The exhaust emissions controls
include four systems: PGM-FI,
ignition timing control, exhaust gas
recirculation, and three way
catalytic converter. These four
systems work together to control  
the engine’s combustion and  
minimize the amount of HC, CO,
and NOx that come out the tailpipe.
The exhaust emissions control  
systems are separate from the
crankcase and evaporative
emissions control systems.

The emissions control systems are
designed and certified to work
together in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions
remain low, you should use only new
Acura replacement parts or their
equivalent for repairs. Using lower
quality parts may increase the
emissions from your vehicle.

The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate
from the rest of your vehicle.
Read your warranty manual for
more information.

The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport fuel injection. It has three
subsystems: air intake, engine
control, and fuel control. The
powertrain control module (PCM) in
automatic transmission vehicles or
the engine control module (ECM) in
manual transmission vehicles uses
various sensors to determine how
much air is going into the engine. It

then controls how much fuel to inject
under all operating conditions.

The three way catalytic converter is
in the exhaust system. Through
chemical reactions, it converts HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust
to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen
(N ), and water vapor.

The exhaust gas recirculation  
(EGR) system takes some of the
exhaust gas and routes it back
into the intake manifold. Adding  
exhaust gas to the air/fuel mixture
reduces the amount of NOx
produced when the fuel is burned.

This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
