AIR BYPASS VALVE ASSEMBLY:
TITLE: Air Bypass Valve BASIC PART NO. 9F715 SYMBOL: None
DESCRIPTION
The air bypass solenoid is used to control engine idle speed and is operated by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) module.
The valve allows air to pass around the throttle plates to control:
^ Cold engine fast idle.
^ No touch start.
^ Dashpot.
^ Over temperature idle boost.
^ Engine idle load correction.
DIAGNOSIS
With all accessory loads off and the engine at curb idle, the signal to the solenoid should be 1.0 volts or less for 1.6L EFI, and between 2.5 and 4.5 volts for 2.3L and 5.0L truck EFI.
Applying 12 volts to the solenoid will cause a Neutral idle speed change greater than 1000 rpm.
For diagnosis, refer to EEC Diagnosis, Sections 19 through 22.
FUEL INJECTORS:
TITLE: Fuel Injector BASIC PART NO. 9F593 SYMBOL: None
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Injector is a solenoid operated valve that meters fuel flow to the engine. The injector is opened and closed a constant number of times per crank revolution. The amount of fuel is controlled by the length of time it is held open.
The injector is normally closed and is operated by a signal from the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) module.
DIAGNOSIS
Coil resistance should be 1.0 to 2.0 Ohms for Tempo/Topaz applications, 1.5 to 3.0 Ohms for all other passenger cars, and 14 to 17 Ohms for 2.3L and 5.0L trucks.
NOTE: Do not apply 12 volts to the injector. The solenoid will be damaged internally in a matter of seconds.
For diagnosis, refer to the EEC Diagnosis, Sections 19 through 22.
