EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
ENOM01000-0
Emission Sources
Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and
hydrocarbons are produced in the course
of the combustion process. Controlling
production of oxides of nitrogen and
hydrocarbons is very important because
they react to form a photochemical smog
under certain conditions when subjected
to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not
react in the same way, but is a toxic
byproduct.
ENOM01001-0
Ignition Timing Control System
To reduce the amount of HC, CO and NOx
produced, the ignition timing control sys-
tem continuously adjusts the ignition tim-

Tampering and Modifications
Tampering is a violation of the Federal
Laws of the United States and California.
Tampering with or altering the emission

increase beyond legal limits. The following
acts, although not all inclusive, are consid-
ered as tampering:
Removing or modifying any part of the
intake, fuel or exhaust system.
Modifications that cause the engine to
