Outline
Changes the fuel pressure applied to the fuel injector according to engine operation conditions to improve engine output and startability.
The PCM determines the fuel pressure value corresponding to the engine operation conditions based on the each input signal, and drives the spill valve control solenoid valve for optimum control of fuel pressure.

OPERATION
Directly after engine start
During a cold engine start, the fuel pressure is raised to promote fuel atomization.
Basic Control
The PCM determines the target fuel pressure according to charging efficiency and performs feedback control by monitoring the fuel pressure in the fuel delivery pipe using the fuel pressure sensor.
When idling after engine warm up: Approx. 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm2, 435 psi}
After engine warm up, engine speed is 3,000 rpm or more, charging efficiency is 60 % or more: Approx. 15.0 MPa {153 kgf/cm2, 2176 psi}

Steering Shaft Inspection
1. Inspect the steering column for excessive play and damage.
2. Verify that the clearance between the projection on the steering column shown
in the figure and the bracket is less than 2.0 mm {0.079 in}.

Expansion Valve
Purpose
The expansion valve atomizes liquid refrigerant to facilitate cooling of
the evaporator.
Function
The expansion valve reduces the pressure of liquid refrigerant rapidly to
facilitate vaporization of the atomized refrigerant at the evaporator, and adjusts
the refr ...
