Emissions Control Devices

  • OBDII - On-board Diagnostic System (codes can be read/erased by a variety of readers, e.g. Template:Proper name). Nissan Pulsar N16 Models without EuroOBD in Australia do not have OBDII.
  • EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation
  • HO2S - (4) Oxygen Sensors (2 before exhaust catalyst, 2 after) - note a series 2 1.8l has only 2 O2 sensors: 1 pre-catalytic-converter and 1 downstream from it.
  • TWC - Three Way Catalyst (2 in exhaust manifold, 1 under car).
  • EVAP - Charcoal Evaporative Purge Canister.
  • Ignition Timing: 9 degrees BTDC (can be altered +/- 2 degrees using CONSULT-II handheld diagnostic tester, e.g. Template:Proper name).
  • Knock Sensor - located on engine block; retards timing if pinging/detonation is detected.
  • Heated Throttle Body - heated by engine coolant.

The QG18DE is used in the following vehicles:
