Section 1 Basic Structure and Working Principle of Engine

I. Basic Structure of Engine

Engine provides power to the automobile. Presently, internal combustion engine is widely applied in the automobile. Its
a kind of thermal machine that can control the fuel combustion in the cylinder to generate heat energy effectively, and then
convert the heat energy into mechanical energy that drives the piston in the cylinder to make reciprocating movement as
the way to output the power by the connecting rod, the crankshaft and the flywheel. The automobile runs with the power
transferred by the internal combustion engine to the automobile driving mechanism. Most of the internal combustion
engines providing power to the automobile are gasoline or diesel engines based on the fuel for combustion. The power to
GEELY car comes from the gasoline engine equipped with the electronic fuel injection system. Its made of the machine
unit, crank connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, ignition system, cooling system, lubricating system,
startup system and management system.

1. Machine Unit
The machine unit is mainly composed of cylinder head, cylinder block and oil pan. Its the basis of assembling the
engine mechanisms and systems, and the base to support the engine in normal operation. In another word, many parts of
the machine unit have multiple specific functions. For example, the internal walls of cylinder block and cylinder head make
up the combustion room, but they are also the components of crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, fuel supply system,
cooling system and lubricating system. The machine unit is designed to bear ultra heat or mechanical load.

2. Crankshaft Connecting Rod Mechanism

The crankshaft connecting rod mechanism is composed of body, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, flywheel and crank
shield. It converts the heat generated by engine combustion into mechanical energy, namely, converts the piston linear
reciprocating movement into the crankshaft and flywheel rotations, and then the flywheel outputs the power. The flywheel
is designed to keep the engine in stable rotation by the rotating inertia.

3. Intake Mechanism
The intake mechanism is composed of cylinder head, intake valve, exhaust valve, cam shaft, tappet, valve spring, cam
shaft timing gear, and timing belt. The intake mechanism is designed to open the intake valve in time, take in the combustible gas mixture into the cylinder, and emit the post-combustion exhaust gas out of the cylinder in time.

4. Fuel Supply System

The fuel supply system is composed of gasoline pump, gasoline filter, gasoline distribution pipe, pressure regulator, fuel
injector, fuel tank, air filter, throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, exhaust gas purifier, and exhaust muffler. The
fuel supply system is designed to mix gasoline and air into high-quality combustible gas mixture, send it to the cylinder for
combustion, and emit the exhaust gas out of the engine.

5. Ignition System
The ignition system is composed of storage battery, engine, ignition coil, high-voltage wire and spark plug. The ignition
system is designed to make sure the compressed gas mixture to be ignited right at the preset moment. The ignition system is one
of the characteristics of gasoline engine to differentiate from the diesel engine.

6. Cooling System
The cooling system is composed of pump, radiator, fan, water inlet and outlet pipes, thermostat, the drain valve of
cylinder, and the gas water cavity. The cooling system is designed to emit the thermal energy in the heated components to
the air, so that the engine can work under thermo-equilibrium with powerful, cost-effective, reliable and durable features.

7. Lubricating System
The lubricating system is composed of oil pan, oil collector and filter, oil pump, pressure limit pump, as well as oil
passage, oil filter, and oil gauge in the machine unit. The lubricating system is designed to transmit the lubricant onto the
working surfaces of components in relative motion, so as to have the surfaces lubricated, cooled, sealed, antirust-treated
and cleaned, and in this way guarantee a normal and reliable operation for the engine.

8. Startup System
The startup system is composed of startup motor and its accessories. Its designed to start up the engine from statistic
mode to automatic operation.

9. Engine Management System

The engine management system is also called the engine control system. Its composed of sensors that measure the
engine operation status and parameters, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the controlled acting components.
The system is based on the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), with ECU controlling the Electronic Spark Advance (ESA)
and the Idle Speed Control (ISC) so that the engine works in optimal condition.

II. Operational Principle of Engine

The engine works continuously to convert the heat generated by combustion into the mechanical energy. It never stops
repeating the 4 strokes in the cylinder, including intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke.
Below is a description of an operational cycle of 4-stroke gasoline engine, taking a single-cylinder engine shown in Fig.
1 as an example.

TDC
Piston Stroke
BDC

Fig. 1 Working Principle of Engine

An operational cycle of 4-stroke engine is made of the intake, compression, power and exhaust strokes. When the
piston moves from Top Dead Center (TDC) to the Bottom Dead Center (BDC), the crank turns 180. The distance from TDC
to BDC is called piston stroke.

1. Intake Stroke
The intake stroke is the process of taking in the combustible gas mixture into the cylinder. The intake valve opens right
before the piston approaches the TDC, and the exhaust valve closes immediately after the piston goes down. The intake
and exhaust valves form a proper overlap angle when theyre open simultaneously, which helps emitting the exhaust gas
effectively and improving the scavenge quality with the gas inertia. As the piston goes down further, the gas capacity
expands to produce ultra vacuum in the cylinder, so more gas mixture is taken in. When the piston reaches the BDC, the
intake valve is still open. Till the piston goes up and more combustible gas mixture goes into the cylinder with inertia, the
intake valve will close after the crank turns to the proper delay angle.
If the operational capacity of cylinder is fixed, in order to enable the engine to produce more power, the gas mixture
shall be taken in as much as possible in the intake stroke. In this sense, multiple valves, turbine mid-air cooler and
electronic fuel injector are applied to produce more high-quality combustion gas mixture

2. Compression Stroke
The compression stroke is the process of compressing the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder. The piston goes up
from the BDC, with the intake and exhaust valves closed. The pressure and temperature of combustible gas mixture in the
cylinder increase rapidly, so the heat-atomized fuel and gas become more even that helps improving the combustion
quality and the power capability. As improving the compression pressure may result in certain danger, the compression
ratio shall be keep at the best level. Improving properly the engine compression ratio, i.e. the ratio of maximal cylinder
capacity vs post-compression minimal capacity, may make the engine more powerful and cost-effective.

3. Power Stroke
The power stroke is the process in that the combustible gas mixture burns and expands to generate power in the
cylinder. At this moment, the intake valve is still closed. Before the piston goes up the TDC, the temperature and pressure
of gas mixture increase a lot, which drives the ECU to select and figure out the best ignition timing, and then the spark plug
will generate spark to ignite the combustible gas mixture. The gas mixture burns and releases heat that makes the
temperature and pressure increase sharply in the cylinder, and the maximal pressure occurs at the crank angle of 10 to
20 after reaching TDC. When the piston goes down after reaching the TDC, the expansion-to-power process begins. The
piston drives the crank and flywheel rotating with the connecting rod, and outputs the driving torque. When the piston
reaches the BDC, the power stroke ends. In order to keep the engine more powerful, cost-effective and less-polluting, we
have made great efforts to improve the combustion, make full use of the fuel, and purify the exhaust gas, and well go on
with the efforts

4. Exhaust Stroke
The exhaust stroke is the process of emitting exhaust gas out of the cylinder. Before the piston goes down to the BDC
in the power stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the hot combustion gas turns to be exhaust gas after the expansion-topower process, and then begins to go out of the cylinder. The piston goes up after it reaches the BDC, and the exhaust gas
is extruded. Before the piston reaches the TDC, the intake valve begins to open for scavenge. Of course, when the piston
reaches the TDC, the exhaust valve will close after a period of delay.
The piston goes down from the TDC into a new operational cycle. With the operational cycles made up of the abovementioned 4 strokes, the engine works repeatedly and outputs non-stop power that drives the car forward

III. Engine performance curve

Engine feature refers to the rule in that the engine performance indicators change with the operational conditions. The
speed feature of engine is commonly used to define the rule in that the power, torque and fuel consumption ratio change
with the rotating speed in the case of fixed engine load (the throttle opening angle is fixed). The speed feature in the case
of full engine load (the throttle is completely opened) is called the exterior feature. The exterior feature curve describes the
maximal power, maximal torque, minimal specific fuel consumption of engine and the corresponding changes of engine
rotation speed, as shown in Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13.

Section 5 Maintenance of Engine

1. Maintenance Periods and Maintenance Content

In order to extend the engine life, the maintenance shall comply with the following procedures during its running.
1. Daily maintenance
a

Check the gasoline, cooling water and oil levels, and add in if necessary.

b Remove the dust or spilled electrolyte on the storage batteries, so as to make sure that the ventilation hole is unblocked.
When the electrolyte is insufficient, add in the distilled water in time.
a

Check the leakage of oil or water.

Judge whether the engine runs properly after its startup through listening, and check the instrument operations.

2. Maintenance per 1,000km of driving

a

Complete the daily maintenance.

Check and adjust what are necessary.

Check the electrolyte proportion or voltage of storage batteries.

Check whether the connectors of ECU, generator, spark plug and other electrical accessories are loose.

Check whether all parts of the gasoline engine are well fastened.

3. Maintenance per 5000km-drive

a

Complete the maintenance per 1,000km of driving.

Check whether the storage batteries develop crack or have electricity leakage.

Check whether the generator works properly.

Replace the oil.

4. Seasonal maintenance
a

Add anti-freezer into coolant in the winter days.

Adjust the concentration of storage battery electrolyte on seasonal basis.

II. Maintenance of Lubricating System

Specification of applicable oil: SAE10W-30 or SAE10W-40, SAE15W-40: frigid zone: SAE5W-30. API grade: above SG.
1. Check whether the engine oil is in bad quality, mixed with water, fading or diluted. Replace
the oil in case the quality apparently deteriorates.
2. Check the oil level
The oil level shall be between L and F in the oil ruler 5 minutes after the engine stops working. If its too low, check the
leakage and add in oil to the mark F, but never above F.

3. Replace with new oil

Discharge the oil completely after it works for a period, and replace with the new oil. During the course of replacement,
discharge the used oil from the oil pan when the engine is still hot. If theres a large quantity of impurities in the oil pan,
wash them out with light spindle oil, but never wash with gasoline or coal oil.
Clean the oil-filling port before injecting oil in it, so as to prevent the impurities from entering together. After adding in the
oil, wait for 5 minutes before checking the height of oil level. After the injection is completed, put on the cap.

III. Maintenance of Cooling System

When the engine is running, there must be enough cooling water in the cooling system to make sure that the engine
works properly. Therefore, before each drive, the driver shall check and add in timely clean soft water, but is not allowed to
use the unprocessed hard water with high content of alkali or mineral substances.
There shall be no excess rust or furring on the radiator cover or around the water-filling hole of radiator. Mix the high-quality
glycol-based coolant according to the manufactures instruction (the recommended concentration is above 50%, but no
higher than 70%), and never use the ethanol-based coolant.

IV. Check of Engine

1. Check and Replacement of Timing belt
Check whether the belt is installed properly. If any belt gear tooth is broken or damaged, check whether the camshaft is
stuck; if theres observable crack or damage on the belt surface, check the positions of belt pilot wheel and each belt wheel;
if the belt gear tooth wears apparently, check whether the timing belt cover is damaged, or installed improperly, or if any
alien substance exists on the belt gear tooth, and replace the belt if necessary. In normal case replace the belt after each
120,000km of driving.
Note: Dont bend, twist or turn outwards the timing belt, and keep the timing belt off oil, water or vapor.

2. Check and Measurement of Valve Clearance

Note: Check and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is in cold state.
a

Turn the crankshaft pulley to align the V groove on it to the timing mark O on the No.1 timing belt cover. Check

whether the mark K on the camshaft timing pulley is in line with the timing mark U on the bearing cover. If not, turn the
crankshaft a circle (360).
b Measure the clearance between the 1, 2 cylinder intake cam and the 1, 3cylinder exhaust cam and the valve tappet with
the thickness meter, and make sure it comply with: 0.15 to 0.25mm for intake, and 0.25 to 0.35mm for exhaust.
c Turn the crankshaft pulley for a circle to align the V groove on it with the timing mark O on the No.1 timing belt cover.
Check and measure the clearance of 3. 4 cylinder intake valve and 2, 4 cylinder exhaust valve. In normal case, check and
adjust the valve clearance per 40, 000km (or 24 months).

3. Check of Pump Driving (V-type) Belt

Check the belt per 10,000km-drive (or 6 months), as follows:
(1) Check visually whether the driving belt groove over-wears, the
98N

sennit looses, or the spoke is striped. Replace the belt if damage is

found.
(2) Impose the belt with the pressure of 98N (10Kgf), and make

Water pump

AC

sure the belt deflection is:

= 7 to 9mm for new belt; and = 11.5 to 13.5mm for old belt.
If the deflection is not in compliance with the above standard,
adjust the belt tension (Fig.14). New belt refers to the belt that has
worked in the running engine for less than 5 minutes; Old belt
refers to the belt that has worked in the running engine for no less

Crankshaft

than 5 minutes.
Fig. 14 Tightness of water pump driving belt

4. Replacement of Engine Oil

In normal case replace the engine oil per 5,000km of driving (or 3 months), and replace it per 2,500km of driving in
adverse conditions.

5. Replacement of Oil Filter

Remove the oil filter with the specialized servicing tools, and replace it per 10,000km of driving (or 6 months) in normal
case, and per 5,000km of driving (or 3 months) in adverse condition. Pay attention to the follows during the course of
replacement:
? Check and clean the installation surface of oil filter.
? Check whether the component number of new oil filter is the same as that of the original one.
? Paste the clean engine oil upon the gasket of new oil filter.
? Screw in the oil filter gently, and screw it down when the gasket touches the base.
? Screw 3/4 rounds more with specialized servicing tools.

6. Check and replacement of spark plug

Check it per 10,000km of driving (or 6 months) in normal case, and replace it per 20,000km of driving (or 12 months).
(1) Check visually whether theres electrode ablation or screw damage in the spark plug. Replace the spark plug if its not
in normal condition. The recommended spark plug is: MR479Q/MR479QA DENSO K16R-U, MR481QA/JL481Q K7RF11.
(2) Bend the outer side of electrode gently in order to obtain the necessary electrode clearance(0.8mm in normal case).
(3) Install the spark plug using a spark plug wrench with a torque of 18N.m.

7. Replacement of oil filter

Replace it per 40,000km (or 24 months) in normal case.

8. Check and replacement of compulsory ventilation valve PCV in crankshaft box

The PCV valve is installed to reduce the leakage of HC or other poisonous gases.
How to check the PCV valve:
(1) Blow air into the PCV valve from the cylinder cover side, and check whether its unblocked.
(2) Blow air into the PCV valve from the intake room side, and check whether its blocked.
If the PCV valve fails the above check, it shall be disqualified and replaced.
Note: Dont take in air through the PCV valve because the petroleum substances inside are poisonous.
Check and replace it per 20,000km of driving (or 12 months) in normal case.

9. Check and replacement of all hoses and connections in engine

Check it per 40,000km of driving (or 24 months) in normal case, and replace it per 80,000km of driving (or 48 months).
After replacement, check it per 20,000km of driving (or 12 months).

scraper. Clean completely the cylinder block with soft brush
and solvent (Fig. 42). Check whether therere damages or
cracks on the topside of cylinder block or in the main bearing
seat, screw hole, oil passage and internal cavity.
2. Check the flatness of topside of cylinder block. Measure the
flatness of surface contacting the cylinder head gasket with
the precision ruler and the thickness feeler. The maximal warp
tolerance is 0.05mm. If the warp is bigger than the maximal
value, replace the cylinder block (Fig. 43). There has been no
deformation over-difference in the application of Geely
engines. If over-difference occurs, refine the flatness by grinding the topside of cylinder block. The cylinder compression
ratio may go up if the block top surface is over-ground.
3. Check whether theres vertical scratch upon the cylinder. If

Replace the cylinder block if necessary (Fig. 44).
4. Check the inside diameter of cylinder. Therere 3 dimension groups, named as group 1, 2 and 3 of standard diameter (Fig. 45). Print the group number upon the bottom of cylinder block.
Measure at position of A, B and C the diameters in the thrust direction and in the transverse axis direction with the cylinder
diameter gauge (Fig. 46).

Abrasion characteristics of engine cylinder bore:

The abrasion condition reaches the most rigid point at 10mm away from the TDC, and improves gradually along with the
piston going downward. The maximal abrasion of cylinder wall happens when the 1st piston ring reaches the TDC.
The maximal radial abrasion of cylinder happens in the plain vertical to the crankshaft axis, and at the side near to the
intake valve. The oil film at this side of cylinder wall gets thinner by washing out; and in the meantime the entrance of dust
in air speeds up the abrasion of cylinder wall on the side of intake port. When the temperatures of cylinder walls at front
and rear ends of in-line engine are low, the abrasion is great.

Chapter 3 Cylinder Head Assembly

Section 1 Structural Characteristics of Cylinder Head

When the engine works, cylinder head bears relatively high thermal load and mechanical load. In order to ensure superior combustion and reliable work, cylinder head must optimize combustion chamber, intake duct, exhaust duct and cooling
water chamber should be arranged rationally. It should have relatively high heat transmissibility, sufficient strength and
rigidity, in addition, it should also feature light weight and compact structure.
Structural characteristics of cylinder head:
1. Adopts cast aluminum alloy: 439mm long, 116mm high and 10kg in weight.
2. Combustion chamber is pent-roof shape. Spark plug is in the middle part.
3. The angle between intake valve and exhaust valve is 22, angle of intake duct to horizontal plane is 38-40 and exhaust
duct is arranged horizontally. Intake duct has smooth wall and small resistance. Admission tends to form rotational flow. It
also features good exhaust and purge effect.
4. The structure is relatively complicated; there are four combustion chambers, 16 valves, double camshaft, ten bearing
holes, 16 tappet holes, water chambers with different shapes, jet holes, oil passage, gear chamber, eight intake/exhaust
ducts, many bolt holes, a lot of spacer plates and reinforced ribs. Valve stem guide and valve seat that are made of alloy
cast iron and refractory steel are pressed into cylinder head by means of shrinking (Fig. 71).

Section 2 Detach, Assembly and Repair of Cylinder Head

I. Detach
1. In the process of removing sub-assy. of cylinder head, use special repair tools in the sequence shown in Fig. 33, loosen
and remove cylinder head bolts in several equal operations. Incorrect sequence of bolts removing might cause warping or
breaking of cylinder head. At the same time, prevent distortion and damage of fasteners caused by removal of cylinder

head when engine is warmed up, that is to say, detach it when the
engine is in cold state.
2. Remove valve tappet
When removing valve tappet (Fig. 72), use a marker to write

Chapter 4 Piston & Connecting Rod Mechanism

Section 1 Construction of Piston & Connecting Rod Mechanism

The function of piston & connecting rod mechanism is to convert pressure of working substance in the cylinder into power
by rotation of the crankshaft and flywheel assy. Piston & connecting rod mechanism mainly consists of piston, piston rings,
piston pin, connecting rod body, connecting rod cap, connecting rod bolts, nuts and connecting rod bushing. The disassembled piston & connecting rod mechanism of engine is illustrated in Fig. 173. The consolidation degree and power per
unit piston area of engine are high. The structures of canopy piston top, minus offset and semi-floating piston pin allow less
motor noise and more working flexibility.

1. Structural Characteristics of Piston, Piston Pins and Piston Rings

1. Piston
The main functions of piston are to undergo high temperature and high pressure of working substance in cylinder, keep
airtightness of cylinder together with piston rings, and transfer heat to cylinder walls. The piston used in the engine is made
of cocrystallization aluminum-silicon alloy. Integral and tin-coated, it reduces the possibility of napping. Combustion chamber, formed by piston top and cylinder cap, provides a large room for extruded gas. The projection of combustion chamber
offers a good shape for organizing whirl currents of extruded gas, and advances the features of high thermal efficiency,
small chill area and low knocking. The structure of piston is shown as Fig. 174.

6.Connecting rod 7.Connecting rod bushing 8.Connecting rod cap 9.Connecting rod nut

Because short piston and low compression height helps to lighten piston weight and reduce reciprocating inertial force,
both of the compact engines can run at a higher speed.
Two gas rings and one oil ring is fitted on the piston head. The height of the first gas ring is 3mm and that of the secondary
one is 2.5mm. Eight oil feed-back holes of 2mm in diameter distribute symmetrically at the both sides of the pin hole on the
bottom of oil ring slot, and a piston pin lubricant track is designed on piston pin seat, which permits the continuous suction
of lubricant. To achieve fine thermal conductivity, heating surface on the piston top introduces the structure of smooth
transition, and a big transition circular is adopted to connect top plate and ring belt.

Because of high mechanical and thermal loads and complicated stress distribution on the piston, its hard to control the gap
width between piston and cylinder body. For achieving steady control of the gap, the piston of engine adopts the structure
of drum skirt and elliptic cross section, with long axis vertical to the pin hole and short axis parallel to it.
Piston uses an intact strengthening rib to transfer force. Its pin seat sinks into the rounded outer piston surface by 9mm,
reducing support distance between piston pins and weakening deformation of piston pins and pin seat. Apart from that, an
appropriate lead angle at the internal edge of pin seat lightens edge loads on the pin seat, the unequal thickness of pin seat
and biasing of outer circles center towards piston top by 2cm strengthen the upper half piston which endures larger stress.
To eliminate the destroying stress caused by heat expansion of piston skirts and deformation of pistons pin seat, concavities are drilled under the piston pin holes, with one concavity in each skirt.
Forward marks on piston top and group marks on skirt recesses provide ease of mounting and fitting.

2. Piston pin
Piston pin connects piston and connecting rod, and endures various loads including pull, thrust, wallop caused by alternating movements of connecting rod and pin seat. Periodical changes of loads on connecting rod small end and pin seat, as
well as slight glide of piston pin in pin hole, lead to bad conditions of abrasion and lubricating on all parts of piston pin. The
inner hollowed piston pin of engine is made of low carbon alloy steel. After treatments of outer-surface carburization, precision grinding and polishing, it acquires sufficient rigidity and intensity, fine wear resistance property on surface and excellent impact toughness on central part. In the semi-floating structure, magnitude of interference between connecting rod
small end and pin varies from 0.12mm to 0.003mm, while oil film thickness between pin and pin seat varies from 0.002mm
to 0.013mm. Such structure has the advantages of omitting copper sleeves and piston pin clamp rings, reducing connecting rod small end width and lengthening pin seat. But connecting rod must be mounted at the temperature of about 100oC
or be squeezed by press machine at the temperature of -40oC in cold state, which will cause difficulties in disassembly.

3. Piston ring
Piston rings of engine include two gas rings and one oil ring connected by flat ends.
The main functions of cylinder are to prevent the exchange of burned gas with high temperature and high pressure in
cylinder and waste gas in crankshaft case, and transfer most heat from piston top to cylinder wall in order to minimize heat
in piston head and piston skirt and minimize deformation of piston.
The cross section of the first gas ring is illustrated as Fig. 175. Its a symmetrical barrel-shaped ring with small interface and
good leak tightness. It also possesses fine lubrication property and can provide constant lubricant films both in its upward
movement and downward movement. The rounded outer surface of the first gas ring is nitridation treated and the rest
surfaces of it are bonderite. The first gas ring is 2.70.1 in thickness and 1.2 -0.010
-0.025 in height. Free ends distance is 10mm
and radial elasticity is 18.4-27.6N. Back clearance after mounting is 1.25mm.

The cross section of the secondary gas ring is illustrated as Fig. 176.Its a conic ring with pitch of 1 0
. It can provide
lubricant film in its upward movement while scraping lubricant in its downward movement. The secondary gas ring is made
of nodular graphit castiron or tungsten vanadium titanium alloy,and possesses good wear-in property, fine thermal stability
and excellent wear-resistance. Surfaces of the secondary gas ring are bonderite. This ring is 3.00.1 in thickness and
-0.010
1.5 -0.025 in height. Free ends distance is 13mm and radial elasticity is 18.4-27.6N. Back clearance after mounting is

The main functions of oil ring are to scratch down lubricant splashing on
cylinder walls, return it to oil pan through the upside and downside gaps of oil
ring and the oil feed-back hole on spring gasket drain pan, as well as distribute lubricant on cylinder wall evenly to reduce fiction and strengthen seal
property. The oil ring is a combination steel ring, consisting of two scraper
rings and one backing ring. The combination oil ring is 3 -0.05
-0.13 in height and
2.70.15 in thickness. The barrel-shaped scraper rings, which have chroming
surfaces and small contact surface, are made of tool steel. The tangential
elasticity of scraper rings is 34-51N and the backing ring is made of nickelchrome steel. The cross section of the oil ring is illustrated as Fig. 177.The
structure of piston,piston pin and piston ring about JL481Q/ MR481QA are the
same principle and have a little differences in dimension.

II. Structural Characteristics of the Connecting Rod and its Bearing Shell
1. Connecting rod
The connecting rod connects the piston pin and the crank pin to convert the reciprocating
inertial movement of the piston into rotational movement of the crankshaft. The connecting rod
includes the connecting-rod body, cap, bolts and nut. The connecting-rod body is shown in Fig.
178. The small end and big end of the connecting-rod bear rectilinear load with varying
strength and direction, while on each section of the body there exists adverse loads such as
alternating bending moment, shear, normal force and rectilinear load. The connecting rod of
engine, mould-forged with No. 40 fine steel, has its surface stress peened. The truncated
connecting rod structure, connecting-rod body and connecting-rod cap are fastened through
bolts. The center distance of the MR479Q connecting rod = 1220.031mm, center distance
between the two bolt holes is 540.1mm, diameter of the big end is 43+0.024
The section of
0
the rod body is I-shaped, the big end of the connecting-rod cap has a thickness of 22 -0.15
-0.20 .
The center distance of the JL481Q connecting rod = 132.50.050mm, center distance between
the two bolt holes is 620.1mm, diameter of the big end is51 +0.018
.They will be processed
0
after it is assembled with the connecting-rod body. The connecting-rod body and connectingrod cap have a recess respectively for positioning of the bearing shell of the connecting rod
during installation. In the big end hole of the connecting-rod body, there is an oblique oil hole
of 3mm in diameter, from which the injected lubricant cools and lubricates the piston. In the Fig. 178 Structural diagram of
meanwhile, the outlet of the oil hole is made in the form of a load relieving recess. For the
convenience in assembly, the connecting-rod body and cap carry a front end marking. The
connecting-rod cap is also marked with the grouping. For re-assembly, the parts need to be
assembled according to the numbers. The connection between connecting rod and
connecting-rod cap of JL481Q is different from the MR479Q in that nut tightens to screw hole
directly.

2. Connecting-rod bearing shell

Engine has a double layer bearing shell, using 08F as the steel back and aluminum-based alloy
-0.002
as the anti-friction layer. The total thickness at the middle of the bearing shell is 1.5 -0.014 whereby
the thickness of the steel back layer is 1.22mm and that of the anti-friction layer is 0.28mm. To
avoid retreating or bulging of the bearing shell during assembly, on both sides of it there are
partial thin areas. The internal diameter of the JL481Q bearing shell d=48mm, and its width
0
b=17 -0.2 . The proper width/diameter ratio (b/d=3/8) can prevent lubricant from flowing out from
both ends, and excessive load is avoided on the fringe as well. A positioning tongue and oil
reservoir ditch are punched at the orifice of the bearing shell. The thickness of the connectingrod bearing shell is achieved by assembling in 3 groups in order to have a reasonable clearance
of the oil film.

Section 3 Common Faults of the Piston Connectingrod Mechanism and Troubleshooting

1. Piston damage
Among the common faults of the piston there are wear, galling, ablation and deformation.

The greatest wear of the piston is the wear of the piston ring slot. Due to the pressure of the cylinder, the piston ring applies
a high pressure on the slot. Under the action of a high temperature and pressure, the first ring slot is worn most severely,
and the wear of the following ones decreases gradually. The clearance between the piston ring and the wall of the ring slot
can be measured with a thickness gauge. Ring slot clearance: permissible for the first slot: 0.020-0.055mm, for the second
slot: 0.020-0.055mm. In the case of the clearance being greater than the max., replace the piston. Furthermore, as wear is
likely between the piston pin and the pin hole, causing a loose engagement between the two. In the case of abnormal
noise, if the piston can move back and forth on the piston pin, then, replace the whole set of piston and piston pin
In the case of small metallic chips existing between the piston and the cylinder wall, high temperature caused by friction
makes such chips contact each other, and the relative movement cuts off the thermo-welded locations so that the friction
surface becomes rough and galling scratches appear. Among the causes for the galling are: a. Ineffective sealing of the
piston ring leading to increased leakage, overheated piston and damaged oil film. b. A narrow galling surface in the middle
of the main thrust surface indicates an excessive ellipticity. If there are wide galling surface in the middles of both thrust
planes, that indicates that the cylinder play is too small. c. If the galling takes place at the four 45 diagonal locations of the
center line of the piston pin, that indicates that there is a too tight match between the piston pin and the pin hole.
Serious galling or extremely poor piston lubrication is likely to lead to ablation. In such cases, replace the entire set of piston
assembly.
In the case of piston deformation, just measure the ellipticity of the skirt of the piston 18mm (MR479Q)/16mm
(MR479QA) /20mm (MR481QA,JL481Q) from the piston bottom, in a direction vertical to the pin hole). If the deviationfrom the standard value exceeds 0.04mm, replace the piston.

II. Damage of the Piston Pin

Among common faults with the piston pin are tubercular corrosion, fleck and bending deformation due to wearing as well
as deformation of out-of-round. If the cylindricity of the piston pin is over 0.002mm and roundness is over 0.0015mm, then
replace the piston pin.

III. Broken or Ablated Piston Ring

Common faults with the piston ring are break, wear, ablation and burr. When its end play or side play is too small, or the
frequency of its radial bouncing is not consistent with the natural frequency of the ring, the piston pin is likely to break.
Measure the end play and side play of the piston pin with a thickness gauge. For check of the end play, push the piston ring
into the cylinder at a position 97mm from the top of the cylinder block. Detailed data are given in the table below. In the case
of a too small end play, use a fine file. For check of the side play, install the piston ring to the piston. In the case of a too
small side play, adjust it by fine polishing. If the combustion chamber has an excessive temperature, engine oil glues, or
the cylinder has a poor lubrication, then, the piston ring is prone to ablation. See Table 6 for the maintenance data for the
piston ring.

IV. Damage of the Connecting-rod

Common faults with the connecting-rod are its bending and twist. Check the straightness of the connecting-rod, as shown
in Fig. 184 and 185.

Fig. 184 Check twist of the connecting-rod

Fig. 185 Check bending of the connecting-rod

Max. twist: 0.06mm/100mm

Max. bending: 0.03mm/100mm
In case of the max. twist exceeding 0.06mm, replace the connecting-rod assy.;
In case of the max. bending exceeding 0.03mm, make correction by using the connecting-rod correcting instrument;
Check the connecting-rod bolt: Install the lock nut for the connecting-rod bolt. Check the lock nut by turning it to the end
position with hand. If the lock nut can not rotate flexibly, measure the external diameter of the bolt with a vernier calipers.
Standard outer diameter is 8.860-9.00mm and min. outer diameter is 8.6mm. If the outer diameter is smaller than the min.,
then replace the entire set of connecting-rod bolt and nut.

Chapter 5 Crank Mechanism

Section 1 Structural Characteristics of

Crank Mechanism

The role of crank mechanism is to create torque by turning the reciprocate inertial movement of piston connecting-rod
into the rotary movement on its own so as to drive all the accessory
systems and mechanism of engines in proper running while the flywheel exports the net power. Engine drives the valve
train through toothed belt, drives water pump, generator through V belt. Crankshaft is also used to directly drive the oil
pump. The crank flywheel assy. of engine is shown as Fig. 186.

1. Crankshaft
The function of crankshaft is to receive the force from a connecting-rod, thus creating the torque rotating around its own
axes. Engine crankshaft is made of nodular cast iron, installed entirely with support, which has enhanced the rigidity and
bending strength of crankshaft.

Fig. 187 Balance weight of crankshaft

JL481Q connecting-rod journal is 48mm. All the cranks circle around the central main bearing journal to form mirror
symmetry. One-reciprocating inertia is mutually balanced with one-inertia torque. And two-reciprocating inertia and torque
are very small, which are generally omitted. Because all the cranks are symmetrically arranged with 180, rotary inertia and
rotary inertia torque are balanced as a whole. But the bending torque inside the crankshaft is so large that all the cranks
are locally affected by bending. In order to relieve the bending torque between the crankshaft and the cylinder block, a
group ignition sequence of 1.4-2.3 is adopted, and meanwhile, there are 8 counterweights made at the opposite directions
of 8 cranks (Fig. 187). The centrifugal forces F1 and F4 at the two connecting-rod journals of No. 1 and No. 4 are equivalent to the centrifugal forces F2 and F3 at the two connecting-rod journals, in opposite directions. F1 and F2 form moment
of couple M1-2 and F3. F4 forms moment of couple M3, also mutually balanced. But the two moments of couple have
provided bending load to the crankshaft while load on the main bearing shell is also increased so that main bearing journal
and main bearing shell are abraded slantingly. After counterweights are added, the load on main bearing shell is reduced
while the running stability of engine is improved.
In order to lubricate the connecting-rod journal, there is an oil hole with diameter of 5mm drilled from main bearing journal
to connecting-rod journal. The first main bearing journal oil hole is drilled through the first connecting-rod journal, the
second journal oil hole through the second connecting-rod journal; the fourth main bearing journal through the third
connecting-rod journal. The fifth journal oil hole is drilled through the fourth connecting-rod journal; the third main bearing
journal is without oil hole. The oil hole on the crank pin is provided at the area 220 in front of rotating crank plane, and at
the hole opening area is the low load area as far as the transition round angle of two journals. The oil hole of main bearing
journal is arrayed at the low load area. All the hole openings are polished and chamfered.
MR479Q Crankshaft stack-up degree = 9.5mm. Thickness of crank arm = 16.75mm. Width of crank arm =70mm.
MR479QA/MR481QA Crankshaft stack-up degree = 5.5mm. Thickness of crank arm = 16.75mm. Width of crank arm
=76mm. JL481Q Crankshaft stack-up degree = 5.25mm. Thickness of crank arm = 16.75mm. Width of crank arm
=76.5mm. Crank is good in rigidity and strength. The crank arm takes the shape of ellipse so that the stress is evenly
distributed, resulting in a good bending strength and torsion rigidity. Meanwhile, thickness of crank arm is transited through
the shoulder. In order to relieve the crankshafts weight and reduce the unbalanced properties of crankshaft rotating, the
shoulder of crankshaft adopts a big angle. In order to reduce the stress centralization between cranks and main bearing
journal and between crank and connecting-rod journal, R2 bevel is used for transition at the connecting area and roll-press
polishing treatment is provided. Crankshaft is nitridation treated in order to increase its abrasive resistance. In order to
avoid axial crankshaft displacement, two crankshaft thrust washers are placed on either side of the central main bearing.
Engine has a key slot in the front of crankshaft, through which peripheral locating and transmitting of the torque can be
carried out for crankshaft timing gear and crankshaft belt. In the forefront of crankshaft there is a hole of M12x1.25-6H and
32 in depth. Using the bolt, it can tighten the crankshaft pulley. The bearing shoulder on the side and in front of the first
main bearing journal is milled with 4 planes. The ridge among the planes can directly drive the oil pump. On the back end
of crankshaft there is a flange with diameter of 70. The end face is provided with 6 drilling holes of M10x1.25-6H, in which
the locating hole with diameter of 13 is used as a mounting mark for alignment with the locating hole on the flywheel.
For easier selection of bearing shell for assy., there are three groups separately arranged in terms of diameters of main
bearing journal and connecting-rod journal. Each group is separately marked with red, yellow and green. The mark of
crank pin is at the big chamfer of cranks, and the diameter mark for main bearing journal is at the w-type counterweight.

II. Main Bearing

Main bearing of engine includes upper bearing harf and lower bearing harf. In order to achieve a reasonable oil clearance,
there are 5 groups in terms of the total thickness of bearing center.
Upper bearing half and lower bearing half are of the steel-backedwear-reducing layer structure. The steel-backed material is 08F, wear-reducing layer is aluminum base alloy. The total central The steel-backed material is 08F, wear-reducing
layer is aluminum base alloy. The total central thickness is 2 +0.017
+0.002 ,in which aluminum base alloy is 0.30.1 in thickness
and bearing 20mm in width. Upper bearing has a filler hole of 6mm in diameter, and an oil reservoir of 4mm in width and
1mm in depth in the middle so that it is easy for the lubricant to enter the oil hole of main bearing journal. On the back of
upper bearing and lower bearing there is a locating recess punched. To avoid bearing bulging due to inner shrinkage during
assembly, there is a thinning area prepared on the inner sides of two ends of bearing.

III. Crankshaft Thrust Washer

The crankshaft axial positioning of MR479Q engine adopts the structural form of two-half-circle thrust washer. Crankshaft
thrust washer is also of a steel-backed-wear-reducing-layer structure. Steel-backed material is 08F, wear-reducing layer
material is of high-tin aluminum alloy. The crankshaft thrust washer is 2.5 -0.03 thick. On the working faces of two thrust
-0.06

washers, oil holes are milled respectively. Crankshaft thrust washer is positioned by way of locating tongue.

IV. Flywheel
The role of flywheel is to restrict the revolving unevenness with the flywheel, storing part of the energy done by the engine
so as to ensure that incoming air compression and exhaust stroke run smoothly and overcome the short time overload. The
start of the end face of engine can serve as an active friction face to export the power.
Engine flywheel is made from gray cast iron with 254mm in diameter. The flywheel is thick outside and thin inside to reduce
its weight. The outmost of the flywheel end face has 6 mounting holes for M8-6H clutch and 3 holes (8 +0.015
) for dowel
0
pin holes. There are 5 mounting holes for flywheel and 1 hole for positioning the flywheel. Revolving-speed toothed disc
installed on the outer peripheral of flywheel is interference fit with the flywheel. The peripheral is positioned by dowel pin.
There are totally (60-2) teeth on revolving-speed toothed disc, and there is a T mark on the disc end face. The T mark
corresponds to the locating hole and crankshaft 1.4 crank plane. Counterclockwise, there is an absence of 2 teeth in the
part of 1320 in front of T. Because of the speed sensor installed in the centerline of cylinder block, when speed sensor
corresponds to the missing teeth, it has created a pulse signal of speed sensor to ECU . In the part of 1140 in front of T,
the falling edge of the teeth starts to trigger the controller to make the timer work.

Section 2 Disassembly & Maintenance of

Crank Mechanism
1. Disassembly for Inspection
1. Detaching of flywheel
Before disassembly, use a dial gauge to check the slanting degree (as shown in Fig. 188). Disassemble the rotation speed
sensor and its support. Detach 6 bolts and the flywheel.
2. Disassembly of crankshaft

standard clearance of bearing shell should be 0.0150.045mm.
If standard bearing shell is used, it is necessary to use those
with the same number. If the number of bearing shell cannot
be determined, it is possible to sum up the size numbers on
cylinder block and crankshaft and then choose the number of
bearing shell equivalent to the above sum, so as to ensure
accuracy of selection. Totally, there are 5 standard bearing
shell sizes, marked with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively
(Fig. 197, Table 7).

Section 3 Disassembly & Maintenance of

Crank Mechanism
1. Cracking & Fracture of Crankshaft
To check the cracking of crankshaft: by oil-soaked knocking, that is to immerse the crankshaft in the kerosene for a while
and then take out and wipe it dry. Spread some white powder onto the crankshaft and hammer its non-working face. After
vibrating, if oil stain appears, it proves the existence of cracking. Magnetic inspection: magnetize the parts through
magnetic inspector. If the parts are cracked, the magnetic pole will appear in cracked area. If you spray some pulverized
irons on the parts, the iron powder would be absorbed on the cracked area. So that the crack becomes easily visible. But
after the magnetic inspection, it is necessary to demagnetize it.
Once the crankshaft is cracked, have it replaced. If bending deformation appears in the crankshaft, apply a cold press
rectification or cylinder block rectification to repair it.

II. Wear of Flywheel Working Face and Damages to Gear Ring

1. Normally, when starting the engine, the flywheel gear ring and starter pinion easily collide with each other or have poor
engagement between the two teeth, thus easily leading to wear and damages to the teeth.
a. When the teeth of gear ring are worn on one side, turn it over for further use. The gear ring detaching or assemble needs
heating. After it is repaired and assembled, it is necessary to provide interference for the flywheel gear ring.
b. If any single tooth is damaged, use oil stone to repair and grind it. If serious wear or teeth damages take place on both
sides of gearing ring, it is possible to repaire by stack welding.
2. If the working face of flywheel wears or is grooved with depth over 0.5mm, it is proper to apply polishing or polishing after
finish-machining. If the wave depth is not over 0.5mm, it is allowed to have two ring grooves. After machining, the thickness
of gear should not be less than new flywheel teeth for over 2mm.

Chapter 6 Valve Train

Section 1 Make-up of Valve Train & its

Design Features
I. Make-up of Valve Train

Engine valve train is made up of camshaft timing drive and valve mechanism. The camshaft timing drive mainly includes
crankshaft timing pulley, guide wheel, crankshaft timing belt, camshaft timing belt, driving gear, sub gear, gear spring, drive
gear, intake and exhaust camshaft, and valve tappet, etc. The valve mechanism mainly includes valve seat insert, valve,
valve guide, spring retainer, and keeper, etc. Make-up of valve train is shown in Fig. 198

II. Characteristics of Valve Train

Each cylinder has 4 valves, laid in two columns. The intake path takes up a relatively large area and as a result, this
increases the rotation speed at maximum power, rotation speed atmaximum torque and its litre power, and decreases the
thermal load of the exhaust gas.
The DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft Valve train) construction reduces the height of the cylinder head, and facilitates
the installation of the intake pipes. It also features low motion mass, high rigidity, high natural frequency and good highspeed property.
The transmit mechanism adopts serrated belt transmit and helical gear with the auxiliary gears, featuring longer transmission distance, smooth movement, low noise level and cost.
Its excellent cam shape and motion pattern elevate inflation efficiency, and assures a reliable and low-noise level operation at high speed.

Section 2 Valve Timing

1. General
Valve timing refers to the rotated angle of crankshaft corresponding to the top and bottom dead centers at the moment of
opening and closing the valves of intake and exhaust in each engine cylinder. Generally, it is illustrated with a loop
diagram.
In theory, the intake valve should be opened at the moment that the piston reaches the top dead center and closed at the
moment that the crank reaches the bottom dead center, and the exhaust valve follows a reverse pattern. However, due to
the high rotation speed of engine, each stroke of piston is completed in such a short time that makes it impossible to get
adequate air intake, clean exhaust, and hence leads to lower power. Therefore, the actual moments of opening and closing
of valves do not correspond to the top and bottom dead centers, but in an earlier time for opening and a later time for
closing.
In general, different engines have different timing. The best one is chosen according to the experiment results. Once the
timing is chosen, the angle between the intake cam and the exhaust cam of the same cylinder and the marks of meshing
engagement for each timing gear can be determined. Then, assemble the timing gears according to the marks to achieve
the selected timing.
For the transmit gear and the sub gear of the engine, there are two marks respectively on their front sides. One is the timing
mark. When two timing marks overlap, it indicates that the piston is in the top dead center of its compression stroke.
Another is installation mark, vertical to the timing mark. For the transmit gear, the installation mark comes first clockwise
and is nearly right above the camshaft fixing pin. For the sub gear, the installation mark comes first counterclockwise.

II.Valve Timing Diagram

The valve timing diagram for engine is shown as Fig. 199. The intake valve is opened before reaching top dead center to
assure that the intake valve has been opened fully in the beginning of the intake stroke, thus the combustible gas mixture
can enter into cylinder smoothly. The intake valve is closed sometime after reaching BDC so that the combustible gas
mixture may continue to enter into the cylinder in the early compression stroke by making use of inertia and pressure difference. The exhaust valve is opened before reaching the BDC (late power stroke). High pressure in the cylinder forces out
the exhaust gas and thus prevents engine from overheating. After reaching TDC, the exhaust gas can still be drained by
making use of inertia of exhaust gas.

Section 3 Make-up of Valve train

Assembly and its Features
1. Make-up of Valve Train Assy. and its Features
The assembly is designed to open and close the intake and exhaust valve according to the planned time and ensure that
they have enough lift stroke and follow the stipulated rules.

1. Crankshaft timing pulley

Crankshaft timing pulley is made from die-casting of powder metallurgy: tooth form, hole and keyway are made at the same
time without the requirement of machining. On the parts there is V type timing mark. When assembling and calibrating
valve-timing diagram, it is necessary to align it with the timing mark on the housing of oil pump. There are a total of 24 teeth
on crankshaft timing pulley.

2. Camshaft timing pulley

Camshaft timing pulley is also made from die-casting of powder metallurgy with 48 teeth in total. Two dowel pin slots.
During assembly, it is proper to encase the dowel pin slot on the side with K mark into the camshaft dowel pin. The
round-hole made in the center of lateral rib with K mark should be aligned with the U marking on the camshaft bearing
cap when calibrating valve-timing with the camshaft timing belt pulley axially fastened by bolts.

3. Timing belt
With 3-layer structure and 117 teeth in total, the belt is made of butadiene styrene rubber, the mid-layer being polyester
thread with low-expansion and low amount of distortion, and the canvas layer being the synthesis of cotton and synthetic
fiber. It has good heat resistance and abrasive resistance. With low transmit torque, the timing belt has a long life.Normally,
the timing belt shall be replaced after 120, 000 km of use. Meanwhile, in order to avoid teeth run-out in driving, there is a
tensioner on the back of the loosened part of the belt, which can provide a certain pre-tension to the belt. When adjusting
the deflection of toothed belt, it is possible to alter the pre-tension of tension spring by changing the position of tensioner
relative to tightening bolt. After adjustment, fasten the bolts.

4. Camshaft
Engine camshaft is made of the chilling alloy cast iron with an nitrogenized surface. It has high strength and good abrasion
resistance. The split bearing seat without lining is of full supporting structure, featuring good rigidity. On the intake and
exhaust camshaft there are 8 cams and 5 journals. The center to center spacing of intake and exhaust camshaft for each
cylinder is respectively 34mm and 36mm. Axially, It is positioned through single directional shoulder. As driven by bevel
gear, the exhaust camshaft is forced back and the intake camshaft is forced forward. The two forces are equal. The curve
in the section of cam lift consists of buffer and working section, in which wrap angle of exhaust cam buffer section is a little
larger than wrap angle of intake cam buffer, and the wrap angle of exhaust cam working section a little bigger than wrap
angle of intake cam working section. The MR479Q/MR479QA cam base circle is 34mm in diameter, intake cam lift is
7.81mm and exhaust cam lift 8.06mm. The center of camshaft is a main oil passage. Each journal has small holes leading
to the main oil passage so as to lubricate each camshaft journal and bearing seat. There is a groove on the back end of
exhaust camshaft, into which driveshaft of valve timing sensor can be inserted. It thus produces the signal for judgment of
cylinders and sends to ECU so as to carry out identification and control of two different TDC . The structure is simple and
reliable,.

II. Make-up of Valve Train Assembly and its Features

Valve train assy. is used to ensure the cylinder be well sealed.

1. Valve
Valve is one of the important elements to ensure the power, economy, reliability and durability of the engine. Intake valve
is of martensitic steel 4Cr9Si2, with good techniques, abrasion proof, anticorrosion and small expansion coefficient.
Exhaust valve is of austenite steel 5Cr21Mn98Ni4N, with good heat resistance. Its intake and exhaust valves are all
azotized. The intake and exhaust valve are shown as Fig. 200. The big end of intake valve head is 31mm in diameter and
the small end 27.372mm in diameter. The big end of exhaust valve head is 24.5mm in diameter and the small end
21.372mm in diameter. The ntake and exhaust valve employs a bigger Valve cone(45) to provide a good airtightness. The
intake, valve neck bevel is 10, with an arc of R6.5 for a transition. It has low intake resistance. Exhaust valve neck bevel
is 25, and there is a big arc at the valve head and stem tip for a transition. It has a high rigidity.
The intake valve lift/diameter ratio is 0.252, the exhaust valve lift/diameter ratio is 0.329. The bottom of valve is flat and
valve stem is 6mm in diameter. The lateral force is large. The intake valve has a full length of 87.50.1mm and exhaust
valve has a full length of 87.50.15mm. Lock groove sinks in the form of arc. During assembly, keeper is embedded in form
of being raised on the stem lock groove. It can reliably lock the valve spring.

Fig. 200 Intake and Exhaust Valve

2. Valve seat insert

As shown in fig. 201, valve seat insert is used to
seal the cylinder by the close contact of its
internal conic surface with the valve conic
surface. Valve seat insert applies the powder
metallurgy steel, which has good cutting performance and small thermal deformation. Valve seat
face is pressed into the cylinder head seat
through contraction. Its seal cone is processed
together with valve guide hole.

Fig. 201Seat Insert of Intake and Exhaust Valve

3. Valve tappet
Engine valve tappet adopts a short-cup form. It features good rigidity, light weight, large cam contact area, good lubrication
and reliability. Meanwhile, it facilitates the adjustment of the valve clearance. The material used for tappet is low-carbon
alloy steel.

4. Valve spring
Engine uses a single spring, cylindrical helical spring. The spring is 3.2mm in diameter with a central diameter of
210.1mm, and coiling wraparound ratio C = 6.56. The precompression quantity of intake valve spring is 7.8mm and that
of exhaust valve spring 7.5mm. To keep the spring in straight position under pressure, the two ends of the spring are
leveled in a range of 288 . It has 4.8 effective circles. The spring steel wire is made of 60SiCrVA, with good temperature
flexibility. The spring is processed with shot blast. In a free state, the total height of the spring is 390.3mm.

Section 4 Service of Valve Train

1. Valve tappet (see Section 2 of Chapter 3 for reference)
Measure the tappet bore of cylinder head with a caliper and its diameter with a micrometer caliper. The actual oil film clearance is deduced by subtracting the tappet diameter from the tappet bore. If the oil film clearance is bigger than the
maximum value, the tappet shall be replaced. When necessary, replace the cylinder head.

II. Camshaft and bearing seat

1. Check the run-out of camshaft. If the radial run-out is larger than the maximum, replace the camshaft.
2. Check the peach tip height of cam, and if not up to the standard, replace the camshaft.
3. Check the camshaft journal. If the diameter is not up to the standard, check the oil film clearance.
4. Check the cam bearing for peeling-off or scorching. If damaged, it is necessary to replace the complete set of bearing
and cylinder head.
5. Check camshaft gear spring. If the free length is not up to the standard, have the gear spring replaced.
6. Check the oil film clearance of camshaft journal, and if it is larger than the maximum value, replace camshaft. If necessary, replace the complete set of bearing and cylinder head.
7. Check the axial clearance of camshaft. If it is larger than the maximum, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the
cylinder head.
8. Check the camshaft gear clearance. If it is larger than the maximum, replace the camshaft.

2. Check and grind the valve
3. Check and clean the valve seat
4. Check the valve spring

IV. Service of Timing Gear, Belt and Tensioner

1. Timing belt
While servicing the timing belt, be sure not to bend, twist
or upturn it. Keep the belt away from engine oil, water or
steam. Do not make use of the belt tension when
detaching the bolts of timing pulley of camshaft.
Pay attention to direction and position when reinstalling a
timing belt undertaking detaching.Therefore, you need to
make a mark during detaching . See Fig. 202.

Fig. 202 Alignment of compression TDC mark

Common Troubles:
If the timing belt breaks away too early, you should check whether it is properly installed and whether the deflection of belt
is proper. If the belt tooth is fractured or damaged, you need to check whether the camshaft or water pump is blocked. If
the belt is worn or damaged only on one side, you need to check the belt guide wheel and the positioning of all belt pulleys.
If the surface of the belt is apparently and abnormally worn or cracked, you should check whether the pin on tension pulley
is cracked on one side.

2. Tensioner
To check whether the belt tension pulley runs smoothly and flexibly. When necessary, replace it. Measure the free length
of tension spring. Free length: 36.9mm. Measure the tension of the spring with the specified length. The installing tension
(Length: 43.6mm): 34-38N. If the tension is not up to the standard, you need to replace the tension spring.

3. Timing gear
Check the tooth clearance. Check whether the tooth surface has point-corrosion and hard spots, etc.

V. Positioning and Installation of Valve Train

1. The installation of intake camshaft relative to the exhaust camshaft (shown as Fig. Assembly of cylinder head, Section
2, Chapter 3).
2. Installing belt tensioner tension spring
Install belt tensioner by bolts without tightening the bolts. After the tension spring is installed, push the pulley towards the
left as much as possible and then tighten the bolts (Fig. 203).
3. Installation of the exhaust camshaft relative to the crankshaft
Finding the position of TDC: to install crankshaft timing pulley, align the V mark on the pulley with the mark

on the oil

pump body (Fig. 204)

Fig. 203 Installing belt tensioner

Fig. 204 Alignment of TDC mark

Finding compression TDC position: align the dowel pin of camshaft with the dowel pin groove near the K mark of the
pulley before pushing in the timing pulley (Fig. 141). Use a spanner to fasten the hexagon head of camshaft and fasten the
retaining bolt with the torque of: 59N.m. Rotate the hexagon head of camshaft, so that the small hole near the K mark on
camshaft timing belt is aligned with the U mark on the No.1 bearing cap. (Fig. 205)
4. Installing timing belt

Check whether the mark on the timing belt placed during detaching is
properly aligned with the matching mark on the crankshaft pulley. If not,
you need to move the mesh portion on the timing pulley until it is
precisely aligned. Align the timing belt with the matching mark of crankshaft timing pulley. For details, see Fig. 143.
5. Check Valve Timing
Loosen the bolts of belt tensioner (see Fig. 144) and rotate crankshaft
clockwise. Check whether each pulley is aligned with the timing mark
(Fig. 206). Otherwise, you need to reinstall it. Adjust the deflection of
timing belt (fig. 148), and tighten the bolts of belt tensioner with the
torque of 37N.m (Fig. 207).

Section 5 Common Troubleshooting of Valve train

I. Valve leakage
It is possibly caused by:
(1) Wearing, scorching or leakage caused by rough surface (due to corrosion) at the interface between valve and valve
seat. If the working face seal belt of valve seat is worn to be wider than 1.4mm and has spots and pits, it is necessary to
ream and smoothly grind it. If the working face of valve is worn or scotched, you need to grind the working face. If the edge
thickness is less than 0.5mm, you need to replace valve. Whether valve is sealed tight or not can be examined by ways of
light or gas leakage, etc
(2) The valve clearance is too small and disappears after heating. Adjustment of clearance is required.
(3) Carbon deposits too much at the valve seat so that the valve seat is not tightly closed. Cleaning of the valve seat is
required.
(4) In case of bending and deformed valve stem or warped valve head, replace the valve. If the bending of valve stem is
within its allowance, correct it with a manual presser.
(5) If the valve becomes stagnant when moving up and down in the guide or sways inside the valve guide, replace with a
new valve guide. During the replacement, heat the cylinder head uniformly to 80C to 100C. Apply engine oil on the external wall of the new guide before pressing it into the cylinder head. Meanwhile, it is required to check whether the inner
diameter of valve guide is proper or not. If not, ream it.
(6) If the valve cant be closed tight due to deformation, replace valve seat ring.
(7) If valve spring breaks or losses elasticity, it shall be replaced.

II. Valve Sticking or Scorching

It is mainly caused by extended overload operation of the engine, and insufficient cooling, which wears the valve and
deforms the cylinder head, valve seat and valve guide, thus hampering heat dissipation. Moreover, the high temperature
of the engine leads to the oxidation polymerization and decomposition of lubricant and fuel, which forms gelatinous precipitate at the valve head and valve stem, thus eroding the sealing face of valve. Therefore, leakage and scorching occurs. In
order to avoid this, it is necessary to prevent the engine from extended overload operation. It is also required to clean the
carbon deposit on the valve in the course of servicing.

III. Valve Seat Damage

Common troubles of valve seat are scorching, wearing and deformation. Once any scorching, spots, pits or obvious wearing signs are found in the valve seat, it is necessary to ream or grind it. if it cant be repaired, replace the cylinder head.

IV. Invalid Valve Spring

A shortened or inelastic valve spring may harm tightness. If the valve spring is not much shortened, it is possible to add
washers on the spring to recover its original length. If it is shortened excessively, replace it. If the spring nearly losses its
elasticity or deviates from upright position for over 1.2, replace it.

Chapter 7 Fuel Supply System

Section 1 Makeup and Features of Fuel Supply

System for Electronic Fuel Injection Engine
I. Excellent Features of Fuel Supply System
for Electronic Fuel Injection Engine

As a control mode, fuel supply system for electronic fuel injection engine is used to electronically control gasoline engine.
It has a lot of excellent features compare with carburetor engine lacks.

1. Mixture quality not to be influenced by air density

This system atomizes gasoline by using an injector based on pressure atomization, which atomizes fuel mainly by means
of the pressure difference between its interior and exterior.When injection happens at fuel inlet bypath, the high temperature here can be helpful to atomize fuel. So, mixture quality will not be influenced by air density

2. The influence of air density on air-fuel ratio

Because the injector has no venturi, its injection rate is not determined by vacuum degree within venturi. So it is unlike this
system that the air-fuel ratio of the mixture is inversely proportional to the square root of air density, which exists in carburetor. This feature enables it to provide more accurate correction to the influence of air density on air-fuel ratio than carburetor.

3. Mixture well distributed into multiple cylinders when multiport injection applied
For multiport injection, fuel either enters into cylinders or arrives at inlets. So airflows through intake manifolds contain no
fuel and no fuel film adheres to intake manifold wall. This eliminates the problem of bad mixture distribution into multiple
cylinders when carburetor applied.

4. No additional fuel consumption or deteriorated emission caused by load variation when

multiport injection applied
When multiport injection applied, it is pure air that flows through intake manifold. Therefore there will not be additional fuel
entering from fuel film on cylinder wall into the airflow when the pressure therein drops because the throttle is adjusted to
decrease its flow rate.

5. Improved performance under transition working conditions when multiport injection

applied
Multiport injection eliminates the interference from fuel films on intake manifold walls with control of air-fuel ratio, so the
performance under transition working conditions will be improved.

6. Increased volume efficiency

Firstly, gasoline injection eliminates carburetor and venturi, therefore removing the bottleneck of the inlet passage.
Secondly, the absence of fuel film on intake manifolds eliminates the need to heat the intake pipe with exhausted gas, and
therefore intake and exhaust manifolds can be placed respectively on both sides of the engine to form the so-called "Transverse flow scavenging", improving the charge exchange. As a result, the two points leads to increased volume efficiency
and decreased tendency toward knocking.

7. No risk of mixture generation system freezing up

With a high temperature, the injector for multiport injection system cannot freeze up.

8. Operation of gasoline injection system not to be influenced by the engine placement

For gasoline injection system, its operation will not be influenced by the engine placement because the former has nothing
to do with its gravity.

9. Convenient to cut off fuel supply

Measurement of fuel quantity does not depend on vacuum degree within venturi, so it is still possible to cut off fuel supply
even if the engine is running during intake stroke. This provides convenience for cutting off fuel supply in the event of
overspeed and employing the engine to brake down a long slope.

10. Reduced temperature inside cylinder

Because fuel enters directly into cylinder or arrives at inlet (in this case injection time will overlap the inlet open time), some
fuel will absorb heat and be vaporized, resulting in reduced temperature within cylinder. This can not only increase volume
efficiency thereby enhancing torque and power, but also decrease tendency toward knocking. The latter enables it feasible
to increase ignition advance angle or raise compression ratio by from 0.5 to 1.5 when keeping fuel octane number constant,
thus lowering fuel consumption, or lower requirment for octane number and boiling range for the used fuel when keeping
compression ratio unchanged.

11. Accurate measurement of fuel rate

Carburetor shall carry out quantitative control of fuel rate in addition to various processing functions including atomization,
vaporization, diffusion, and mixing. Its control accuracy is difficult to guarantee. In gasoline injection system, fuel pump and
injector carry out fuel delivery while ECU dynamically controls fuel rate quantity, thus enabling higher control accuracy. For
example, determination of fuel rate quantity in gasoline injection system can take into consideration instant coolant
temperature, inlet temperature and pressure, etc., which cannot be realized by carburetor.

12. Reduced fuel consumption and extended work life

Multiport injection system can realize instant control of mixture according to particular driving conditions and circumstances.
At the same power level, reduced fuel consumption means lighter heat load, which is helpful for extending work life of such
parts as valve, valve seat ring , cylinder head, and piston.

13. Large speed range for stable running

Gasoline injection engine can work stably within the entire speed range with full load imposed on it, where the ratio of the
highest speed to the lowest speed can reach 10:1 to 12:1. This is because gasoline injection system can accurately control
the air-fuel ratio at any speed, while carburetor is incapable of doing so.

14. Shortened engine height

Elimination of carburetor enables lowered air filter, which will shorten the total engine height so as to make it more convenient to arrange the engine in car.
Compared to carburetor, gasoline injection system has the following defects: complicated, costly, difficult to service, and
demanding higher fuel cleanliness and control of gel content in fuel. No or bad control of gel content in fuel will easily lead
to clog of the injector, causing carbon deposit to occur on the back of intake valve. Especially for domestic gasoline based
on the catalyzed cracking process where there is always more than 3% alkene content, some cleanser shall be used.
However, excessive cleanser may lead to deposits occurring within the combustion chamber.

II. Structural Characteristics of Piston, Piston Pins and Piston Rings

In engine fuel system, the core of electronic control lies in the electronic control of fuel rate quantity, that is in fact,
electronic control of the excessive air coefficient.Because intake air amount of gasoline engine is determined through
throttle control by the driver, the fuel rate quantity can be determined through determination of.
Fuel supply system is composed of the following parts: fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, pressure regulator, fuel injector,
gasoline vapor absorption device etc.
ECU controls fuel feed according to actual engine working condition. Fuel goes through filter to pressure regulator, which
will then keep the fuel pressure within injector constant. Electronic fuel pump immersed in fuel tank continuously supplies
fuel into fuel pipe, and redundant fuel flows through fuel return pipe back into fuel tank.
Engines based on closed-loop control shall use unleaded gasoline.

Electronic fuel pump, immersed in fuel tank levelly, is fed electricity to through fuel pump relay by battery. This relays
switch-on/off is controlled by ECU. When the key in ignition switch is turned to the "Ignition" position, the electronic fuel
pump may not be always powered on. When the key is turned to the "Start" position, ECU will switch on the fuel pump relay,
and the electronic fuel pump will immediately start to continuously supply fuel. When the key is turned from the "Start"
position to the "Ignition" position, it will continue its running. At the moment, it is not the same as the previous case that the
key is placed to the "Ignition" position before its start. This is because ECU can make the fuel pump relay switch on only if
the engine is running. Once the engine stops, the fuel pump will immediately stop its fuel supply.
Electronic fuel pump is made up of pump, electric motor and pump cover (See Fig. 209).
Electric motor consists of a permanent magnet and an armature. On pump cover there are electric contact, connector for
outlet pipe and check valve. Check valve is used to keep some residual pressure within the fuel system after the electric
fuel pump stops running so that it restarts. Without check valve, the positive-pressure fuel will flow back into the fuel pump
and fuel tank resulting in system decompression, so the fuel within the fuel system will be easily vaporized due to high
temperature to produce vapor bubbles and then cause vapor lock. This is a structural fault that is necessarily avoided within
fuel system.
In the fuel pump case, both pump and electric motor are always surrounded by fuel therein. This can satisfy lubrication
requirements of parts and heat emission requirements of electric motor, along with improvement of electric motor efficiency.
In addition, no complex sealing device is required between pump and electric motor.

Fig. 209Electronic fuel pump

3. Fuel filter
As a sophisticated device, injector allows of no impurity in fuel. Solid
particles in fuel will make it worn while moisture content in fuel will cause
its corrosion and bulging. So, a special filter shall be used to remove
them.
Fuel filter (See Fig. 210) takes a series of actions to remove solid
particles, such as filtration, diffusing action, knockout and interception.
When contaminated fuel flows through filter, foreign particles are deposited on filter elements, forming a layer of very fine "filter mud" by accumulation, which becomes thicker over time. The layer of filter mud serves as
an interceptor just as an actual filter material. So, maximum filter
efficiency can be achieved only after the layer of filter mud forms.

4. Fuel-pressure regulator
Fuel-pressure regulator for multiport injection is mounted to the end of
fuel distributor. Its function is to keep invariable the pressure difference
between within the fuel distributor and within the space fuel enters into
(i.e. intake manifolds), i.e. fuel supply pressure intake pressure = fuel
Injection pressure (pressure difference between interior and exterior of
the injector nozzle). Pressure regulation is based on a diaphragm whose
displacement pushes the valve ball on it and makes the relief valve open

thereby allowing fuel to spill over (See Fig.211). Excess fuel flows

5. Fuel Injector
Each cylinder has an injector. ECU controls the time its needle valve keeps
open by controlling the power-on time of the electromagnetic coil, thereby
controlling its fuel supply (See Fig. 212).
Electromagnetic injector opens its nozzle by the power-on solenoid coil
drawing the needle valve, and then the fuel therein is injected out under the
fuel pressure. Either seated or unseated, its needle valve has no variable
lift. ECU controls the fuel amount injected by adjusting the band of electromagnetic pulse to the solenoid coil, i.e. the time the injector keeps open.
This injection mode is called intermittent injection.

6. Gasoline vapor recovery installation

Contaminations from cars include the exhaust along with gasoline vapors entering into crankcases and coming from fuel
tanks. Due to external heat radiation in addition to a large amount of heat brought by returned fuel, the temperature of fuel
tank will increase, allowing some fuel to be emitted outwards in the form of fuel vapor. In order to minimize environmental
pollution of evaporative emission, each Geely series car must be equipped with an evaporative emission control system
for fuel tank (See Fig. 213).
After the engine stops running, the air inside fuel tank will be discharged through the carbon canister into the atmosphere,
while fuel vapor therein will be adsorbed by active carbon granules in the carbon canister and then be preserved into the
engine.
When the engine is running, due to the vacuum in inlet manifold, fresh air passes through the carbon canister, and enters
into the intake manifold with fuel previously adsorbed carried with it.
(1) Carbon canister, an unit containing carbon granules and used to adsorb gasoline vapors.
(2) Control valve for carbon canister, a valve that is often closed. ECU controls its switch-on/off according to the signal from
the throttle position sensor.
Its work condition: When the ignition is switched off, the solenoid valve closes and the carbon canister begins to adsorb
fuel vapors from the fuel tank; when the ignition is switched on and the engine water temperature exceeds 60C, ECU
begins to control the solenoid valve; when the engine is running with middle-to-large load, ECU begins to control the
electromagnetic valve accurately: open it and allow fuel vapors to be taken into the intake manifold, and at the same time
control the amount taken in by using an instruction corresponding to the engines particular working condition.

Section 2 Matters Needing Attention in Use and Maintenance of Electronic Fuel Injection System
I. Matters Needing Attention in Use of EFI System
1. EFI system in use shall be adjusted and maintained according to maintenance methods and instructions described in
its operation manual.
2. In order to enhance the catalytic converters purification effect to reduce concentration of CO, HC and NOx in the
exhaust, the EFI system based on closed-loop control is equipped with an oxygen sensor to ensure that actual air-fuel
ratio is closer to theoretical air-fuel ratio. Adjustment of idling exhaust is unnecessary for cars based on loop-closed
control.

VI. Examination of Vacuum Solenoid Valve (VSV) for

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System
Cars are equipped with an electronically controlled evaporative emission control system, as shown in Fig. 2-6 and Fig. 258.
Fuel vapor from fuel tank enters into the intake manifold through a carbon canister charged with active carbon and a
vacuum solenoid valve. When the engine stops, runs at idle or low speed, the vacuum solenoid valve will be closed under
the control of ECU, therefore enabling the fuel vapor from the fuel tank to be stored in the carbon canister rather than to
be emitted into the atmosphere. When the engine is running at a high speed, ECU will timely open the vacuum solenoid
valve according to the engines working condition, enabling the fuel vapor to be absorbed into the intake manifold for
burning with the mixture within the cylinder. So, this system serves to effectively control HC emission without affecting the
engine normal running.
The schematic diagram of the evaporative emission control system is as shown in Fig. 259.

injectors working noise. Check whether the injectors working noise stops temporarily and then resumes after the throttle
rod is released (See Fig. 275). When doing this, you shall firstly shut down the air-conditioner. The engine speed shall
be 1,400r/min after the fuel supply resumes.
4. Detach the tachometer.

XII.Examination of Oxygen Sensor

Due to errors in engine manufacturing and deterioration in car using condition (such as wear and tear of piston ring, carbon
deposit in cylinder, etc.), the real control effect of EMS (Engine Management System) will deviate from the designed ideal
condition, thereby leading to increased fuel consumption, worsened exhaust or decreased efficiency. So, an oxygen
sensor is installed to form a closed-loop control system for control of the exhaust. That is to use it to detect the instant
makeup of the mixture entering into the engine and then input the detected result into ECU. ECU continuously adjusts the
fuel injection rate according to this feedback so as to keep the fuel concentration in the mixture all the time within an ideal
range. This control method not only further increases the injection accuracy, but also controls the exhaust to ensure that
the catalytic converter has the most satisfying purification effect. To be more specific, oxygen sensor is used to detect the
oxygen concentration in the exhaust, which depends on the air-fuel ratio of the mixture. When the real fuel concentration
is higher than the theoretical fuel concentration (its air-fuel ratio is lower than 14.7:1), the exhaust contains no oxygen;
when the former is lower than the latter, the oxygen in the mixture will not be completely consumed and the exhaust
contains oxygen. The lower the fuel concentration in the mixture is, the higher the oxygen concentration in the exhaust is.
ECU adjusts the fuel injection rate according to the feedback from the oxygen sensor so as to make the fuel concentration
in the mixture closer to the theoretical air-fuel ratio; Its error rate is less than 0.25; When the engines working condition
worsens, it will adopt the open-loop control method in order to avoid overheat caused by the catalytic reaction.
Fault phenomena related to oxygen sensor include unstable idling speed, high fuel consumption and excessive exhaust.
The examination method is as follows:
1. Shut off the ignition switch and remove the oxygen sensors plug. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the
oxygen sensors heating resistor, which should range from 1ohm to 5ohm.
2. Install the oxygen sensors plug and then start the engine. When the engine speed reaches 2,500r/min, use an oscillograph to measure the voltage waveform between the No.6 pin (OX) of E4 and the No. 24 pin (E1) of E3 in ECU (See Fig.
276). The correct voltage waveform, whose amplitude should be more than 0.3V, is as shown in Fig. 277a. If the oxygen
sensor is damaged, the amplitude of vibration will decrease, as shown in Fig. 277b. The voltage between the above two
pins measured by a multimeter should be more than 0.3V.
3. Replace the oxygen sensor and keep the engine running at an idling speed for three minutes or so. Then, increase the
engine speed to 1,500r/min and switch on the air-conditioner. At the moment, the idling speed drift should be 1,200 r/min
or above. If there are one or more faults, the warning lamp for engine will light up about one minute after acceleration.
Here, you shall carefully examine the connections to the oxygen sensor. To use oxygen sensor needs use unleaded gasoline. Generally,its life larger then 160,000KM.

i. Matters Needing Attention Items

Related to use Catalytic Converter
If it is confirmed that both the oxygen sensor and other assemblies of EFI are normal but theexhaust is still above normal,
then this problem may probably result from a damaged catalytic converter.
Oxygen sensor is used with catalytic converter. Placed at the middle of the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter can purify
main harmful constituents in the exhaust, such as CO, HC, NOx, etc., but only when the real air-fuel ratio of the mixture is
very close to the theoretical air-fuel ratio, can it realize effective purification. So, oxygen sensor application is designed
mainly to ensure its purification effect, thereby solving the inconsistency between power, fuel consumption and exhaust
contamination.
Catalytic bed in catalytic converter is the carrier for catalytic agent, which is rare earth metal, such as platinum, rhodium,
or palladium. These catalytic agents are able to convert carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water,
and furthermore to convert nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide into nitrogen and CO2 by making them react with each
other. Catalytic converters working temperature is above 300. If its working temperature exceeds 850C, it will be
damaged. Car equipped with catalytic converter shall not use leaded gasoline. Generally, its service life ranges from
80,000km to 100,000km.

ii. Examination of Fuel Pump System Circuit

Fuel pump system circuit is as shown in Fig. 278.
After the engine starts, the current will pass through the ignition switches ST terminal, the starting relays coil and the
ECUs STA terminal (starting signal); after STA and NE signals enter nto the ECU, the triode Tr is triggering.

The current that flows through the FC terminal and the open-loop relay coil makes this relay closed, and the fuel pump
begins to work. Due to the NE (engine running) signal, the ECU will keep Tr triggering all the time. If the NE signal disappears, the fuel pump will stop running. The examination steps for fuel pump system circuit is as following:
1. Shut off the ignition and remove the ECU plug.
2. Put on the ignition and use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the
ECUs FC terminal and the ground wire (See Fig. 279), which should range from 9V
to 14V. If not so, you shall examine the power supply to the ECU.
3. Under normal voltage, if the fuel pump does not work, shut off the ignition switch,
and remove and examine the open-loop relay (See Fig. 280). Between terminals 1
and 2 of the relay there should be connection; between its terminals 3 and 5 there
should be disconnection. When the storage batterys voltage is imposed between
the terminals 1 and 2, the terminals 3 and 5 will be connected to each other.

Chapter 8 Ignition System

Section 1 Introduction to Ignition System

1. Ignition Control

Gasoline engine does work by utilizing spark-plug-created arc to ignite the combustible mixture that is compressed by
the piston during its compression stroke and making them burning. It is necessary for any spark plug to have ignition
energy enough to form an electric arc at some most appropriate crank angle.
The ignition system is mainly composed of ignition coil that generates high voltage ranging from 10KV to 35KV based on
the transient process of the circuit, ignition module, and parts that distribute high-tension electricity to various cylinders,
i.e. distributor, high-tension line, spark plug, etc. There are two main parameters to be controlled according to the engines
working condition: a. The power-on time when the current begins to flow through the primary winding, i.e. power-on time
control; b. The time when the current passing through the primary winding is cut off, i.e. ignition timing control

1. Power-on time control

When the primary winding for the ignition coil is powered on, the primary current strength will increase exponentially with
time. The high voltage generated when the primary current is cut off depends on this current strength at this moment. So,
it is generally hoped that the primary winding is powered on until it is saturated. But on the contrary, long-time poweron will
lead to the ignition coils overheat, thereby resulting in energy loss, heat-related faults, etc. Hence both aspects shall be
considered for the most optimal power-on time.
Because the change rate of the primary current strength varies with the batterys voltage, the final most optimal power-on
time can be determined after being corrected according to the batterys voltage change.
In order to solve the above inconsistency, the ignition system is equipped with a constant current control device, which can
enable a strong current to pass through the ignition coil within a short time.

2. Ignition timing control

For the purpose that the engine can effectively convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, we hope that the highest
combustion pressure occurs when its crank rotates to some point after reaching the top dead center.
From ignition to the point when the highest combustion pressure occurs, it requires a period of time, which is determined
by combustion delay time, flame propagation time, etc. It varies with compression ratio, gasoline quality, air-fuel ratio,
engine load, etc. So, the ignition timing control shall be based on the engines working condition.

3. Electronic ignition system

Electronic ignition system can specify ignition-timing characteristics without limitation and enable the optimal correct
ignition timing at any time; compared with mechanical ignition system featuring simple ignition timing characteristics, it can
increase the engines output power by 2% to 5%, and furthermore improve fuel economy and emission characteristic.
Electronic gasoline injection engine adopts a non-contact electronic ignition system that has no pulse generator or igniter;
ECU-controlled electronic ignition system can be divided into two types: distributor-type electronic ignition system and
non-distributor-type electronic ignition system. MR479Q/MR479QA/MR481QA/JL481Q engine adopts the ECU-controlled
distributor-type ignition system based on sequential ignition
(1) ECU. Electronic ignition system and fuel injection control system share the same ECU. ECU makes correction to
sensor signals related to engine speed, amount of inlet air (engine load), etc., by using a built-in microcomputer to control
the power-on time and the power-off time (ignition time) of primary current.

(2) Ignition module. The ignition module drives the power transistor according to the ignition signal from ECU, thereby
controlling the poweron and poweroff of the primary current for the ignition coil. It also sends the ignition-timing (IGT) signal
to ECU for confirming whether the ignition operation is normal.
(3) Ignition coil. The ignition coil is a necessary part used to generate high voltage required for ignition. It is mainly
composed of primary winding through which primary current passes, secondary winding that generates high voltage by
adopting a high turn ratio as compared to the primary winding, and iron core used to form a magnetic path. The primary
current depends on the batterys voltage, the primary windings resistance, and poweron time. When the primary current is
cut off, a self-induction electrodynamic potential is created within the primary winding, and under this electrodynamic
potential, a secondary induction electrodynamic is generated within the secondary winding, which is proportional to the
winding ratio of the secondary winding to the primary winding(MR/JL is double ignition coil).
(4) High-tension ignition line. Its purpose is to transmit the high voltage electricity from the ignition coil to spark plugs.
(5) Spark plugs. They are used to form electric arcs between their central electrode and side electrode, thereby igniting the
mixture.

Section 2 Troubleshooting of Ignition System

1. Attention items before Ignition System Troubleshooting
1. Connect a tachometer to the ignition system. When doing this, connect its measurement line to the check connectors
terminal IG (-)
2. Because some tachometers are not compatible with the ignition system, you shall firstly check whether the tachometer
to be used is compatible with this ignition system.
3. Do not make any terminal of the tachometer contact the ground line; otherwise this will lead to damage of the igniter
and/or the ignition coil.
4. Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running.
5. When checking the igniter, you shall correctly ground it with the car body.

II. Examination of Ignition System on the car

1. Examination of high-tension spark
Check whether there is spark generation in each spark plug:
(1) Remove the spark plug and its high-tension wire.
(2) Install spark plugs onto various high-tension wires, and correctly ground them with the car body.
(3) When the engine starts, there should be spark generation (See Fig. 286). Note: when doing this examination, the time
for which the engine starts shall be within the range from 1 to 2 seconds so that gasoline will not erupt from the injector. If
there is no spark generated, you shall examine high-tension wires.

2. Examination of high voltage wires

(1) Remove the high-voltage wire from the spark plug and
distributor cover, i.e. from the rubber bushes on them.
Note: do not pull the wire so as not to damage the core body
inside the high voltage wire (See Fig. 287).
(2) Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the high
voltage wire (See Fig. 288). The maximum resistance should
be 25,000ohm. If the measured resistance exceeds this
maximum value, you shall examine the terminals of the high
voltage wire. If necessary, you shall replace it.
(3) Reconnect the high voltage wire to the spark plug ,and fix
the high voltage wire by using a clip (See Fig. 289).
Fig. 286 examine the spark plugs arcing

3. Examination of spark plugs

(1) Remove the high voltage wire from the spark plug. Use a 16mm spark plug socket wrench to remove the spark plug.
(2) Use a spark plug cleaner or tinsel brush to clean the spark plug (See Fig. 290). And visually check whether there is
any electrode erosion, screw thread damage or insulation damage. If so, you shall replace it.
(3) Adjust the clearance between electrodes, i.e. carefully bend the side electrode so as to obtain an appropriate
clearance between electrodes (See Fig. 291). The correct clearance between electrodes is 0.80.1mm. JL481 Q/MR
481QA clearance between electrodes is 10.05mm
(4) Use a 16mm spark plug socket wrench to mount the spark plug (the torque to screw it tightly is 18Nm) and reconnect
the high voltage wire.

Section 1 Makeup and Features of Lubrication System

The purpose of engine lubrication system is to continuously deliver lubricating oil onto various kinematic pairs surfaces
so as to reduce friction and abrasion between relatively kinematic parts, thereby enabling them to work normally. In
addition, the flowing lubrication oil can perform many other functions, including chip removal, cooling, sealing and rust
protection. Engines lubrication system consists mainly of oil sump, coarse oil filter, oil pump, oil filter, oil dipstick, oil
gallery, oilhole, and some sealing parts. Engine adopts mixed lubrication methods, including forced lubrication and splash
lubrication. Forced lubrication is used for the following kinematic pairs: main journal and bearing of the crankshaft,
connecting rod journal and bearing of the crankshaft, piston pin and key seat, camshaft and bearing, etc., because these
parts have high load and their relative velocities are also high, therefore needing a certain pressure to deliver lubricating
oil into their clearances to form oil films; while splash lubrication is used for naked or light-load cylinder walls, cam surface,
tappet valve, etc.

ensuring its good lubrication performance. When the

bolt to the No.1 bearing seat for intake and exhaust camshafts.
This firstly lubricates the journals and bearings. Then the lubricating oil enters into the main oil passage for camshafts and
is sprayed out from various oil holes to lubricate various journals and bearing seats. The oil squeezed out therefrom flows
onto the contact surface between valve tappet and cam; in addition, for the adjusting shim & cam kinetic pair, the entrainment effect from cam rotation enables its own lubrication. Due to obstruction of the cylinder heads upper shield, it can be
ensured that a little lubricating oil enters into the clearance between the valve stem and the oil seal for lubrication of valve
stem and guide tube. The accumulated oil can flow back to the bottom of the oil sump through the positive crankcase
ventilation hole and the two oil-return holes. If some reason results in oil return obstruction and high resistance.then the
engine oil consumption will easily increase. The engine oil passage diagram for engines lubrication system is shown in Fig.
295.

II. Structure and Features of Engine Oil Pump

As a reliable rotor-type engine oil pump with a simple structure, the engine oil pump adopted by engine pumps oil by
volume change of internal and external rotors. Its driving rotor has 10 teeth and its driven rotor has 11 teeth. The two rotors
centers have an offset "e" relatively to each other. On the side of each of them, there is a mark "". You shall align the two
marks and make them towards the pump cover. The gear profile of driven rotor is shaped like a section of positive arc of
equal radius with driving rotor as its conjugate curve. With a simple manufacturing process, its driving and driven rotors are
made through sintering based on the powder metallurgy technology. The engine oil pump realizes its direct driving by
means of ridge among the four planes that are milled at the front of the crankshaft. In order to prevent the lubricating oil
within the crankcase from fleeing out, a crankshaft front oil seal is placed on the oil pump body and the oil seal lip adopts
an S-shaped structure, which can provide small contact area, high elasticity and good sealing performance. The disassembled engine oil pump assembly is shown

in Fig. 296. Its pump body is made of cast aluminum. At the front of its oil seal seat there is an oil return hole, through which
the lubricating oil scraped down by the oil seal as the crankshaft rotates will flow back to the oil sump. When the pressure
within the chamber of oil pump is higher than 0.49MPa, the pressure relief valve will open, the pressure within the oil chamber will decrease, and partial lubricating oil will flow back to the oil sump through the oil release hole of the pressure relief
valve.

III. Structural Features of Engine Oil Filter

During use of engine oil, carbon granules easily occur, along with metal powder dropping due to friction. Dust and water in
the atmosphere along with fuel combustion resultants lead easily to occurrence of black muddy mixture, which will cause
early abrasion and engine bearing burnout.
The schematic diagram of engines engine oil filter structure is shown in Fig. 297. Lubricating oil firstly flows in through
holes scattered around the engine oil filter, and then enters into the filter element along the sidewall. The lubricating oil
filtered by the filterelement goes into the central main pipe through small neck-bush holes, and then flows into the main oil
gallery within the cylinder block. If the filter element is completely blocked, or the pressure within the filter is too high, the
lubricating oil will flow to the filters end along thesidewall, and at this moment, the bypass will open enabling it to flow into
the main oil gallery.
Filter element of engine oil filter is made of paper material. Filter paper is made from long-fiberpaper pulp acquired from
resin shaping process. The entire filter element is formed by agglutination of its components. The filter element provides
large filterable area, high filteringaccuracy, high efficiency and small resistance. Since foreign matter filtered out is attached
onto the exterior of the filter element, long-time use of it will decrease its filtering performance. So, you shall timely replace
the engine oil filter after a certain time (8,000Km to 10,000Km).

IV. Influence of Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) on Engine Oil Lubrication Effect
When the engine is running normally, partial combustion gas
within the cylinder will inevitably flee through the gap between the
piston and the cylinder into the crankcase, thereby increasing its
internal gas amount and pressure. As the engines load and
pressure increase, the gas leakage will increase. If the cylinder is
abraded or has poor sealing, the gas leakage will also increase.
Generally, the gas mixture entering into the crankcase includes

Bypass valve
open at 0.1MPa

the following products of imperfect combustion: NOx, CHx, H2O,

etc. If the waste gas within the crankcase cannot be discharged
timely, its internal pressure will become higher and higher, leading
to continuous waste gas leakage at tiny gaps, such as the one
between the crankshafts protruding end and the cylinder block
and the one between the oil sump and the cylinder block, accompanied with increased noise and deteriorated engine oil. So,
engine adopts closed positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
system, whose schematic diagram is shown in Fig. 298. On the
internal sidewall of the cylinder head, there are vertical ventilation
holes enabling interconnection between the crankcase and the
valve chamber on the cylinder head, and furthermore on the
cylinder head hood there are two forced interfaces placed, one of
which is connected to the air filter and the other is connected to
the resonant chamber of the intake manifold. Such design can
produce a vacuum difference between the air filters rear end and
the resonant chamber of the intake manifold, which will bring a
negative pressure for the crankcase. Thus, the fresh air can flow
into the crankcase, mix with its internal waste gas, and flow
through the ventilation holes into the intake manifold and then the

Fig. 297 Structural diagram for the engine oil filter

cylinder for combustion, consequently realizing a simply exhaust

gas recycle (EGR). However, this practice will certainly lead to a PCV
very unstable idling speed and a large amount of fleeing engine
oil. For this reason, engine uses a check valve, which ensures low
flow rate at large opening, and prevents engine oil from leaking
out. In short, if the check valve cannot work normally, more and
more waste gas and engine oil vapor in the cylinder head hood
will not only cause a large amount of gas to flee out through the
joints of the cylinder head hood and sealing gaps, but also
increase the noise of valve springs and deteriorate the engines
working condition.

Section 3 Common Faults of Lubrication System and

Troubleshooting
1. Over-low Engine Oil Pressure
Over-low engine oil pressure will lead to poor lubrication or dry friction, easily resulting in intensified abrasion of kinetic
parts within the engine or even its burnout. Generally, when the engine oil pressure is too low, the engine needs an
overhaul. Possible causes and solutions of over-low engine oil pressure are as follows:
1. Over-low oil viscosity. You shall use the engine oil with the specified viscosity.
2. Poor seal of the engine oil pumps inlet profile or outlet profile. You shall seal up them once again.
3. Terrible abrasion of intra-pump parts. You shall replace them.
4. Clogged engine oil filter. You shall clean it.
5. Serious camshaft bearing abrasion. You shall troubleshoot the cylinder head. If necessary, replace it.
6. Serious crankshaft or connecting rod bearing abrasion, or over-wide clearance. You shall eliminate them. If necessary,
you shall reselect bearings, polish the journals or replace the crankshaft.
7. Over-low engine oil level. You shall check whether there is any leakage of the engine. After troubleshooting leakage
faults, you shall fill engine oil to reach the reference level.

II. Over-high Engine Oil Pressure

Long-time over-high engine oil pressure will lead to faults in its lubrication system. Possible reasons and treatments are as
follows:
1. Dirty engine oil. This will lead to blocked engine oil filter or bypass valve. And in this case, you shall replace the engine
oil and the filter.
2. Too small clearance of main crankshaft bearing, connecting rod bearing or camshaft bearing. You shall examine these
clearances. If so, you shall reselect the corresponding bearing or polish their journals.
3. Clogged oil passage of the cylinder block or cylinder head. You can use kerosene to clean these two oil ducts. For any
internal narrow section, you can use a thin iron wire twined by a clean duster cloth moistened by kerosene to clean them.
After doing this, you shall dry them by using compressed air.
4. Over-high engine oil viscosity. You shall change it to the engine oil with the specified viscosity.
5. Blocked pressure-limiting pressure valve of engine oil pump. Uninstall it and troubleshoot this fault.

III.Engine Oil Deterioration

There are many causes of engine deterioration. Generally, engine oil quality can be determined by observing its appearance and its spot.
1. If the engine oil contains a large amount of milky film, you can make the conclusion that the engine oil has been substantially moisturized. In this case, its viscosity will decrease.

2. Use the oil level dipstick to drip a drop of engine oil onto a white filter paper. If the oil drops diffusion area is large and
its peripheral parts color is light, then you can conclude that the engine oil has been diluted by fuel. If its central part
appears to be black, then it indicates that the engine oil has deteriorated. If its central part is brown, then this indicates that
the engine oil quality is normal.

IV. Excessive Engine Oil Consumption

Main causes for excessive engine oil consumption include engine oil combustion and leakage. The fundamental cause for
this case is poor sealing performance of sealing parts. Possible reasons for engine oil burnout are as follows:
1. Over-wide piston-cylinder gap or serious abrasion, causing engine oil to flee upwards.
2. The piston ring sealing fails. Due to intensified abrasion, its radial elasticity decreases, and its radial gap, side gap and
rear gap become larger. In this case, you shall replace the piston ring.
3. Damaged or failing valve oil seal. This can cause a large amount of lubricating oil to flee into the combustion chamber.
In this case, you shall replace the valve oil seal.
4. Check valve cannot open rationally, failing in oil/gas separation.
5. Over-high engine temperature, excessive waste gas within the crankcase, over-high pressure within the cylinder head
cover, along with fresh air failing to flow smoothly within the PCV system.
In addition, the main reason for engine oil fleeing out is that the pressures within the crankcase and the cylinder head hood
are too high, thereby causing increased gap between sealing part and sealed part and decreased sealing part elasticity.
The fact that the part where the engine oil filter is connected is not tightly compressed, along with the fact that the sealing
gasket have no enough elasticity, are also a cause of engine oil leakage.

Chapter 10 Cooling System

Section 1 Composition & Features of Cooling System

High temperature (above 2200C) caused by the running of engine will heat up the contacted parts (like cylinder head,
cylinder block, piston, piston ring, valve, etc) , thus reduce the mechanical strength of the above parts, cause distortion,
damage the normal clearance between parts, cause serious weariness, or even serious dislocation and cracks. High
temperature will also cause malfunction of lubrication oil, which will lower the co efficiency of air inlet and reduce engine
power. Adequate cooling to parts working under high temperatureconditions is an essential process to ensure the proper
function of the engine. However, it is important to
make adequate cooling. If being under-cooled,
malfunctions like reduction of inlet air volume, incomplete combustion, inflammation caused by knock,

surface inflammation, etc will occur. If being

overcooled, work temperature of lubrication oil will be
lowered, which will increase the vicosiity of lubricant.

II. Structure & Features of Water Pump

The water pump of engine is a centrifugal vane one. The pump pressurizes the coolant and makes coolant circulatied in
line of the system design.
The pump body is made of aluminum alloy, aimed to be more corrosion-proof. The pump is driven by belt connected with
crankshaft pulley. The size of pump is shown on Table 17.

III. Structure & Features of thermostat

Engine adopts wax-type single valve thermostat. Its size is shown on Table18, while its structure is shown on Fig. 318 and
319.
The thermostat is located inside the body of water intake end, interconnected with cylinders jacket. The upper end of rod
4 is fixed on support 3, while its lower end is inserted into rubber boot 5. Both rubber sheet 5 and body1 is filled with wax
7. If coolant temperature is lower than 80C, wax will be solidified and valve 6 will be pressed to close via spring 2.Thus
coolant will directly flow into cylinders cooling jacket via bypass valve 10

without passing through radiator. The above process is called a small circulation, with limited magnitude. If coolant
temperature is higher than 80C, wax 7 will be liquefied. Thus, its expansion will force the rubber boot 5 to contract. As
upper side of rod 4 is fixed, the contraction of rubber boot 5 will push housing 1 to overcome the pressure of spring 2 and
move downward and push open valve 8. The opening of valve 8 will allow most coolant to pass through heat radiator, thus
the so-called large circulation is completed. However, in the case of large circulation, there is still a small amount of coolant
to bypass through. It is of great magnitude.

Section 2 Inspection and Maintenance of Cooling System

1. Cleaning and Maintenance of Radiator
Clean the radiator with compressed air or water. Make sure fan motor is not moistened. (Better offer protection to the
motor)

1. Inspect whether there are any injuries on the external surface of the radiator. Replacement may be considered if the injury is serious.

Fig. 326 Inspect the fan current value and its rotation

V. Water filling and Air Exhaust

If coolant level falls below low mark, open the cover of water tank and replenish running water slowly to a level between
marks of full and low when the water tank is cold. If the replenishment occurs when water tank is in hot status, slowly
open water tank cover and replenish running water slowly to a level between marks of full and low with wet cloth. Air
exhaust from water tank is usually an automatic process, and repair is required if any failure occurs.

Section 3 Malfunction and Trouble shooting of Cooling System

Most troubles come from the following three:

1. Engine overheat caused by under-cooling

If under-cooled, parts like cylinder and cylinder head will be over-heated. Thus, replenishment of coolant is needed.

II. Adequately cooled but engine is overheated

If engine is overheated when coolant volume is adequate, it is possibly caused by pump failure, loose pump belt, fan failure
or thermostat failure, etc. Adequate trouble shooting measures are required.

III. Abrupt overheat

Abrupt overheat may be caused by sudden belt rupture, or bearing failure that disables the coolant pump. Thus, replacement of belt and bearing is required. Other possible causes may be fan failure caused by fuse melting or electric failure that
disables the fan. Thus, replacement of fuse or repair of motor is required.

Chapter 11 Clutch

Section 1 Structure of Clutch and Its Operating Mechanism

1. Clutch Function
1. During automobile starting, it helps the engine to be engaged with drive train and enables smooth starting.
2. During gear shifting, it separates engine from drive train, reduces the impact between gears in transmission for easy
shifting.
3. When there are heavy dynamic load, the clutch will skid to protect power train system and avoid excessively heavy load
on it.

II. Clutch Structure

The clutch is composed of driving part compo, driven part compo etc,.
This clutch is a single plate, dry type, diaphragm spring clutch. See its structure in Fig. 327.

1. Pressure Plate Assy.

The pressure plate with diaphragm spring is fixed on engine crankshaft flywheel via clutchcover. The lug on the rim of the
pressure plate extends into the aperture of the cover and can slide along the axis of the aperture. The projection will take
the pressure plate to rotate through the clutch cover when the flywheel rotates. The pressure spring is a diaphragm spring
made of stamped high-grade spring steel sheet. Near the center there are radial cuts which form elastic lever. The outer
rim of the diaphragm is pressed on the pressure plate to make pressure plate, flywheel and driven plate pressed together.
The clutch pressure plate is shown in Fig. 328.

2.Driven Plate Assy

Driven Plate Assy is assembled between pressure plate and flywheel. It
has steel sheet body with friction lining on both sides. It is connected
with transmission input shaft with slip spline. In order to reduce the
torsional vibrations of driven plate assy. and

power train system, there mounts a torsional vibration damper which is a corrugated plate to make the clutch
engagement more smooth. The structure of clutch Friction plate Assy is shown in Fig.329.

3. Release Mechanism
The release lever is the main part of release mechanism. The clutch release fork is fixed on the clutch shaft with bolt. The
release bearing is pressed into the bearing sleeve. The release sleeve is put on the transmission input shaft. The release
fork is a lever with pivot in the middle. To pull the release fork can pull out the pressure plate through release bearing to
release pressure plates pressure on Driven plate Assy. The release mechanism is shown in Fig.330.

III. Structure of Clutch Operating Mechanism

The part between clutch pedal and clutch cable is called clutch operating mechanism. It operates the release mechanism
to make driving/driven parts engaged or disengaged. The structure of clutch cable is shown in Fig. 331. The clutch pedal
free stroke can be adjusted at the transmission end of the cable. The structure of the clutch pedal is shown in Fig. 332. The
pedal install height can be adjusted via adjusting bolt. The pedal install height is: 181.5 +5
0 mm.

(3) Detach the fastening bolt for clutch cable lever, and detach the clutch cable.
(4) Detach clutch pedal assy. Take down the torsion spring, bushing and spacer.

III. Inspection and Maintenance

1. Check the surface of flywheel and pressure plate for warpage, scratch, crack or decoloration. Replace or repair them if
necessary. Grind the friction surface when the warpage of pressure plate or flywheel exceeds 0.2mm, the scratch exceeds
0.5mm or the unevenness exceeds 0.12mm. The total grinding amount should not exceed 1.0~1.5mm, or the pressure
plate or flywheel needs replace.
2. Check the diaphragm spring inner end for wear, corrosion or breakage. Replace the diaphragm spring when there are
severe wear. When the inner ends of the diaphragm spring are not in the same plane, level them off. Replace the spring
when the spring has bend, break or obvious elasticity reduction, otherwise it may lead to clutch slippage and unreliable
performance. The wear depth and width of diaphragm spring should be measured. The limit for wear depth is 0.6mm, the
limit for wear width is 5mm (Fig. 335). Check if the rivets of pressure plate and clutch cover are loosened and fasten it when
loosened.

3. Check the clutch friction plate for wear and axial run-out; the
allowed wear limit is 0.33 mm (rivet depth), the allowed axial run-out
limit is 1.34mm. Mount the clutch plate on new input shaft before
measurement of axial run-out(see Fig 336).
4. Check the release bearing for smooth running; turn the release
bearing with hand (Fig. 337) and apply axial pressure. Check if there
are abnormal feel or stagnation. Stagnation indicates severe wear of
bearing seat or steel ball, and timely repair orreplacement is needed.
5. Check the contact surface between release bearing sleeve and
release bearing circlip, check the release bearing sleeve slip surface
for damage or wear.

III. Clutch Maintenance

If the clutch is not well maintained, there will be slippage during operation. In order to prevent slippage and ensure normal
work, the clutch plate should be kept clean. During application and maintenance, the clutch plate should be free of oil
contact. Clean the clutch plate with gasoline if it is stained with oil.
Please have regular inspection on the wear condition of the clutch plate lining. Replace the clutch plate when the wear
exceeds working limit. If the plate lining is slippery and hardened, the friction coefficient will go down and affect the normal
torque transfer, therefore, the clutch plate lining should be grinded with sandpaper or replaced if it is not repairable.
During vehicle drive, dont place your foot on clutch pedal, which may cause the clutch half coupled and lead to clutch plate
slippage, accelerate wear and reduce clutch life.
In order to ensure that the clutch has agile and reliable operation, reduce the abrasion at the cable joint, smear grease on
the moving parts of the cable during vehicle maintenance.

Chapter 12 Common Faults of Engine and Troubleshooting

Section 1 Overview

Engine is the heart of automobile. Its working performance relates directly tonormal operation of the entire automobile.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide regularmaintenance and service to engine, so as to eliminate troubles as they begin
to develop. In this way, power and economic indexes of the engine could be kept at high level, which assures a stable
performance of the whole automobile, thus extends its service life significantly.
In case of fault, always analyze carefully, find out the cause, locate defective part accurately, and take measures according
to requirement of maintenance instructions to eliminate the trouble and recover normal working conditions, enabling the
whole automobile to operate in good technical conditions.

Section 2 Determination and Elimination of Common

Faults in Engine
1. Oil and Circuit Faults that Cause the Engine Unable to Start
Conditions in which engine cannot be started may be divided mainly into the following categories: starter does not work or
starter cannot drive the engine, or starter could drive the engine but with a low rotation speed, or starter could drive the
engine to rotate normally, but can not start, and there is no signs of ignition, or with signs of ignition, it is still impossible to
start. There are many causes that lead to start failure, such as faults in the start system, ignition system, gasoline injection
system and engine mechanical failure etc.

1. Starter Does Not Rotate, or Cannot Drive the Engine to Rotate or Rotation Is Slow
(1) Symptom of fault: starter does not rotate or rotates in a languid way
(2) Cause of fault:
a. Voltage of storage battery is too low, battery is excessively discharged, engine is damaged or charging circuit is defective;
b. Post of storage battery is corroded and loosened;
c. Start circuit is defective, ECU cannot obtain STA signal;
d. Starter is damaged.

2. Engine Cannot Start and There Is No Ignition Signs

(1) Symptom of fault: after start switch is powered on, starter could drive the engine to rotate
normally, but cannot start, and there is no ignition signs.
(2) Cause of fault:
a. There is no oil in the oil tank;
b. Electric petrol pump does not work;
c. Injector does not work;

d. Pressure in oil passage is too low;

e. Irrational starting operation.
f. Throttle position sensor is damaged or circuit of throttle position sensor is broken, no signal is returned to ECU.
g. Ignition system fails.
h. Compression pressure of the engine is too low.
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
a. Firstly check oil storage in the oil tank, then turn on ignition switch. If the pointer of gasoline gauge does not move or oil
level alarm lamp illuminates, there is no oil in the tank, now fill in oil.
b. Check whether electric petrol pump works or not. Use a lead to make two detection jacks of electric petrol pump shorted,
then turn on the ignition switch, now sound of petrol pump operation should be heard from the port of oil tank; or when you
pinch the oil outlet pipe, you may feel pulsation of oil flow; or dismantle oil return pipe on fuel pressure adjuster, gasoline
should flow out; or if fuel pressure gauge is mounted, it could be determined directly.
If electric petrol pump does not work, firstly check whether main fuse, main relay, fuel pump relay, fuel pump control circuit
and ECU are normal or not. If they are all normal, then check whether circuiter of fuel pump is open-circuited or shorted,
whether check valve is damaged or not, if there is any problem, repair or replace in time.
c. If there is no injection sound in injector, firstly check whether there is fault in the control circuit of injector, use a test lamp
of large impedance to connect the plug of injector harness. Close ignition start switch, if the test lamp illuminates, the
injector must be damaged, replace it; if the test lamp does not illuminate, then check whether main fuse, EFI relay, fuse,
ignition switch and ECU terminal are normal, if not, repair or replace it.
d. If fuel pressure is too low, fuel injection volume must be too small for the engine to start. Now check
whether fuel filter in the oil passage is clogged or not, whether safety valve of fuel pump is damaged, whether fuel pressure
adjuster is started within normal range, otherwise repair or replace it.
e. Generally, electric injection engine adopts contact type start engine.
f. Check whether circuit of throttle position sensor (TPS) is broken or not.
g. Firstly check whether there is any fault code, if there is, check according to fault code; if no, check the strength of high
voltage spark, if it is too weak, check whether there is fault in spark plug, high voltage wire, high voltage coil and distributor
cap etc. If any faults are found, repair or replace it.
h. Check compression pressure of the cylinder. Insert compression pressure gauge into the spark plug hole, open the
throttle completely, measure compression pressure while starting the engine. When revolution of the engine is over
250r/min, if compression pressure is less than 980kPa, dismantle the engine, check and eliminate fault.

3. With Ignition Signs, it Still Fails to Start

(1) Symptom of fault:
When starting the engine, the starter could drive engine to rotate normally, there is some ignition signs, but cannot start.
(2) Cause of fault:
a. Ignition advance angle is not good;
b. Ignition sequence is abnormal, there is false fire;
c. High voltage spark is too weak;
d. Fuel pressure is too low;
e. Fuel pressure adjuster leaks;
f. Idle control valve is damaged;
g. Water temperature sensor is damaged;
h. Vacuum pressure sensor fails;

i. Air filter is clogged;

j. Fuel leaks from injector;
k. Compression pressure of the cylinder is a low;
l. Intake temperature sensor is damaged.
(3) Analysis, diagnosis and elimination of fault
a. For electric injection engine, ignition timing in cold start mode is normally fixed, but when ignition timing is changed for
certain cause, cold start will be difficult, now make corrections;
b. Installation sequence of high voltage coil is disordered, correct it;
c. Check high voltage spark, check whether high voltage spark on the high voltage bus of distributor is normal or not and
whether high voltage spark on high voltage branch of each cylinder is normal or not. If spark on the bus is weak, replace
high voltage coil; if spark on the bus is normal, while spark on the branch is too weak, it indicates that there is current
leakage on the distributor cap and distributor rotor, therefore, replace it. In addition, too large spark plug gap will also
influence start performance, adjust spark plug gap to normal value.0.80.1mm
d. If fuel pressure is too low, check whether voltage of storage battery is normal, otherwise eliminate or replace; check
whether there is leakage on the check valve of fuel pump, whether there is clog on the fuel filter and fuel pipe, if there is,
eliminate or replace it;
e. If there is leakage on fuel pressure adjuster, gasoline tends to flee from intake manifold, making it difficult to start,
eliminate or replace it;
f. Idle control valve cannot be opened to the max. position due to mechanical abrasion, aging or fault of control circuit, now
replace the idle control valve, repair control circuit and eliminate the fault;
g. If data of water temperature sensor is not accurate, it might lead to too small fuel injection, check the water temperature
sensor according to standard data, and adjust the data;
h. Time lag of vacuum pressure sensor is large, response is not sensitive at low revolution, which leads to inaccurate fuel
injection, make adjustment or replacement;
i. If filter element of air filter is too dirty, flow resistance of air becomes too large, start is difficult, then replace the filter
element.
In a word, there are many factors that may cause the engine unable to start, make analysis according to severity of the
fault. Generally speaking, firstly check ignition system, then check air intake system, fuel system and control system, and
finally check pressure of cylinder. Check fault code before checking the fault. Diagnosis and elimination process for engine
start failure is shown in Fig. 355.

II. Oil and Circuit Faults that Cause the Engine Hard to Start
Engine start difficulty refers to the fact that starter could drive the engine to rotate at normal speed, and there are evident
ignition signs, but the engine cannot start, or successive starting attempts or long time rotation of starter is required for
starting the engine. For difficult start, identify whether it appears in cold auto, warm auto or appears on both occasions.
(1) Symptom of fault:
During start, rotating speed of crankshaft is normal, but it needs a longer time to start, or fails to start even with evident
ignition signs

III. Oil and Circuit Faults that Reduce Engine Performance

Poor engine performance mainly appear as insufficient power, poor acceleration, larger fuel consumption, poor idle speed
and overheating of engine etc.

1. Insufficient Power
(1) Symptom of fault:
The engine is basically normal when operates without load, but acceleration is slow when it runs with load, powerless when
it climbs a slope, even if the throttle valve is treaded down to the end, power is still insufficient, speed cannot be increased
and cannot reach max. speed.
(2) Cause of fault:
a. Clogged air filter;
b. Poor airtightness of intake system;
c. Intake pressure sensor failure;
d. Insufficient fuel pressure;
e. Cracked pressure adjuster;
f. Blocked injector or poor atomization;
g. Throttle position sensor failure;
h. High voltage spark too weak;
i. Improper throttle spacing;
j. Poor airtightness of intake, exhaust valve, ineffective piston ring, low compression pressure;
k. Excessive carbon accumulation in spark plug and combustion chamber;
l. Water temperature switch or thermostat fails;
m. Oxygen sensor(EGO) aging;
n. Ignition timing incorrect;
o. Check valve fails;
(3) Diagnosis procedure of less powerful engine (Fig. 357)

2. Poor Deceleration

IV. Exhaust Smoke from Exhaust Pipe

Is Abnormal (or with Unusual Odor)
When combustion system of an engine fails, smoke discharged from exhaust pipe is abnormal in color.

1. Exhaust Smoke Is Very Dark

This is caused by incomplete combustion, gas mixture is too thick to be combusted completely, and certain gasoline is
discharged even without combustion, which leads to decrease of engine power. Now it is necessary to adjust concentration
of gas mixture in time, check fuel pressure adjuster, throttle position sensor, injector and ECU system and make corrections.

2. Exhaust Smoke Is Blue with Unusual Odor

This is indicative of the substantial existence of engine oil vapor in the exhaust gas. Engine oil enters cylinder and participates in combustion. The main cause is that oil piston ring is not scraped neatly, and abraded improperly, now replace the
oil ring; it is also possible that valve oil seal is defective or the spacing between valve stem and bushing is too large, so that
oil enters combustion chamber to participate in combustion. In this case, it is necessary to replace oil seal or bushing to
return to normal condition.

3. Exhaust Smoke Is White

This is caused by water vapor or fuel vapor in the exhaust gas. The main cause is that head gasket is broken, thus allowing
cooling water to permeate slowly into the cylinder and participate in combustion, then water vapor enters exhaust pipe.
Now replace the head gasket in time, restore it to normal condition.

Section 3 Determination and Elimination of

Abnormal Noises in the Engine
The engine gives out abnormal noises during operation, such as slap, clang, metallic friction sound, beep etc, which are
called abnormal noises.
Abnormal noises of engine are generated mainly in valve train, assy. of connecting rod, piston, crankcase and other accessory systems. Below we mainly discuss determination and elimination method of major abnormal noises in valve train and
crankshaft linkage system

1. Determination and Elimination Method of Major

Abnormal Noises in Valve Train
Valve mechanism mainly consists of intake, exhaust camshaft, valve, valve bushing, tappet and driven transmission gear
etc.

1. Abnormal Noise of the Camshaft

(1) Axial gap of camshaft is too large (normal value for intake camshaft: 0.030-0.085mm, exhaust camshaft: 0.0350.090mm), when the gap exceeds 0.11mm, abnormal noise often occurs, it must be replaced;
(2) Bending of camshaft is also a cause of abnormal noise, align it; otherwise discard it.
(3) Journal of camshaft is abraded excessively, so the radial gap between camshaft and bearing is too large which leads
to abnormal noise, replace it;

2. Slap Noise in Valve Set

(1) Abnormal noise in valve is mainly caused by too large valve gap and damaged spring seat flange in valve, it must be
replaced;
(2) Abnormal slap noise in valve spring is mainly caused by broken valve spring, it must be replaced;
(3) Abnormal free play noise in valve is mainly caused by dropout of valve lockpin or broken valve head, it must be
replaced;
(4) Abnormal noise generated between intake, exhaust valve and their bushing is mainly caused by jamming between the
valve and its bushing, valve cannot be closed, repair bushing or replace it;
(5) Abnormal noise is caused by untight close between valve and valve seat, engine cannot work normally, now grind the
valve for good fitting, otherwise replace it.

3. Abnormal noise in gear is mainly caused by too large backlash due to abrasion of gear,
so noise generates during operation, now replace the mated gear.

Chapter 13 Power source

The power source of the automobile is composed of battery, alternator regulator. Every electrical equipment is powered
by the battery and alternator. When the alternator doesnt generate electricity, the energy of the automobile is directly
provided by the battery; when the engine works, it drives the alternator run. All the energy of the electrical equipment of the
automobile is energized by the alternator while the surplus energy is supplemented to the battery. When the generator is
overloaded, the battery supplies power.

Section 1 Alternator and Regulator

SMA car series is equipped with three-phase silicon rectifier alternator whose voltage regulator is a built-in integrated
circuit characterized by small volume, compact structure, large output power, long application life and stable working
performance. In addition to those, it doesnt disturb the semiconductor radio and can emit heat by itself without damaging
the motor coil due to overheated alternator.

1. Structure of Alternator
Structure is shown in Fig. 360
1.Rotor Assy.: The rotor with the excitation coil runs together with the shaft as a whole part. It is composed of the iron core,
excitation coil, collector ring and fan.

2. Driving End Frame Assy.: The driving end frame is used to support the rotor with which the alternator is mounted on the
engine. In order to improve the cooling performance of the alternator. The ventilating hole is on the rear cover and front
cover.
3. Stator Assy.: It includes stator iron core and stator winding, which is pressed into the driving end frame to form an integral
part.
4. Rectifier Assy.: The diode of the rectifier applies a connection pole for insulation, which makes the rectifier a whole assy.
characterized by compact structure, small size and reliable performance. It is fixed behind the rear end frame with screws.
5. Voltage Regulator: It is secured behind the rear end frame of the alternator with screws whose interior is composed of a
single IC board. The voltage regulator is small in size and reliable in performance.
Furthermore, the charging indication light indicates the working status of the generator and reminds the driver of not forgetting switching off the ignition switch to prevent the battery from discharging to the generator.

II. Alternator Check

1. Rotor Winding Check: The open circuit or short circuit malfunction of the rotor winding can be checked by measuring the resistance. During checking, shown in the Fig. 361, place the multimeter in the position Rx1, connect the two
rods with the two collector rings and view the instrument readings (standard value is 2.73.1).
2. Rotor Shaft Bending Check: The axial vibration shall not exceed 0.5mm; if it exceeds this value, the rotor shall be put in
the V block or placed in the lathe for correction. If necessary, replace the
rotor assy.
3. Armature winding check (Fig. 362): The open circuit malfunction of the
armature winding can be checked by the R1 of the multi-meter. When
checking, connect the two rods with any two of the wires of the armature
winding, the circuit shall be connected. If the value is infinity, it indicates an
open circuit somewhere in the winding. The earthing malfunction of the
armature can be checked by the R1K of the multimeter. While checking,
connect one rod with the iron core of the stator while connecting the other
with each outlet wire. If the reading is infinity, the armature winding is good

Fig. 361 Rotor Winding Check

in insulation; if the reading is zero, there is earthing in the armature

winding.
4. Rectifier check: Check with R1K of the multimeter. Connect one pen to
the terminal B and the other one to the terminal E. If the circuit is connected
in one direction, while unconnected after exchanging the positions of two
pens, the rectifier functions well. Otherwise, the rectifier is proven to have
malfunction and needs replacement.
Carbon brush and brush holder shall be neat and tidy without damage or
crack. The valid exposed length of the carbon brush after being installed
shall be 4.5mm. If excessive wear reduces the length to less than 2/3 of the
original, it needs replacement.

Fig. 362 Armature winding check

III. Alternator Application and Maintenance

The alternator socket must be installed firmly to prevent the alternator from producing transient over high voltage due to
a loosened socket and B terminal, followed by a burning of the diode and electric equipment.

The tension of alternator driving belt shall be adjusted properly, so as not to be over loose or over tight. The normal degree
of tightness shall be 50 N of force imposed on the belt center by the thumb, giving the belt about 10mm deflection.
Keep the ventilation hole of the alternator housing clean to avoid affecting the heat emission of the alternator stator. It is
strictly prohibited to contact armature with a screwdriver during the alternator rotation. The screw for fastening the alternator must be very secure and reliable, which shall not be loose or falling off, otherwise the alternator power will be affected
or alternator belt and bearing is worn prematurely, thus shortening the application life.
In the course of automobile driving, notice the signal situation of charging light all the time. If the charging light is found to
be On permanently, find out the cause timely to avoid damaging the alternator due to minor malfunction. After the engine
shuts off, close the ignition switch to prevent the battery from discharging to the excitation coil for a long time, thus damaging magnetic coil

Section 2 Battery
1. Structure of Lead Battery
The battery used for SMA car is a lead acid maintenance free storage battery of low maintenance frequency composed of
battery groove, cover, positive pole, negative pole, positive plate, negative plate, partition board, liquid filling plug and other
auxiliary components. Its terminal voltage is 12V, six 2V single batteries in serial. There are walls to separate the poles to
keep the independence of each single battery.
At present, battery for MR479Q/MR479QA engine is the maintenance free battery(dont need add distillated water
)produced by Shanghai Delphi International Battery Co., Ltd. If the battery is not used for a long time, detach it from the
automobile. When the specific gravity is below 1.24g/cm3 and battery terminal voltage is below 12.6V, charge the battery
immediately. Charge with 1/10 of the capacity for 35 hours and terminal voltage shall reach between 13V14V, otherwise, recharge it. Keep the battery fully charged and charge once a month during the storage period.

II. Normal Malfunction Elimination of Battery

1. Short circuit in the battery: the partition board of battery after long use will be subject to perforation. Excessive impurity
of the electrolyte will fill up the ventilation gap among the electrode plates, thus rendering the starter incapable. When
measuring the open circuit with multimeter, the voltage is extremely low. The relative density of the electrolyte is fairly low
when measuring the electrolyte with densimeter.
2. Open circuit in the battery. Perforating welding is adopted for the interior of the battery. Welding is carried out by passing
strong electricity through the perforating welding machine, thus in adverse environment, bumpy road or accidental vibration, weld peeling-off may
3. Electrode plates sulfuration: The extremely low level of yte causes electrode plate local oxidation or excessive density
and impurity of electrolyte, thus results in electrode sulfuration, which produces a white layer of lead sulphate crystal
particles. So, the pores of the electrode plate is clogged, prohibiting the electrolyte to penetrate the electrDDDde, making
the capacity ratio lowered sharply, which make it hard to solve the crystal particle during charging. Finally, the electrolyte
temperature will go up and charging performance will drop sharply. In case the above occurs, all electrolyte shall be
emptied. Fill the distilled water to the highest calibration line of the battery. Charge with 4.5A electricity. When the voltage
goes up to 15V or so, stop charging. After 10 minutes, charge with 2.25A electricity again until the battery voltage and
electrolyte density reaches equilibrium. Adjust the density of electrolyte until it reaches 1.280.0125C

4. Active substance falling off in large amount: Charging of high current will cause electrolysis of pure water, producing
vast amount of oxygen and hydrogen. When hydrogen rushes out from the pores of the negative plate, the active
substance will fall off in large amount. When electrolyte density increases and lead dioxide of the positive plate falls
off, brown substance of the electrolyte will go up to the surface of the electrolyte. Empty all the electrolyte when this
phenomenon occurs. Rinse the battery with distilled water for several times to removeimpurities, then refill electrolyte and
recharge the battery.

Section 3 Normal Malfunction of Charging System

and Troubleshooting
1. No charging completely
The alternator doesnt generate electricity: open circuit or short circuit occurs in rectifier diode, open circuit and short circuit
is found in the rotor winding and stator winding, leading to a bent rotor axle, excessively worn brush, dirty or worn sliding
ring, bearing damage, etc, all of which may disable the power generation of alternator.
Input voltage of the alternator is too low: when the output voltage of the alternator is below the terminal voltage of the
battery, the charging indication light is On permanently. The main causes include: the excitation electricity is too low, the
electromotive force of three phase alternator or output voltage of the rectifier is decreased and the alternator rotating speed
is low. During operation, if the output voltage of the alternator is too low, check belt of the alternator for looseness or
skidding. Check if there is diode damaged in the rectifier, check if contact between carbon brush and rotor slide ring is not
good, check if there is local short circuit in the excitation winding and three phase stator winding and check if the connector
of leading wire is loose. If the alternator works well, it indicates that the malfunction occurs in the voltage regulator. Check
it and replace it if necessary.

2. Low charging current

The insufficiency of generation volume and too small charge current causes a severe shortage of electricity in battery. This
phenomenon mainly originates from a malfunctioning voltage regulator. Malfunctions include an electricity regulation out of
order and failure to establish a working voltage due to the lack of adequate excitation electricity. The voltage of the regulator is regulated to an excessively low level, internal resistance increases or the large power triode malfunctions in switching
characteristic, thus impeding the formation of excitation current, not only lowering the output voltage of the alternator but
also heating the voltage regulator due to incrppppease of inner consumption.

Chapter 14 Starter

Starting system includes starter motor and its accessory parts. Its function is to rotate the static crankshaft by outside
force until the crankshaft has reached the speed required for cylinder combustion expansion so as to enable the engine
running by itself.

Section 1 Structure of Starter

Starter is used to convert electric energy into mechanic energy, rotating the crankshaft of engine and starting the engine.
Starter is the equipment for starting engine. Starter includes 3 parts

1. DC motor
? Armature: including armature spindle, iron core and commutator armature winding, etc.
? Electrical brush: connected with commutator and made by pressing bronze powder and graphite.

2. Control switch
It applies the magnetic switch, using the ignition switch to control the magnetic switch on the starter so as to switch on or
off the circuit and help the starting of engine.
Plunger cover

3. Driving Mechanism
The driving mechanism is composed of
overrunning clutch and pinion. When the starter
rotates and the magnetic switch is switched on,
the pinion will mesh with gear ring of fiywheel
under the force of over running clutch, thus

Section 2 Working Principle of Starter

When the ignition switch is switched on, the electric current is flowed into hold-in winding and suction winding of the
magnetic switch. The field of the two windings has created very strong magnetic force in the same direction, attracting the
contact plate to move by overcoming the rebounding force of spring, so that the drive lever fork plucks the over runningclutch to put the pinion and ring gear into the meshed state. When moved to a point that the battery and field circuit of
starter are connected, the armature starts to rotate, making the pinion rotate together with the flywheel gear ring that has
just entered the meshing state. The starter starts up the engine (see Fig 364).

7. Battery 8. Starter motor 9. Overrun clutch 10. Starter pinion 11. Shift lever fork for starter pinion

After the motor is ignited and run, if the switch is still in the start position, the ring gear will draw and drive the pinion to
rotate. Then under the effect of overrunning clutch, the starter pinion starts to skid around on motor shaft so as to prevent
the starter armature winding from high-speed rotation driven by the engine.
Loosen the ignition switch and keep the winding power off with magnetic force disappearing. Under the force of return
spring, magnetic switch main contactor breaks and shift lever fork returns causing the starter pinion to withdraw from its
meshing with flywheel gear. Armature stops rotating.

Section 3 Attentions in Use of Starter

Starter is the most frequently used device in auto and directly related to the life of auto. herefore, in order to guarantee the
servicing life of starter, attention should be paid to the following:
1. The starter has a larger amount of loading while starting, which increases working current. Therefore, it shall not exceed
2-3s in each operation. The max. time allowed for repeated starting attempts shall not exceed

1.5min and starting time interval each operation should be 30s.otherwise battery and starter will be easily damaged. In
case that the engine still cannot be started despite several attempts, it is necessary to check some of its circuits ,fuel supply
system and the ignition system. Restart the engine after the troubleshooting.
2. After the engine is started, timely release STA of ignition switch to reset drive pinion.
3. While starting the engine, you should depress the clutch pedal. Starting with gear engagement is forbidden.
4. If the starter is still running when STA of ignition switch is released after engine starting, you should timely switch off
circuit for checking.
5. The retaining bolts between starter and engine must be kept reliably secured. You should timely repair it if any loosening
or damages of bolts take place.
6. The positive pole live wire of battery must be firmly connected with the wires of starter. External guard must be well
installed to prevent fire caused by electric spark after grounding.
7. It is not allowed to do fire scratching experiment on the starter using screwdriver or other tools.

Section 4 Troubleshooting of Starter

1. Starter not rotate
(1) There is not enough power in battery and serious deficiency of electrolyte. You should refill the distilled water.
(2) There is loosening or oxidation between the positive power line of battery and wiring terminal. Clear away the pole
oxides and fasten the positive power wires to the terminals.
(3) Ignition switch open circuit. Replace ignition switch.
(4) Open circuit in the wires from ignition switch to pull-in winding of starters. Check or replace the wires.
(5) Magnetic switch of starter has burnt or poor contact. Check and replace the switch.

2. Powerless running of starters

(1) Excessively low voltage of battery: recharge in time.
(2) Seriously worn starter pinion of starter: replace pinion or starter assembly.
(3) Poor meshing between gear ring of engine and starter pinion of starter: check gear
teeth, and if seriously worn, replace gear ring or starter pinion.

3. Difference of magnetic switch failure and starter failure

When there is electric current going through the wires of the magnetic switch, a sound can be heard when starter pinion
and ring gear of flywheel are engaged, and the engine is started. If the starter does not run after the magnetic switch is
switched on, the trouble is at the starter. If no sound of knocking can be heard after the magnetic switch is switched on,
you need to check the magnetic switch.

Chapter 15 Engine Management System

Section 1 System Profile

Engine management system is normally divided into three parts, i.e. sensor, controller andactuator.
Sensor: converts physical parameters of the engine into electric signals (digital or analog), so as to monitor operating
status and environmental conditions of the engine, and transmits these signals to the controller.
Controller: receives and processes various information sent by the sensor, and analyzes information to get informed of
engine status. It utilizes preset control tactics and programs to determine how to control this engine under present conditions, finally converts this decision into instruction(s) and transmits it (them) to the actuator. The Controller contains a
microprocessor and stores programs or control software pre-compiled by the designer in its memory. The controller may
be considered as the brain of control system.
Actuator: receives various instructions sent by the controller, converts electric signal into action of actuating element
(action of electric element, or certain mechanical movement) through its design. Action of these elements will change
operating condition of the device, and determine operation and output of the engine.
A great deal of information runs through the entire control system. Engine management system understands operating
condition of the engine from sensor information, uses input information and self-stored information to decide control mode
and instructions, and transmits produced instruction information to the actuator to accomplish the entire control process.
the actuator to accomplish the entire control process.

1. Electronic control of engine fuel system

The core issue in electronic control of engine fuel system is the electronic control of fuel quantity, actually, electronic control
of excess air coefficient .
ECU controlsthrough control of fuel injection amount. When engine works, ECU gets airflow information from the sensor,
and determines fuel injection amount through some calculations,
thereby enables excess air coefficient of gas mixture to reach preset value. In the whole process, control instruction issued
by ECU is merely a control signal to activate fuel injector. In this fuel injection signal, ECU controls pulse width and moment
of signal.
Pulse width of fuel injection signal determines the amount of fuel injection. This pulse is a function of the following parameters, input and output including correction form closed loop control.
(1) Objective determined by ECU through calculation- air fuel ratio
(2) Airflow value.
(3) Other parameters concerning operating condition of the engine: e.g. information provided by throttle position sensor,
oxygen sensor, water, air, temperature sensor, Pressure temperature sensor etc.
(4) Flow characteristic of fuel injector.

II. Electronic control of engine ignition system

Ignition control of engine management system includes three aspects: ignition advance angle
control, knocking control and ignition energy control (conduction angle control).
Control of ignition advance angle is the fundamental function of ignition control. Ignition advance angle = fundamental
quantity of ignition advance angle + correction quantity.
Control of ignition advance angle is also related to operating conditions of the engine. Factors that subject to operating
conditions could be expressed by the correction factor..

Control mode of ignition advance angle is normally an open loop control. However, this open loop control is not the same
as common open loop control. While ECU controls in open loop mode and outputs command of ignition advance angle, it
also monitors knocking signal from time to time through the knocking sensor. Once knocking occurs, control will be
transferred into closed loop mode immediately. Its feedback signal is the signal of knocking sensor. Therefore it is also a
closed loop control on the whole.

Section 2 System Composition and Working Principle

ECU unit: electronic control unit to receive various information from sensors. After processing and analysis, it sends
control impulse to individual actuator, serving as nerve center in the electronic control system.
Hardware of electronic control unit (ECU) can be divided into three parts, i.e. input stage,
microcomputer and output stage (see Fig. 365).

Fig. 365 Hardware Composition of Electronic Control Unit

Microcomputer of ECU is an integration of microprocessor, memory, clock generator, timer, input/output (I/O) interface and
A/D converter in input stage in a large-scale integrated chip, i.e. single-chip microcomputer.

1. Input stage
Input stage of input signal from sensor performs preprocessing. Input signal is firstly sent to protective circuit, in some
cases through signal converter and amplifier, and then sent to microcomputer.
Signals of sensor are divided into switch quantity and analog quantity. Ignition on/off signal, camshaft position signal,
automobile speed signal and air conditioning signal etc are all switch quantities while signals of battery voltage, engine
temperature, intake temperature, air quantity, absolute pressure of intake manifold, throttle angle, excess air ratio, knocking and pressure of refrigerant in air conditioner are all analog quantities. All analog signals could be processed by the
following digital microcomputer only after they pass through A/D conversion and are converted into digital signals. Therefore, it firstly collects data of analog signals, samples and holds them at the same time.
Signals of revolution and crankshaft position reference mark from inductive sensor are processed in a special circuit to
suppress interfering impulses.

2. Microcomputer
Microcomputer of engine ECU is integrated into a single-chip, and consists of:
(1) Microprocessor. Also called Central Processing unit (CPU), it mainly consists of three parts:
a. Arithmetical logic unit
b. Register block
c. Controller
(2) System bus. Internal bus performs data transmission between individual parts in a single-chip microcomputer. External
bus performs data transmission between single-chip microcomputer and other parts. External bus is also called system
bus, which could be divided into data bus, address bus and control bus.
(3) Memory. The memory serves to store data in the form of binary code, and mainly consists of:
a. Memory
b. Data register
c. Address register and decoder
d. Memory controller
(1) A/D converter
(2) Input/output (I/O) interface
(3) Clock generator
(4) Timer
(5) Capture/compare (CAPCOM) unit
(6) Watchdog timer
(7) Interrupt system

3. Output stage
ECU output stage serves to send control signal to actuator in the electronic control system according to the command of
Pretttproctessor in the micfxxsssssocontroller. Control of microprocessor on output stage is carried out by means of
controlling the position of impulse, its length and duty ratio.
(1) Output stage of fuel injection
Microprocessor controls the width of impulse transmitted by the output stage of fuel injection

by controlling the on/off status of the circuit of fuel injection output stage.
(2) Output stage of ignition
Output stage of ignition serves to amplify ignition signal output from microprocessor into the primary current of ignition coil.
(3) Output stage of electric fuel pump
Microcontroller in the ECU controls pump relay through output stage of electric fuel pump according to operating conditions
at that time, and then controls on/off of electric fuel pump.
(4) Other output stages
Output stages to control idle speed control valve, solenoid valve of carbon canister and failure indicator etc. Idle speed
controls in both Model MR479Q/MR479QA and Model MR481QA/JL481Q belong to closed loop control system. Their fuel
injection and ignition controls also belong to closed control system.

cooperate with water temperature switch ,which controls cooling fan at low speed and high speed. For example, SMA car
series with M1.5.4 and Mybo car etc (3) ECU transmits two signals to control cooling fan at low speed and high speed
individually.For example, SMA car series with M7.9.7 and Mybo car etc
The mounted position of ECU is different. ECU of Geely series is mounted under dashboard. ECU of most SMAs car types
is mounted inside engine room.

and Service
1. Components and Sensors
1. Fuel injector (Fig. 366)
Before the fuel is injected to the cylinder inlet opening, the return
spring in the casing of the fuel injector presses the valve needle onto
the valve base and blocks the fuel injection port. At fuel injection,
control signal given by the electronic controller electrifies the
electromagnetic

coil, thus generating a magnetic field to overcome the pressure of the return spring. Gravity of the valve needle and friction
lift the valve needle, and fuel is injected under the fuel pressure. As long as the pressure difference between the inlet and
outlet ports of the fuel injector remains unchange, the fuel flow rate will remain unchanged, and the injection volume can
be determined through the power-on duration. The technical parameters are shown in Table 22.

2. Idle control solenoid valve (Fig. 367)

It provides idle speed bypass air passage, and realizes closed loop
speed control at idle speed of the engine by changing passage
sectional area to influence bypass air volume. Inside the idle speed
regulator is a permanent magnet that can rotate freely on the shaft,
which is rigidly connected to a rotary slide block. Under the drive of the
cable coil, the permanent magnet rotates to bring the slide block into
rotation. The angular position of the slid block determines the opening
of the bypass air passage of the actuator, so that the bypass volume
can be regulated. The electronic controller determines the angular
position of the slide block by changing the ratio of air occupation of the
pulse signal sent to the performer, thus determining bypass air flow
rate.It is characterized through low energy consumption, compact
structure, no sensitivity of dust and availability of safe return. Its
technical parameters are given in Table 23.

3.Stepper motor(for Euro III emission)

Stepper motor control the engine air intake in idle condition by changing throttle bypass section ,in order to carry out
closed-loop control of engine rotate speed in idle condition.

Stepper motor

Throttle bypass section

Fig.368

Stepper motor actually is a micro motor. The steel stator is a multiphase coil winding and the rotor is a permanent magnet.
When electrifying stator coil, the permanent magnetism stator will rotate towards corresponding direction on the impact of
the electromagnetic power. Since stator and helix shaft are screw thread contact, stators angular rotation will transform
into helix shafts rectilinear motion. While stator rotates a fixed angle, helix shaft will move some displacement, which is
o
one step whose step length is 15
ECU controls stepper motor move direction and steps by changing positive polaritynegative polarity and quantity of coil
power on phase, then changing engine throttle body bypass section area, so as to acquire the corresponding bypass air
flow at idle condition.
Attention for mounting
Idle actuator with stepper motor is mounted on the throttle body to form bypass channel on two sides of throttle. See

(4) Dont try to press or pull out shaft by any forces for axialSymptom of fault and judgment
(5) Symptom of fault: idle revolution is a bit high, idle flameout etc.
(6) Common cause of fault: The accumulation of dust and fuel gas leads to the block of bypass air channel, which leads
to abnormal stepper motor idle adjustment.
Maintenance precautions:
a. It is not allowed to apply any force at axial direction with the purpose of pressing into or pulling out the axle;
b. Before idle speed regulator with stepping motor is mounted into throttle body, its shaft must be at fully retractive position;
c. Pay attention to clean and maintain bypass air passage frequently;
d. After removing battery or ECU, pay attention to self-teach stepping motor in time.
Self-teach method of M7 system:turn on ignition switch but not start engine immediately, and start it after 5 seconds. If
engine idle speed is found bad at the moment, it is necessary to repeat the above steps.
Simple measuring method: (removing the joint) place digital universal meter at ohm gear, and connect 2 terminals respectively to Ad pin and BC pin of regulator, and rated resistance is 535.3 at 20C

4.Intake Pressure & Temperature sensor (Fig.

369)
The sensor works on the principle of sensor air bubble (namely
pressure measurement unit), generated through 100% thick film
technology. Being sealed in a ceramic base, it contains air of a
given volume and a reference pressure of about 20kPa. A
pressure-resistant thick film tension meter points to the air bubble
and protected with glass to avoid damage by hazardous medum.
The tension meter, with its high measurement sensitivity
(measurement factor approx. 12), linearity and no hysteresis,
converts mechanical tension into electrical signal under the
function of the pressure. A full-wave bridge circuit generates a
measurement signal
proportional to the force, which is magnified by a hybrid circuit on
the same base. Therefore, it is impossible that interference will be
sent to ECU and produce effect. After DC amplification and
individual temperature compensation (range: -40C-+125C), a

Beyond the range of +10C~ -80C, the permissible error
increases by multiples of error. For the protection of the sensor,
the input voltage, operating temperature and max. pressure
should not exceed the max. values. The technical parameters are
shown in Table 26.Intake air temperature sensor is a resistor with
negative temperature coefficient (NTC), resistance varies with
intake air temperature, and this sensor sends a voltage indicating
change of intake air temperature to controller.

The measuring element of the NTC (negative temperature coefficient) temperature sensor is a resistor
composed of a crystal mixture of metal oxide and
oxide, which is formed through sintering and compression after addition of medium. In the automotive
application, NTC resistance is enclosed in a protective
sleeve.
When the NTC resistor is exposed to an external heat,
its resistance willdrop sharply(transmit the voltage
signal to ECU by divided voltage circuit.(note: actual
signal is voltage signal, not current signal) The technical parameters are shown in Table 27.

6. Speed sensor (Fig. 371)

The soft magnetic core of the sensor surrounded by a coil is installed
opposite to a pulse toothed ring, leaving a narrow air gas between
them. The soft magnetic core is connected with a permanent magnet,
and the magnetic field extends up to the ferromagnetic pulse toothed
ring. When the tooth of the ring is just opposite to the sensor, the
magneticfield is concentrated to intensify the magnetic lines of the coil.
When the backlashes are opposite to each other, the magnetic field
weakens variation of the magnetic field. When thetoothed wing rotates
with the wheel, these two conditions alternate. Such changes of
magnetic lines will generate an induced AC voltage in the coil, with its
frequency depending on the speed. Refer to Table 28 for the technical
parameters of the speed sensor.

7. Ignition Coil
Structure of the ignition coil: The ignition system adopts a double ignition coil, and its form and circuit are shown in Fig.
372. and Fig. 373.
Operating principle of the ignition coil: The two ignition coils directly controlled by the computer generate a high voltage
alternatively. The secondary side of either ignition coil is connected to the spark plugs of the two cylinders, so that the spark
plugs of the two cylinders spark simultaneously each time. Of course, only one cylinder has an effective ignition, while the
other cylinder has an ineffective ignition in its exhaust stroke. In such a high voltage distribution method, despite of loss of
a certain ignition energy due to ineffective ignition, the structure of the ignition system is simplified through omission of the
distributor, and the reliability of ignition is enhanced. Refer to Table 29 for the technical parameters.

Fig. 374 Schematic Diagram of the Pressure Regulator

It has the function to keep constant the difference between the pressure of the assembly system of the fuel distribution and
the pressure in the inlet air pipe.
The pressure regulator is a diaphragm overflow valve. When the system pressure rises, and the fuel pressure in the fuel
inlet exceeds the resultant force of the pre-resilience of the spring and the air pressure in the spring chamber, the
diaphragm displaces to move away the valve/ball assembly on the diaphragm to return part of fuel in the fuel chamber to
the fuel tank, so that the fuel pressure of the system may keep constant. Refer to Table 30 for the technical parameters.

c) Hall effect sketch

Current Is flowing through a semi-conductor wafer , magnetic B generates Hall voltage UH, with a value proportional to
magnetic induction intensity B and current value Is (B, UH and Is are mutually vertical). Hall voltage is affected by variation
of magnetic induction intensity B. As a very small Hall voltage is generated, it must be amplified. If a silicon Hall effect
element is used, the signal regulating circuit can be directly integrated in the same chip. The output is through an opencollector type transformer, which performs a switching function: Hall sensor contains a permanent magnet, with its magnet
lines passing through magnetic conductors, air gap and Hall element.
When the electromagnetic signal blade disk driven by the exhaust cam draft of the engine rotates and passes through the
air gap, most of the magnetic lines are shifted from the Hall element via the blade, and the integrated Hall element is off,
and magnetic flow of the Hall sensor has dropped to zero. When the blade leaves the air gap, that is, it can not shift the
magnetic lines, the magnetic field can pass through the Hall element again, and generate Hall voltage, so that its condition
becomes on. The technical parameters of the phase sensor are shown in Table 31.

Throttle valve angular position sensor, a
potentiometer with a linear characteristic
curve, converts the opening angle of the
throttle into a voltage signal, namely, the
rotational angle of the throttle is proportional
to the voltage. The rotor of the sensor is
installed on the shaft of the throttle valve.
When the throttle valve turns, the wipe block
of the sensor potential moves along the track
for their matching, so that the angular position
of the throttle is converted into voltage UA
(Fig. 376). The technical parameters are
shown in Table 32.

11. Knock sensor (Fig. 377)

Due to inertia, in the case of an knocking, a mass
applies a compression on to the piezoelectric
ceramic unit to produce excitation. In the piezoelectric ceramic element, such force causes charges to
move in the ceramic, namely, a voltage is produced
between the top and bottom of the ceramic
element. This voltage, taken up through a contact
disk, is filtered and then sent to ECU as a signal for
judging if there is an knocking in the engine. The
technical parameters are shown in Table 33.

12. Carbon canister control valve

The carbon canister in the fuel evaporation emission control system (Fig. 259) absorbs the fuel vapor from the fuel tank till
saturation of fuel vapor. ECU control opening of the carbon canister control valve. Fresh air and saturated fuel vapor in the
carbon canister form regenerative gas flow, which is led again to the intake air pipe of the engine. In the valve there is an
solinoid coil. Depending on different working conditions of the engine, ECU changes the ratio of air occupation of the pulse
signal sent to the solinoid coil, thus changing the opening. Furthermore, valve opening is also influenced by

P, the differ-

ence of pressures at the two ends of the valve (Pu, Ps). The technical parameters are shown in Table 34.

14.Electric fuel pump (Fig. 381)

The electric fuel pump has the function to deliver fuel from the fuel tank to the
engine, and provide adequate fuel pressure and abundant fuel. The fuel
pump is a blade pump driven by a DC motor, and is placed in the fuel tank and
is immerged in fuel for heat dissipation and lubrication. The battery supplies
power to the fuel pump via the fuel pump relay, and the relay will only have the
pump circuit switched on at the start or during operation of the engine. Therefore, when the engine stops in an accident, the fuel pump will stop automatically. It is characterized through a small operating current and high efficiency.
In case of low battery voltage, it can maintain a good operational capability.
