This document is a scan of the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label from a Ford truck, photographed under the hood. Issued by Ford Motor Company under the heading 'IMPORTANT VEHICLE INFORMATION,' it states the vehicle is equipped with electronic engine control systems, so engine idle speed, idle mixture, and ignition timing are not adjustable, referring readers to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual. It specifies use of SAE 10W-30 American Petroleum Institute certified oils for gasoline engines and certifies the vehicle conforms to U.S. EPA regulations for 1996 model year new light-duty trucks. The label carries part number F6AE-9C485-PUK, is marked 'Catalyst,' and lists the spark plug as ASF-42P with a gap of .052-.056 for the 5.0L engine (calibration TFM1045AYMBB; emissions equipment string TFM5.088GBJK-TWC,OC / AIR / 2HO2S(1) / EGR / SFI). The right half of the label contains a color-coded vacuum hose routing diagram showing connections between the air diverter/air bypass valve, FPRC, carbon canister, manifold vacuum, EGR valve and solenoid, throttle body, AIR B and AIR D solenoids, vacuum reservoir (VRESER), VMV, A/C system, and fuel tank(s), oriented to the front of the vehicle. A reader can learn correct spark plug specs, oil grade, emissions certification, and factory vacuum line routing.
