrictor, into the
induction manifold. The vapour is then drawn into the
engine cylinders with the fuel/air mixture where it is
burnt.
The purging of the storage canister is controlled
by a cut-off solenoid which closes the purge line
whenever the engine is running at the idle speed
setting, or if the engine is operating below a predetermined temperature (except cars produced to the
Middle East and Taiwan specification).

and under boost operating conditions.
The purge control valve regulates the purge flow
rate depending on engine operating conditions. It
receives a duty cycle signal from the engine
management system ECU which is programmed with
purge control characteristic data tsee fig. G3-4). The
duty cycle signal varies between 0% and 100%
according to engine speed and load.
Turbocharged cars
The fuel vapour that accumulates in the top of the
fuel tank is routed from the centre vent, around the
tank and to the inlet connection on the control
canister. The flow of vapour in the line is controlled
by a vent valve which opens when the vapour
pressure reaches a predetermined level. This allows
the vapour to pass into the control canister where it
is stored by the carbon granules.
The canister is only purged when the engine is
operating in the naturally aspirated mode.
Operation of the purge system is controlled by a
solenoid valve connected electrically to the dump
valve vacuum switch and a temperature switch in the
thermostat housing (except cars produced to a
Middle East and Taiwan specification) and by a purge
control valve connected to the engine management
system ECU. The solenoid prevents purge flow at idle
Fuel evaporative emission control system To leak check
Whenever the various pipes, hoses, and components
of the fuel evaporative emission control system are
disturbed, the system should be checked for leaks
upon assembly.
To test the system proceed as follows.
1. Withdraw the hose from the fuel tank side of the
control valve and connect it to the test equipment
shown in Section G2, figure G2-5.
2. Apply air pressure to the fuel tank hose via the
test equipment. Apply pressure until a reading of
380 mm 115 in) H2 0 is attained and then close the
pressure supply.
3. After five minutes again check the pressure
reading. The reading should not have fallen by more
than 12,7 mm (0.50 in).
4. If the pressure drop is more than 12, 7 mm
(0.50 in) progressively treat all joints in the system
with a soap solution to detect leaks.
5. Rectify leaks and again 'leak check' the system.
6. During the five mintues leak down, visually
inspect the hoses, pipes, and connections that are
routed under the car. Commence where the hose
exits from the body at the rear and follow the system
towards the control canister.

Servicing of the valve is not required. The
following general performance from the valve is
acceptable, otherwise it should be replaced.
Fuel tank pressure control valve
The fuel tank pressure control valve is situated in the
fuel tank vent line just prior to the emission control
canister.
Its purpose is to seal the majority of the fuel
vapours in the fuel tank and vent line until the vapour
pressure rises above a predetermined level.
The valve is situated between two rubber hoses
and should be removed by freeing the hose clips and

includes a restrictor at its highest point and passes
around the tank to prevent liquid fuel from entering
the vent line during harsh manoeuvres or in the even t

In the event of a blockage in the vapour line to
the contro l canister, a combined pressure and
va cuum relief valve is incorporated into the fuel filler
cap. The valve prevents an excessive pressure buildup in the fuel tank caused by fuel vaporization or
vacuum as the fuel is consumed.
The fuel tank pressure control valve regulates th e

1. Fit the flowmeter RH 8725 into the purge line at
the restrictor, leaving the restrictor in the hose from
the canister.
2. Start and run the engine until normal operating
temperature is attained.
3. Increase the engine speed to 2500 rev/min by
opening the throttles.
4. Check the purge flow rate is between 26,0 litres/
min and 33,0 litres/min (55 ft3/h and 70 ft 3/h), except
on 1987/88 model year cars for the Middle East or
Taiwan when the purge flow rate should be between
9,4 litres/min and 18,8 litres/min (20ft 3/h and 40 ft3/h).
Turbocharged cars
1. Connect the flowmeter RH 8725 into the purge
line between the induction manifold and the purge
control duty cycle valve.
2. Start and run the engine until normal operating
temperature is attained. Stop the engine.
3. To carry out the test start the engine and run at
idle speed.
4. Note that the purge control system has three
phases of operation, as follows.
Phase 1 - 90 seconds delay before purge after
starting the engine.
Phase 2 - 1 50 seconds active purge.
Phase 3 - 1 5 seconds interval with no purge to
allow the lambda pre-control system {if
fitted) to learn previous purge/driving
cycles.
Continued engine operation results in alternating
Phases of 150 seconds active purge and 105 seconds
no purge ( phases 1 and 3 = 90 seconds + 15
seconds).
Note Operation 4 does not apply to turbocharged cars
fitted with a fuel evaporative emission control
system that are produced to a Middle East or
Taiwan specification.
5. Increase the engine speed to 2000 ± 50
rev/min by opening the throttles.
6. Check that the purge flow rate is between
53 ft/h and 106 ft:3/h (25 litres/min and 50
litres/min}, in the 150 seconds active purge phase
( refer to Operation 4}.
All cars
If the flow is less than the minimum, check for the
following.
1. Leak in hoses/pipes.
2. Blockage in hoses/pipes.
3. Control system malfunction.
If the flow is in excess of the maximum, check for
the following.
1. Excessively lean mixture strength.
2. Air leak between the throttle body and the
induction manifold.

Crankcase emission control system
Crankcase emissions are controlled by a closed
breather system (see figs. H2-1 and H2-21.
The purpose of the system is to maintain a
depression in the crankcase under all operating
conditions. To achieve this, crankcase emissions
(engine blow-by) are drawn from a connection on the
engine oil filler and pass. via a flame trap in the
breather housing. into the induction system where
they mix with the inlet charge of fuel and air. Once in
the induction system the gases are drawn in to the
combustion chambers and finally burnt in the engine.
The breather housing has two inlet elbows and
two outlet connections. A wire mesh flame trap is
situated inside the housing. immediately behind the
inlet elbow from the crankcase.
The crankcase is connected to the breather
housing from the front of 'B' bank cylinder head via
the oil filler (which has a sealed cap). This inlet
elbow is connected inside the breather housing, to
the air intake duct connection.
The second inlet elbow connects the auxiliary air
valve or idle speed actuator to the breather housing.
This connection conveys air to the cold start injection
galleries in the induction manifold, via a second
outlet connection.
Both inlet elbows are connected inside the
housing by a small diameter hole.

Naturally aspirated cars
Under normal operating conditions, except when on
full throttle. crankcase emissions (engine blow-by)
flow from the oil filler via a moulded rubber hose to
the breather housing. They are then drawn through
the small internal connecting (metering) orifice. into
the induction manifold.
When approaching full throttle conditions.
manifold depression decreases and the crankcase
emissions are drawn from the breather housing to the
air intake duct. This is due to the increasing
depression created by the air cleaner and associated
ducting.
A depression is therefore maintained within the
crankcase under all normal operating conditions.
Turbocharged cars
With the system fitted to turbocharged engines the
breather housing is more complex. The system has to
function with either a depression or when under
boost conditions, a pressure existing in the induction
manifold.
The basic connections and operation when a
depression exists in the induction manifold are very
similar for both systems. However, during boost
conditions two metal disc valves and a rubber
diaphragm control and direct the flow of the
crankcase emissions (see fig. H2-5).

Airflow at idle and low power output
Under these conditions a large depression in the
induction manifold draws blow-by gas from the
crankcase via a calibrated restrictor. This signal is
also communicated via internal drillings to the
chamber above the diaphragm valve (1).
When the crankcase depression increases to a
predetermined level [101,60 mm (4.0 in) H2 0] the
signal raises the diaphragm from its seat. This opens
a passage for filtered engine intake air to by-pass the
valve disc (2) and combine with the crankcase blowby gas. Thus the mix or ratio of intake air to blow-by
gas maintains the correct crankcase depression.
A summary is that disc valve 3 is fully open, disc
valve 2 is fully closed and diaphragm valve 1 does
not oscillate but stabilizes during steady state engine
conditions at a position where it maintains the
correct manifold depression.

Airflow at idle and low power output
Airflow at intermediate load
The intermediate load illustration is theoretical and
will not normally happen as shown. A combination of
events is illustrated whereas in practice these will
rarely happen together.
Due to the depression in the induction manifold
valve disc 3 is open and blow-by gas will flow from
the crankcase. through the restrictor passage, into ·
the manifold.
The diaphragm valve compares the depression in
the crankcase with that after the air intake filter. The
air filter depression is negligible and therefore valve

disc 2 is closed, unless the airflow through the
restrictor becomes less than the amount of blow-by
(i.e. the crankcase pressure tends towards
atmospheric) when disc valve 2 will open. Blow-by
will then also pass to the engine air intake and
crankcase depression will be controlled.
If the crankcase depression is greater than
[ 101,60mm (4.0in) H2 0] (valve disc 2 will be closed)
the diaphragm lifts off its seat to control the
crankcase depression and provide an additional route
for the blow-by gas.

Airflow at intermediate load
Airflow at high load
At high loads the induction manifold is under boost
conditions hence valve disc 3 is forced to close off
the restrictor passage.
Valve disc 2 is sucked open due to the.
depression behind the air filter.
The engine breathes by drawing the blow-by gas
from the crankcase through the breather housing and
into the engine air intake ducting. In this condition

the crankcase depression is solely controlled by the
depression after the air filter.
At crankcase depressions greater than 101.60
mm (4.0 in) H2 0 the diaphragm lifts off its seat and
provides an additional minor route for the blow-by
gas to pass on its way to the engine air intake
ducting.
Crankcase depression - To check
1. Remove the engine dipstick.
2. Connect a water manometer via a suitable hose
to the dipstick tube.
3. Start and run the engine at idle speed.
4. Check the reading on the manometer which
should be as follows.

Air intake system
The air i ntake system (see figs. J2-1 and J2-3) i s
similar for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged
eng ines.
Air enters the system behi nd the right -hand side
of t he front bumper and is conveyed, by a p lastic
ducting, into the lower half of the filter hou si ng. The
housing is located inside the eng ine compartment at
t he forward end of the wing v alance.
The air is drawn upwards through the filter
element situated in the top cover of the hou sing. It
then travels vi a further ducting and a turbocharger
assembly (if fitted), through the cast aluminium alloy
intake elbow and on 10 the air meter housing.
Naturally aspirated engines have a bbck plastic
diffu ser fitted into the ducting in front of the cas t
aluminium i ntake elbow. This is to elimi nate the
resona nce or noise generated within the system at
low engine speeds.
An air bleed is situated in the re ar face of the
ducting just p rior to the intake system entering the
filter housing. The purpose of this is to ensu re that the
engine will continue to run should the main intake
become temp orarily blocked.
A connection moulded into the side of the filter
housing is used to vent the air injection system into
the air intake system. On engines not fitted with an air
injection system t his connect ion rem ains blanked.

Section K2
Throttle linkage
The procedures described relate to a complete
overhaul of the throttle linkage mechanism. In
service, the operator need only select those passages
relevant to his particular task.
The throttle linkages fitted to all models are very
similar (see fig. K2-2) and can be divided into three
basic sub-assemblies as follows.
Throttle body linkage
The linkage fitted to the primary and secondary
throttle spindles is identical for all cars. However.
there is an area at the rear of the throttle housing
where a permutation of one or two stub pipe(s) and
blank(s) prevents the assembly from being
interchangeable.
Intermediate linkage
The intermediate linkage is very similar for all cars.
the only minor differences being in the length and
shape of the long rod and lower jaw connecting the
mechanism to the underfloor linkage.
2
Underfloor linkage
This linkage is similar for the various models but
naturally differs between left-hand drive and righthand drive.
Throttle body linkage - To overhaul
1. Withdraw the starter relay.
Note If the throttle housing is not to be removed
carry out Operation 3 and then proceed to
Operation 6.
2. Remove the mixture control unit, refer to
Chapter B.
3. Unscrew the nut and withdraw the pinch bolt
from the control rod to throttle body linkage joint.
Unscrew the joint pad and r.elease the ball.
4. Disconnect the spring from both the front and
rear of the linkage.
5. Unscrew the four setscrews that secure the
throttle housing to the induction manifold. Collect the
washers, withdraw the housing and gasket. Blank off
the manifold openings.
6. Release the lock-washer from around both the
primary and the secondary throttle spindle securing
nuts.
7. Withdraw the linkage and collect the metal
sealing washer from each spindle.
8. Unscrew both screws retaining the throttle
position switch. Collect the washers and withdrnw
the switch.
9. Lightly mark the throttle butterflies to ensure
that they are assembled in their original positions.
10. Carefully close the split legs of the butterfly
screws. Unscrew the retaining screws and withdraw
the butterflies.

wear and excessive play.
15. Ensure that the throttle butterflies and their
respective seating areas are not damaged.
16. Before fitting the butterfly shaft bearings, ensure
that the outer surface of each is coated with an
approved sealant (i.e. Wellseal).
17. Examine the linkage mechanism and springs for
damage or breakage.
18. Assemble the throttle body by reversing the
procedure given for dismantling, noting that a new
gasket should be fitted between the throttle housing
and the manifold. Also note the following basic
settings that must be carried out.
19. Check the throttle stop screws, to ensure that
there is a gap of 0,0381 mm (0.0015 inl between the
raised edge of the secondary butterfly disc and the
throttle body, with the throttle body linkage resting
against the secondary throttle adjustment screw. If
there is any discrepancy between the gaps on each
secondary butterfly disc it is the larger gap that
should comply with the dimension quoted.
To adjust the gap, first unscrew and remove the
original locking screw (without a headl. A new
locking screw will then be required.
If new parts are to be fitted the gap should be
set by rotating the adjustment screw. Screw in the
new locking screw until it just contacts the top of
the adjustment screw. Do not tighten to break off the
head.
20. Repeat Operation 19 on the primary throttle
butterfly discs.
21. If necessary (i.e. when new parts have been
fitted) tighten the primary throttles locking screw
until '.he head of the screw breaks off. Ensure that
the adjustment screw situated below the locking
screw has not moved by checking that the gap
between the primary throttle butterfly discs and their
respective bore is still 0,0381 mm (0.0015 in!.
If movement has occurred. adjust by filing the
underside of the adjusting screw.
Note If new parts have been_ fitted, do not break
the head off the secondary locking screw. This
is carried out during the engine tuning sequence
given in Chapter 8.
22. Fit the throttle position switch, setscrews, and
washers. Lightly clamp the switch. Rotate the switch
to a position where the switch 'clicks' closed as the
primary throttle lever touches its stop. Tighten the
switch securing screws and then check that the
switch does not prevent the primary lever from
resting against its stop.
23. Connect a multi-meter across the pins marked 2
and 18 on the switch and carry out a continuity test.
Ensure that the switch contacts are closed !circuit
continuous) with the throttles closed and that the
switch opens as the throttles just begin to move
open.
24. Connect the multi-meter across the pins marked 3
and 18 on the switch and carry out a continuity test.
Ensure that when the primary throttles are moved to
5/88

the fully open position the switch contacts close
(circuit continuous).
25. Unscrew (openl the idle speed setting screw five
complete turns from the fully closed position.
Note On 1989 model year turbocharged cars this
screw should remain fully closed.
26. The throttle body and linkage are now complete
as a sub-assembly with all the basic settings carried
out.
27. Fit the throttle body and linkage assembly to the
induction manifold.
Throttle linkage - To assemble and set (see fig. K2-21
All bearings and ball joints should be lubricated with
Molytone 265 grease prior to assembly.
When adjusting a ball joint, always screw the
adjustable pad fully in and then gradually slacken it
until there is free movement of the joint. without
free play.
1. Set the accelerator pedal off-stop screw to an
initial length of 30.38 mm 11.20 in). This dimension

No 1 The fitting of two air pressure transducers
During production of the 1987 model year Bentley
Turbo R. a change was introduced to the method of
signalling induction manifold pressure lo both the fuel
injection system ECU and the boost control system ECU.
Originally, the signalling operation was carried out
by one air pressure transducer (APT). The unit received a
voltage feed from the fuel injection system ECU. Then.
dependent upon induction manifold pressure (either
positive or negative pressure). it electrically signalled the
information primarily to the fuel injection system ECU
and also to the boost control system ECU.
A modified crankcase was introduced during
production of 1987 model year cars. that resulted in a
change of frequency pick-up by the knock sensors,
during detonation. This demanded a finer tuned system
and therefore, a second identical APT was fitted adjacent
to the existing unit (see fig. N2-1 ).
The fuel injection system and the boost control
system now have their own APT which works
independently of the other. Each APT receives its voltage
feed from its own ECU and dependent upon induction
manifold pressure. electrically signals the information
back to its respective ECU.

No 2 1988 Model year changes
The information contained within this running change
up-dates the manual for 1988 model year cars.
The main changes to the various build
specifications affect cars produced to a Swiss or
Austrian specification. For the 1 988 model year these
cars are fitted with a catalytic converter and a power
train very similar to that fitted to cars produced to a
North American specification. The only differences are
that the Swiss and Austrian cars do not have an oxygen
sensor warning lamp on the facia. They do however.
have a new type of exhaust gas sample tapping (see fig.
N3-1) fitted in front of the catalytic converter.
The other change that affects all 1 988 model year
cars is that the model year identification letter in the
vehicle identification number (VIN) has changed. The
tenth digit in the VIN of 1988 model year cars is the
letter J (e.g. *SCAZS02A6JCX21057 * J.

No 3 K-Motronic ECU interrogator RH 12210
1989 model year Bentley Turbo R motor cars are
equipped with a Bosch K-Motronic engine
management system.
The K-Motronic electronic control unit (ECU)
provides a self diagnostic fault finding facility for the
eng ine management system.
On cars fitted with full emission control systems
including catalytic converters. this fault finding facility
is interpreted as a blink code via the facia mounted
CHECK ENGINE warning panel. Refer to Chapter B,
Section 84 for full details.
On all other 1989 model year turbocharged cars,
the K-Motronic ECU incorporates the self diagnostic
capabilitr but there is no 'on-board' facility for
displaying the information. To carry out a fault finding
check on these cars use test box RH 12210. This test
box will interrogate the K-Motronic ECU and exhibit
its findings as blink codes on the test box indicator
lamo.
The procedure for using the interrogator is as
follows.
l. Ensure that the usual workshop safety precautions
are carried out.
2. Open the cover to reveal the main fuseboard.
3. Closely inspect the area below and behind the
fuseboard (see fig. N4-1 ). Locate the two cables, one
green/yellow. the other black, taped back into the
loom. These two cables should be freed and positioned
as shown in the illustration.
Note If the ECU has not previously been interrogated
by this method it may be necessay to improve
access to the loom. Disconnect the battery. Refer
to TSO 4848 c1nd release the fuseboard assembly
from ils mounting. Carefully move the
fuseboard assembly into the car to provide the
improved access.
. Jf the ECU has been subjected to interrogation
by this method previously, the green/yellow and
the black cables will be readily accessible and
Operations 4 to 7 inclusive omitted.
4. Ensure that the two cables are insulated.
5. Connect the battery.
6. Carry out a thorough road test on the car.
7. Upon return, carry out the usual workshop safety
precautions. Ensure that the ignition is switched off
and withdraw fuse 85 from fuse panel F1 on the main
fuseboard.
8. Connect the test box RH 12210 to the car as shown
in figure N4-1.
9. Insert fuse 85 and note that the indicator lamp on
the test box is illuminated.
10. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
11. Depress the button on the test box for a minimum
of four seconds.
12. Release the button and monitor the blink code
displayed on the test box indicator lamp.

be revealed (see fig. N4-2).
The fault code 4.4.3.1. is shown in the illustration.
13. Once a blink code has been initiated, it will keep
repeating the information (with further initiation
periods identifying blink code commencement). until
the button on the test box is depressed for another four

This procedure must be repeated until all stored
blink codes have been extracted from the K-Motronic
ECU.
14. lf there are no more fault codes stored, the
condition is identified by the unique code 1.1.1.1. The
test box indicator lamp on/off periods for this code are
of 2.5 seconds duration.
15. To reset the ECU following fault extraction and/or
rectification, isolate the vehicle battery for more than
four seconds. Use the master switch located in the
luggage compartment. whenever possible.

No 4 Atlas Copco belt tension meter RH 12211
When checking the tension of the air pump driving belt.
use the Atlas Copco tension meter RH 12211.
The tension meter consists of two main
components. the clamping unit, incorporating a
hydraulic cylinder and a trigger operated read-out unit
(see fig. N 5-1 ).
The tension meter shou Id be fitted close to the midpoint of the drive belt span, as shown in figure N5-2.
The procedure for using the tension meter is as
follows.
1. Ensure that the usual workshop safety precautions
are carried out.
2. Ensure that the engine is cold. A warm engine will
return a higher belt tension reading.
3. Inspect the drive belt for either cracks or glazing.
Renew the belt if necessary.
4. Examine the back of the drive belt around the midpoint of the span. If any irregularities are found where
the clamping unit is to be fitted, rotate the engine until
the area of the belt is acceptable.
5. Belt tension readings should always be taken over
one belt only. Therefore. the belt blocker should be
fitted prior to using the gauge for the first time and
thereafter remain in position in the clamping unit (see
fig. N5-1 ).
6. Open the jaws of the clamping unit by applying
pressure at the two points indicated by the arrows in
figure N5-1.
7. Position the clamping unit with the jaws open, onto
the mid-point of the belt span as shown in figure N5-2.
Release the clamping unit.
8. Initially, adjust the small Allen screw situated on
the top of the clamping unit until the clamping unit wi II
only just slide along the belt. This operation need only
be carried out if the clamping unit is a poor fit on the
belt.
9. Squ_eeze the trigger of the read-out unit. The
reading displayed on the gauge when the red lamp
illuminates is the belt tension.
Repeat this procedure until the clamping unit has
settled on the belt and the readings become consistent.
Note this figure.
10. Remove the clamping unit from the belt.
11. Rotate the engine.
12. Repeat Operations 6 to 9 inclusive. The average of
the two noted readings is the drive belt tension.
If the two readings vary by more than 45 N (10 lbf),
take a tt·,ird reading by again removing the clamping
unit, rotating the engine, and repeating Operations 6
to 9 inclusive. Discard the exceptional value and then
average the two remaining readings.
13. Do not adjust the drive belt unless the tension has
fallen below the minimum acceptable tension of
200 N (40 lbf).
14. If necessary, adjust the belt tension as described
in Chapter F, of this Workshop Manual. The air pump

drive belt should be tensioned to a figure of between
250 N and 300 N (5.5 lbf and 65 lbf).
15. When adjusting the tension of the drive belt, the
following points should be noted.
a) the belt should be cold.
bl rotate the engine and check the belt tension several
times until a consistent reading is obtained.
c) the pivot fixings should not be loosened by more
than is necessary to allow the belt to be tensioned.
