Fuel tank After passing through the delivery valve,
the fuel is introduced into the nozzles via

fuel is injected into the cylinders.
At the same time, the internal parts of
the pump are lubricated and cooled by
the fuel. A portion of the fuel returns to
the fuel tank from the over flow screw, in
order to control the increase of the fuel

2. Delivery
As the cam plate and plunger rotate, the suction port
of the distributive head is closed off and the distribu-
tion port of the plunger will be aligned with the distribu-
tion passage.
As the cam plate rides onto the rollers, the plunger
goes up (moves to the right) and compresses the fuel.
When the fuel pressure reaches the predetermined
value, the fuel is injected from the injection nozzle.
3. Termination
When the cam plate rotates further and the plunger
goes up (moves to the right), two spill ports of the
plunger are pushed out from end of the spill ring.
Then, the highly pressurized fuel is returned back to
the pump housing through the spill ports. As a result,
the fuel pressure drops suddenly and the fuel injection
is terminated.

VE Pump Mechanical Governor Description
It is necessary to control the fuel injec-
tion volume in accordance with the effort
that the accelerator pedal is depressed
and engine load as the output of the die-
sel engine is controlled by the fuel injec-
tion volume. Because the injection
volume is determined by the spill ring
position, it is necessary for the governor
to control the spill ring position so that
the engine can operate stably.
1. Control according to accelerator
depression
Depressed:
The fuel injection volume is
Spill ring increased. (The engine speed is
increased.)
Released:
The fuel injection volume is
decreased. (The engine speed is
decreased.)
2. Control with constant accelerator
position and fluctuating engine load
Load increases:
The fuel injection volume is
increased.
Load decreases:
The fuel injection volume is
decreased.
The governor also plays these roles:
Prevents the engine from overrun-
ning by controlling the maximum
engine speed, and prevents engine
stalling by stabilizing the engine
speed at low speeds.

TCV (Timing Control Valve)
The TCV renders the LST inactive if the
vehicle is operated with a cold engine
(coolant temperature below 60 °C (140
°F)) or at high altitudes (where the atmo-
spheric pressure is below 93 kPa (700
mmHg)). The purpose of providing a
TCV is to prevent misfiring. If the injec-
tion timing is allowed to keep advancing
at conditions where misfiring occurs
ECU TCV easily (cold engine or high altitude), mis-
Close
firing is prevented. Then, white smoke is
also prevented.
The emission control ECU determines
the conditions of the engine using sig-
nals from the water temperature sensor
and the atmospheric pressure sensor.
Then, the emission control ECU outputs
signals that cause the TCV to close the
fuel passage of the LST, thus rendering
the LST inactive.
• TCV on
Before the engine has warmed up
(coolant temperature below 60 °C
(140 °F)) or when the vehicle is
driven at high altitudes (where the
atmospheric pressure is below 93
kPa (700mmHg)), the emission con-
trol ECU outputs signals that cause
the TCV to turn on and close the fuel
passage. Therefore, even if the
accelerator pedal is released and the
engine load decreases, the LST
becomes inactivated and does not
retard the injection timing.

mal atmospheric pressure at all times.
Spill ring (2) High-altitude driving:
The atmospheric pressure, of the air which is intro-
duced into the constant pressure chamber, is lower at
high altitude. When the atmospheric pressure is low,
the bellows expand to make the vacuum passage
from the vacuum pump narrow. As a result, the vac-
uum pressure, which is applied to the constant pres-
sure chamber, decreases. Thus, the pressure inside
the constant pressure chamber stays the same at both
the low-altitude and high-altitude driving.
The HAC functions to maintain the pressure in the
constant pressure chamber by moving the push rod in
accordance with the change in atmospheric pressure
on the top part of the diaphragm.
