Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Fuel System Operation

This vehicles primary fuel source is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The AF ECM will only allow gasoline operation if one of the following conditions is present:
^ The CNG fuel tanks are empty as determined by the fuel tank pressure sensor.
^ The engine cranks for about 8 seconds and fails to start.
^ A system fault is detected by the AF ECM.
^ Every 100th start the AF ECM will allow the engine to start and run on gasoline. The AF ECM will switch-over to CNG operation during the first decel condition that occurs after a pre-determined amount of time has passed.
