GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
All engines used in this section have a sequential
Multi-Port Electronic Fuel Injection system. The MPI
system is computer regulated and provides precise
air/fuel ratios for all driving conditions. The Power-
train Control Module (PCM) operates the fuel injec-
tion system.
The PCM regulates:
²Ignition timing
²Air/fuel ratio
²Emission control devices
²Cooling fan
²Charging system
²Idle speed
²Vehicle speed control
Various sensors provide the inputs necessary for
the PCM to correctly operate these systems. In addi-
tion to the sensors, various switches also provide
inputs to the PCM.
All inputs to the PCM are converted into signals.
The PCM can adapt its programming to meet chang-
ing operating conditions.
Fuel is injected into the intake port above the
intake valve in precise metered amounts through
electrically operated injectors. The PCM fires the
injectors in a specific sequence. Under most operat-
ing conditions, the PCM maintains an air fuel ratio
of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel by constantly adjust-
ing injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time the injector is open.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width by opening
and closing the ground path to the injector. Engine
RPM (speed) and manifold absolute pressure (air
density) are the primary inputs that determine injec-
tor pulse width.
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the PCM change, the PCM
adjusts its response to output devices. For example,
the PCM must calculate a different injector pulse
width and ignition timing for idle than it does for
Wide Open Throttle (WOT). There are several differ-
ent modes of operation that determine how the PCM
responds to the various input signals.
There are two different areas of operation, OPEN
LOOP and CLOSED LOOP.
During OPEN LOOP modes the PCM receives
input signals and responds according to preset PCMprogramming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensor is
not monitored during OPEN LOOP modes.
During CLOSED LOOP modes the PCM does mon-
itor the O2S sensor input. This input indicates to the
PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse
width results in the ideal air/fuel ratio of 14.7 parts
air to 1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen
content through the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine
tune the injector pulse width. Fine tuning injector
pulse width allows the PCM to achieve optimum fuel
economy combined with low emissions.
The multi-port fuel injection system has the follow-
ing modes of operation:
²Ignition switch ON (zero RPM)
²Engine start-up
²Engine warm-up
²Cruise (Idle)
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide Open Throttle
²Ignition switch OFF
The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, and
wide open throttle modes are OPEN LOOP modes.
Under most operating conditions, the acceleration,
deceleration, and cruise modes,with the engine at
operating temperatureare CLOSED LOOP modes.
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE
When the multi-port fuel injection system is acti-
vated by the ignition switch, the following actions
occur:
²The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
²The PCM monitors the coolant temperature sen-
sor and throttle position sensor input. The PCM mod-
ifies fuel strategy based on this input.
When the key is in the ON position and the engine
is not running (zero rpm), the Automatic Shutdown
(ASD) relay and fuel pump relay are not energized.
Therefore battery voltage is not supplied to the fuel
pump, ignition coil, fuel injectors or oxygen sensor
heating element.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. The following
actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
If the PCM receives the camshaft position sensor
and crankshaft position sensor signals, it energizes
the ASD relay and fuel pump relay. These relays sup-
ply battery voltage to the fuel pump, fuel injectors,
14 - 30 FUEL SYSTEMNS
SPECIFICATIONS (Continued)

ignition coil, and oxygen sensor heating element. If
the PCM does not receive the camshaft position sen-
sor and crankshaft position sensor signals within
approximately one second, it de-energizes the ASD
relay and fuel pump relay.
The PCM energizes all injectors until it determines
crankshaft position from the camshaft position sen-
sor and crankshaft position sensor signals. The PCM
determines crankshaft position within 1 engine revo-
lution.
After determining crankshaft position, the PCM
begins energizing the injectors in sequence. The PCM
adjusts injector pulse width and controls injector syn-
chronization by turning the individual ground paths
to the injectors On and Off.
When the engine idles within664 RPM of its tar-
get RPM, the PCM compares current MAP sensor
value with the atmospheric pressure value received
during the Ignition Switch On (zero RPM) mode. If
the PCM does not detect a minimum difference
between the two values, it sets a MAP diagnostic
trouble code into memory.
Once the ASD and fuel pump relays have been
energized, the PCM:
²Determines injector pulse width based on engine
coolant temperature, MAP and the number of engine
revolutions since cranking was initiated.
²Monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor,
camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor,
MAP sensor, and throttle position sensor to deter-
mine correct ignition timing.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is a OPEN LOOP mode. The following inputs
are received by the PCM:
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure
²Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Throttle position
²A/C switch
²Battery voltage
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing and engine idle
speed. Engine idle speed is adjusted through the idle
air control motor.
CRUISE OR IDLE MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recog-
nizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output
and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector
pulse width in response to increased fuel demand.
When the engine is at operating temperature this
is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During cruising speed the
following inputs are received by the PCM:²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure
²Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Throttle position
²Exhaust gas oxygen content
²A/C control positions
²Battery voltage
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off.
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed and ignition
timing. The PCM adjusts the air/fuel ratio according
to the oxygen content in the exhaust gas.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recog-
nizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output
and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector
pulse width in response to increased fuel demand.
DECELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During decelera-
tion the following inputs are received by the PCM:
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure
²Engine speed
²Throttle position
²Exhaust gas oxygen content
²A/C control positions
²Battery voltage
The PCM may receive a closed throttle input from
the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) when it senses an
abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This indicates
a hard deceleration. The PCM may reduce injector
pulse width or the number of injectors firing per
engine revolution. This helps maintain better control
of the air/fuel mixture (as sensed through the O2S
sensor).
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. During WOT oper-
ation, the following inputs are received by the PCM:
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure
²Engine speed
²Throttle position
When the PCM senses WOT condition through the
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) it will:
²De-energize the air conditioning relay. This dis-
ables the air conditioning system.
The exhaust gas oxygen content input is not
accepted by the PCM during WOT operation. The
PCM will adjust injector pulse width to supply a pre-
determined amount of additional fuel.
