GENERAL

This

covers
fuel

system
component

testing
and
repair
.
Special
equipment
is
necessary
for
some

of
the
procedures
given
in
this
repair
group
.
If
you
do
not
have

the
equipment
required
to
do
the
job,
it
is
recommended
that

these
repairs
be
left
to
an
authorized
BMW
dealer
.
The
BMW

dealer
is
equipped
with
sophisticated
diagnostic
test
equip-

ment
that
is
capable
of
quicklypinpointing
hard-to-find
fuel
in-

jection
problems
.

NOTE-

for
the

There

Each

the

is
that

use

The
fuel

system
is
completely
electronic
in
opera-

tion
.
Air
flow
is
measured
electronically
via
a
mass
air
flow

sensor
and
additional
sensors
supply
information
about
en-

gine
operating
conditions
.
The
ECM
calculates
the
amount
of
fuel
needed
for
the
correct
air-fuel
ratio
and
actuates
the
fuel

injectors
accordingly
.
The
amount
offuel
metered
to
theen-

gine
is
determined
by
how
long
the
injectors
are
open
.

through
a

.
Intake
air
volume
or
mass

is
then
measured
bya
mass

.
In
al¡
ex-

cept
the

a
reference
current
is

used
to
heat
a
thin
wireor
film
in
the
sensor
when
the
engine

is
running
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the

is
electroni-

converted
into
a

measurement
corresponding
to

the

of
