Automatic Transaxle

Pressure Regulator Control System:






PURPOSE
Temporarily raise fuel pressure to prevent vapor lock (fuel percolation) and improve idle quality during hot restart.

LOCATION
PRC solenoid is on right side of intake manifold.

OPERATION
When PCME detects hot start conditions (see image), it cuts vacuum to fuel pressure regulator through control of the PRC solenoid, increasing fuel pressure.
