2.4/2.5L Fuel Flow Component
Description
Pulse Fuel Pump
The pulse fuel pump operates through alternating crankcase pressure to
deliver fuel through the water-separating filter to the vapor separator.
Fuel pressure @ Idle – 2-3 psi (Minimum – 1 psi).
Fuel Pressure @ Wide-Open-Throttle – 6-8 psi (Minimum – 4 psi).
Water Separating Filter
The water separating filter protects the fuel injectors from water and debris.
The filter contains a sensor probe which monitors water level in the filter. If
water is above the sensor probe, the water detection light will come on and
the warning horn will begin a series of beeps.
Vapor Separator
The vapor separator is a fuel reservoir which continuously blends and
circulates fresh fuel, oil and unused fuel/oil from the fuel rail.
1) Fuel Inlet – Fresh fuel delivered from the water separator by the crankcase
mounted pulse fuel pump. The amount of fuel allowed to enter the vapor
separator is controlled by a needle/seat and float assembly mounted in the
cover of the vapor separator.
2) Oil Inlet – Oil delivered by the crankshaft driven oil pump.
3)
Crankcase Bleed Inlet – Recirculated (unburned) fuel/oil mixture delivered
from the bleed lines through a filter into the vapor separator.
4)
Fuel Pressure Regulator Inlet – Unused fuel/oil mixture being recirculated
from the fuel rail back into the vapor separator.
Bleed System
On carbureted engines, excess fuel which collects in the crankcase is
channeled into the transfer ports to be burned.
On EFI engines, excess crankcase fuel is directed through a filter (to eliminate
contaminates) and emptied into the vapor separator. It mixes with fresh
incoming fuel and is pumped to the fuel rail and fed through the injectors.
A 30 micron filter is installed in the bleed line to prevent contaminants from
entering the vapor separator. If the filter becomes clogged, the engine will load
up at idle and hesitate upon acceleration.
1989–1995 2.4L/2.5L
The bleed system flow is closed off to the vapor separator during off idle
speeds by the bleed shut off valve. The bleed shut off valve is activated by
throttle linkage on the manifold. At idle speeds the flow can be close to
1000cc’s of gasoline per hour.
