INTAKE CIRCUIT

The intake circuit consists of the following components:

- air cleaner with sleeves;
- acoustic resonator fitted in parallel with intake sleeve;
- inlet manifold, to which the fuel manifold is fitted;
- butterfly valve case, fitted with the throttle position sensor, PCV (Positive Crank Ventilation) valve for
the oil vapour recycling circuit and the engine idle adjustment solenoid.

THROTTLE CASE

The butterfly valve case is responsible for metering the quantity of air supplied to the engine (and thus
controlling engine power output) according to accelerator position determined by the driver.
The butterfly valve case is fastened to the intake manifold by four screws. The throttle is opened by a
linkage with configuration designed to open the throttle by a small amount when the pedal is hardly
pressed (provided pedal travel remains the same) and open it by large amounts when the pedal is
pressed down further.
With the pedal fully released (engine in over-run or idling), the additional air required is supplied by an
engine idle adjustment solenoid. Under these conditions, the throttle opening lever comes into contact
with an anti-bind screw, which prevents the throttle becoming locked in closed position.
To prevent the build-up of ice around the throttle and the hole leading to the PCV valve, the butterfly
valve case is heated by directing a small amount of coolant from the engine thermostat around a cham-
ber inside the case.
The oil vapour recirculation system PCV valve and throttle position sensor are also fitted on the butterfly
valve case.

The anti-bind screw is set by flushing in the factory and should never be tamperedwith.

Principle of operation

Plunger position depends on effective cur-

This in turn sets up a magnetic field, which
attracts the core.
An effective current change is obtained by
modulating core power supply (duty-cycle
control).
This form of control involves altering voltage

FUEL FEED CIRCUIT

The fuel supply circuit is made up of the following components:

- fuel tank;
- pump submerged in tank, fitted with mesh pre-filter;
- fuel filter;
- outlet line;
- injectors;
- fuel pressure regulator;
- return line;
- anti-reflux valve.

FUELTANK

The fuel tank is located to the rear of the vehi-

cle.
Proceed as follows to gain access to the fuel
tank:
- remove the seats;
- remove bulkhead separating passenger
compartment and tank (behind seats).
It is not necessary to remove the tank in order
to remove the fuel pump. Simply lift the hood
cover and the part of the hood connected to
the body in order to gain access to an open-
ing covered by a flange. This can be used to
work on the pump.

FUEL FILTER

The filter is fitted along the fuel delivery line:

it consists of a sheet steel case and an inner
polyurethane mount about which is wound
an element with high filtering capacity.

NOTE An arrow on the outer caseindicates

the direction of fuel flow and thus
the correct installation direction.

Thefuel filter must be replacedat in-

tervals of 45,000 Km

ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP

The pump is housed inside the fuel tank in a holder, together with the fuel level indicator. It is fitted with
a mesh filter on the pump intake.
The pump is volumetric type (G-Rotor) and designed to work with unleaded fuel.
The rotor isinturned
controlled bythe
turn by an electric
ECU. d.c. motor supplied at battery voltage directly through the
- dual relay,

The motor is submerged in the fuel in order to clean and cool the brushes and commutator.
The pump is fitted with a pressure relief valve, which short-circuits delivery to intake if inlet circuit pres-
sure exceeds 5 bar. This prevents the electric motor overheating.
A check valve fitted in the delivery line prevents the entire fuel circuit emptying when the pump is not
working.
Rated pump output varies according to angular rotor speed and hence supply voltage: it is about 140 I/h
at a voltage of 12 V.

FUEL MANIFOLD

The fuel manifold distributes fuel to the injectors. It is pressure cast in aluminium and incorporates hous-
ings for injectors and pressure regulator.
The fuel intake is secured with bolts with tapered seals.
Fuel recirculation is via a pipe inside the manifold and connected to one end of the regulator and the op-
posite-end of the outer fuel return line.

P3W42AJO1

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

This differential diaphragm device is set to a pressure of 3.00 :I: 0.05 bar in the factory.
Pressurised fuel from the pump exercises thrust on reflux valve (7) countered by calibrated spring (8).
When pressure setting is exceeded, reflux valve opens and excess fuel returns to the tank in order to sta-
bilise pressure in the circuit.
The vacuum in the intake manifold (acting also on injector nozzle) acts on regulator diaphragm through
intake (9) in order to reduce the load on the calibration spring.
The.pressure differential between the fuel and the injector's surroundings (intake manifold) is therefore
maintained constant under all engine service conditions.
The injector flow (for a given supply voltage) thus depends solely on injection time established by the
ECU.

NOTE The ECU assumes pressure as a fixed parameter. The regulator should never therefore be tam-
pered with: otherwise the mixture concentration specified for the engine will be altered.

INJECTORS

The injector delivers the quantity of fuel the

engine requires for operation. Fuel ffi injected
into the intake duct immediately upstream of
the intake valve.
The injector is "top-feed" type and fed with
fuel from the rear of the case, which also
houses the electrical coil connected to con-
nector (6).
When current flows through the coil, the re-
sulting magnetic field attracts the plunger to
open the injector and allow the fuel to flow.
Because the pressure differential between in-
jector interior and exterior is constant (due to
the presence of a regulator), the quantity of
fuel supplied depends solely on opening time
established by the ECU provided electrical

INERTIA SAFETY SWITCH

The inertia switch cuts off electrical power to

the fuel pump if the vehicle experiences vio-
lent deceleration (impact). This prevents fuel
emerging and setting the vehicle on fire if the
fuel manifold or delivery lines are damaged.

The switch consists of a steel ball fitted inside

a tapered housing. It is held in position
through the attractive force of an permanent
magnet.
The ball may be released from the magnet un-
der the action of acceleration due to inertia
P3W44AJO1
forces, when it emerges gradually from the
tapered seat. Upwards movement is depen-
dent upon cone angle.
A quick-release mechanism above the ball
forms a normally closed (NC) circuit. When
struck by the ball, the mechanism changes
position to create a normally open (NA) cir-
cuit. This cuts off electrical power to the
pump and brings about arrest.
The injector setting sets off the mechanism at
acceleration levels in excess of 1.2 g (about
11.7 mjs2, corresponding to impact at a
speed of about 25 Kmjh).
The switch may be reset by pushing the top
button protected by a flexible cover.

P3W44AJO2

After evenan apparentlylight collision, if a smell of petrol is noted or fuel leaksare seen,do not
activatethe switch again until the fault hasbeenfound and correctedin order to avoid the risk of
fire.
If no leaks are noted and the vehicle is able to start, press the button to re-activate the pump.

EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES

The devices adopted for this purpose serve two purposes:
- remove pollutants present in exhaust emissions by means of a catalytic converter;
- prevent uncombusted hydrocarbons being lost to the atmosphere by means of an emission control
system (fuel) and oil vapour recirculation system (lubricant).

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The catalytic converterallows the three main pollutant compounds in exhaustgasesto be removedsi-
multaneously:uncombusted hydrocarbons(HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Two types of chemical reaction take place inside the catalytic converter
- oxidation of CO and HC to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O);
- reduction of NOx to nitrogen (N2).
Thesereactionstake pl.acevery quickly due to the presenceof a layerof active substance(platinum and
rhodium) inside the structure (ceramic mount). This acceleratesthe conversion rate of harmful sub-
stancesenormously.
The efficiency of this conversionprocessis also affected by the fact that the engine fuel mixture fluctu-
atescontinually about a stoichiometric level.This is achievedby the ECU implementingfeedbackcon-
trol on the basis of signals from the lambda probe.
Becausethe conversionprocessesareactive at temperaturesin excessof 300 - 350°Cthe catalytic con-
verter must be able to reach this temperature as quickly as possible in order to work properly.

P3W45AJO1

1. Ceramic block
2. Metal support
3. Outer steel case

When working in the vicinity of the catalytic converter,leave the vehicle standing for a period
becausethe working temperatureinside the catalytic converteris from 500 to 850°C.

The interior of the catalytic converter can be destroyedby two main causes:
- presenceof lead in the fuel, which reducesconversionto practically negligible levels ("lead
poisoning") and also damagesthe lambdaprobe irreversibly:
- presenceof unburnt fuel in exhaustgas due to missedignitions. Thisbrings about such a big
temperatureincreasethat the ceramicmount melts. Thecoil connectorshould thereforenever
be disconnectedwhen the engineis running for any reason.Whentesting,replacethe exhaust
pipe with an equivalentlength of piping.

Fiat barchetta Engine
Fuel system

The emission control system prevents fuel vapour (the lighter hydrocarbon fractions formed mainly in
the tank) from being released into the atmosphere.
The system consists of a tank, vapour separator, two float valves, one two-way ventilation valve, a car-
bon filter and a carbon filter flushing solenoid, controlled by an ECU. The plug contains a two-way pres-
sure relief valve.

Principle of operation

The system operates particularly with high outdoor temperatures when fuel temperature increase and
evaporation rate is higher. Pressure increases inside the tank under these circumstances.
Even when tank (1) is full, the two float valves (3) remain open because they are located higher than the
breather pipe and therefore allow fuel vapour to reach separator (2) under all circumstances to prevent
fuel escaping.
Fuel vapour reaches carbon filter (6) when pressure inside the tank brings about opening of ventilation
valve (8). This valve also allows air into the tank through the carbon filter if this proves necessary fol-
lowing a drop in fuel level.
When the engine is running, the ECU turns on the carbon filter flushing solenoid. This allows vapour to
be taken up by the engine in order to flush the carbon filter.
If pressure inside the tank rises to dangerous levels as a result of component malfunction, the pressure
relief valve located in plug (4) allows pressure to vent outside. If necessary, this valve may open in the
opposite direction to ventiiate the tank and prevent the vacuum reaching excessive levels.

Float valve

The float valve allows vapour to flow out toward the separator without allowing liquid fuel to emerge.
This valve contains a float with ends designed to close off the valve outlet hole under the following con-
ditions:
- high acceleration laterally (vehicle cornering) or longitudinally (vehicle braking) and movement of
the fuel mass due to inertia forces;
- vehicle rolling over.

2. Fuel pushesfloat upward due to high acceleration:valve closed;
3. Vehicle rolled over: valve closed.

Fuel vapour separator

Fuel vapours from the anti-rollover valves

reach the separator located on the left rear
wheel arch through two ducts (1).
The separator consists of an outer case (2)
enclosing several perforated plates (3) on
which a proportion of the fuel condenses.
Condensed fuel returns to the tank through
ducts (1), while vapours leave the central
duct to the carbon filter.

Two-way ventilation valve

The ventilation valve allows vapours to flow

back to the activated charcoal filter when the
pressure in the tank causes the valve to open.

The valve also allows ventilation air coming

from the activated charcoal filter connection
to pass to the tank, when the latter is under a
slight vacuum.

Charcoal filter

This consists of a mass (4) of charcoal gran-

ules which withhold the fuel vapours coming
from the connection (5).
The scrubbing air enters from the connection
(1), passes through the paper filter (3), en-
velops the granules, removes and conveys
the vapours towards the outlet connection
(2) connected through the scrubbing sole-
noid to the inlet manifold,
The baffle (6) ensures that the charcoal mass
is scrubbed evenly.
The air can also be recalled through the con-
nection (1) by the vacuum in the tank.
The springs (7) compensate for the expan-
sions of the charcoal mass.

Charcoal filter scrubbing solenoid

This valve, of the normally closed type, con-

trols the flow of vapours reaching the inlet
manifold, and is driven by the control unit in
duty-cycle.

CRANKCASE GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM (BLOW-BY)

The system controls the emissions from the crankcase of the vent gases, which consist of air mixtures,
fuel vapours and burnt gases which leak from the piston rings, and the lubricating oil vapours, drawing
them back into the engine where they are burnt.
The vent gases coming from the crankcase go back as far as the cylinder head, and are conveyed in two
different suction connections:
- with the throttle medium-wide open, the gases are drawn by the duct immediately downstream of the
air cleaner (detail A);
- with the throttle open only slightly (and in particular with the engine idling or overrunning), the gases
are drawn through the PCV (Positive Crank Ventilation) valve mounted on the throttle body down-
stream of the throttle (detail B).
