Fuel System

Fuel System

The fuel system consists of:

- a 1-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS) with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MFI).
- a standard fuel tank.
- a Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor incorporated in the fuel vapor tube assembly (part of the fuel tank assembly).
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- an electric FP, which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
- a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the FP module.
- a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off.
- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.
- a lifetime fuel filter (serviced as part of the FP module).

- a fuel rail.
- an electronic FP module which is enabled by the PCM to control fuel rail pressure.
- separately controlled fuel injectors for each cylinder. The fuel injectors are mounted to the intake manifold and supplied with pressurized fuel from the FP module to the fuel rail.
- fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by retaining clips.
- a one-fourth turn vented type fuel tank filler cap.
- a fuel tank filler pipe which:
- has a recirculation tube.
- has a fresh air hose.
- has a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the tank.
- cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe.

- an IFS switch located behind the RF lower cowl trim panel.


Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature

The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP module is provided through the IFS switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision. The IFS switch is a safety device, located under the RF lower cowl trim panel. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the IFS switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position.
