Emission Control Systems: Description and Operation

1994 Acura Integra (GS-R) L4-1797cc 1.8L DOHC (VTEC)SECTION Description and Operation

The emission control systems are used to reduce harmful gases (Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)) in accordance with federal and state regulations.

The Three Way Catalytic Converter converts HC, CO, and NOx into Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water Vapor (H2O), and Nitrogen (N2).

The Evaporative Emissions System prevents HC vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.

The Fillpipe Restrictor prevents leaded fuel from contaminating the Three Way Catalytic Converter.

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation helps in the reduction of HC and CO.
