PGM-FI System Description - Overview
Engine Improvement
Two inlet valves and two exhaust valves are located in a pent roof type combustion chamber. In addition, combustion efficiency is improved while higher intake and exhaust efficiency is achieved by the optimization of the engine specifications, including the compression ratio, ignition timing and valve timing. An electronic fuel injection system is adopted for the fuel supply system. The PCM corrects the fuel consumption based on the feedback signals from the A/F sensor and secondary heated oxygen sensor.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR pipe, the EGR cooler, the intake manifold, and into the combustion chambers. Routing the exhaust gas through the EGR pipe helps to prevent carbon deposits from forming in the intake manifold and the throttle body. The PCM memory includes the ideal EGR valve position for varying operating conditions.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor.

Engine Compartment PCM
For serviceability and weight-reduction the wire harness has been shortened. The PCM is now positioned near the air cleaner in the engine compartment.
To ensure the PCM operation in the engine compartment, the PCM main body and the connectors are waterproof. When diagnostic/troubleshooting is done at the PCM connector, use the terminal test port above the terminal you need to check, not the wire side.
