PRECAUTIONS WHEN CARRYING OUT WORK ON THE CAR
1. Battery :
a) Disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive one.
b) Ensure the battery is properly connected, with the negative terminal being connected
to earth.
c) Carefully connect both leads to the battery terminals, the negative lead being connected
last.
Before connecting the negative lead ensure that there is no flow of current. This can
be established by briefly touching the negative terminal pith the lead end : sparks
indicate a short circuit which must be corrected first.
d) Before using the starter ensure that the two leads are correctly tightened on their
respective terminals. $ 2. Alt ernator-Regulator :
a) Do not rotate the alternator unless it is connected to the battery.

2
2 b) Before connecting the alternator ensure that the battery is correctly connected
2 (negative terminal to earth ).
c) Do not check the operation of the alternator by short-circuiting either the positive or
the u EXC )) terminals and the earth terminal.
d) Take care not to reverse the leads connected to the regulator.
e) Do not attempt to re-energize the alternator : this is never necessary and in any case
would damage both the alternator and the regulator.
f ) Do not connect a suppressor capacitor at the u EXC )) terminal of the alternator or the
regulator.
g) Do not connect a charging unit to the battery and never carry out arc welding ( or spot
welding) on the car chassis unless both the positive and the negative leads are
disconnected from the battery. 3. Ignition coil :
4. Q.I. Headlamps :
a) Connect the supply lead of the coil to the external ballast resistor terminal and not to
the coil itself.
b) Connect the suppressor with a jump lead to the feed terminal of the coil. Only fit the
suppressor recommended by the factory.
a) Only replace a Q.I. bulb with the headlamps switched off. After having used the head-
lamps, it is wise to let them cool down for five minutes before handling.
b) Do not touch a Q.I. bulb with bare fingers. Any fingerprints on the bulb must be cleaned
off with soapy water and the bulb dried with a lint-free cloth.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 10 OPERATION No MA.IE. 144-00 : Characteristics o/ the K L=Jetronic )) electronic
/uel iujectian system. AIR-FLOW SENSOR ( 1) :
The role of the air-flow sensor is to supply the E.C.U. with a signal proportional in voltage to the quantity of air
drawn in.
With the engine running, the sensor flap is maintained at an angular position determined by the intensity of the-air- ,
flow, against the resistive action of a spiral spring. The resistance to deflection of the sensor flap, produced by the
spiral spring, is calculated so as to compensate for any mechanical friction ( bearings, bushes ) and to limit the
pressure drop at the flap.
The movement of the sensor flap is damped by a blade rigidly attached to it. This damping blade rotates inside a
housing in which it is a close fit. The operating clearance determines the degree of damping. The use of a damping
blade cancels the effects on the angular position of the sensor flap of pressure variation’s in the inlet collector.
A potentiometer, actuated by the sensor flap spindle, transforms movement of the sensor flap into an electrical circuit which is transtiitted to the E.C.U.. The voltage of the electrical ‘current is inversely proportional to the
amount of air drawn-in.
In order to cancel the effects of any combustion taking place in the inlet manifold, a one-way valve is incorporated in the sensor flap.
Thanks to a by-pass channel, a small quantity of the air drawn ,in by-passes the sensor flap. This offers the possibility
of determining the air/lfuel mixture at idling speed by’varying the diameter of the by-pass channel, since the air going
through the by-pass is not measured. The switch for the pump ( engine running ) and the air temperature sensor are
located in the air-flow sensor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine INJECTORS ( i ) :
Each cylinder is supplied by an electro-magnetically controlled injector which is fitted in the inlet duct;
the injector vaporises the fuel upstream of the inlet valve. In the case of the (( L-Jetronic )) system. all the
injectors operate simultaneously. However, in order to ensure regular fuel supply to the cylinders, there are
two injections for each rotation of the camshaft, each one supplying half the metered quantity of fuel required I
for the complete engine cycle.
The injector consists of a valve housing and an injector needle fitted with a magnetic core. The mobile magnetic
/
core is in one piece with the needle which in turn is compressed against the air-tight injector housing seat by
a helicoidal spring. At the rear end of the injector, there is a solenoid. and at the front a guide for the injector
needle.
Impulses coming from the E.C.U. create a magnetic.field in the solenoid; the magnetic core is attracted, and the
needle lifts off its seat the fuel under pressure is free to pass through, The movement of the magnetic core is
approximately 0.15 mm.
The duration of opening is determined by the E.C.U. as a function of the operating conditions of the engine at the
moment in question{. TEMPERATURE SENSORS t(
When the engine is started, for a temperature of approximately - 20” C, it needs two to three times more fuel than
when it has reached normal operating temperature. The enrichment of the mixture must be reduced as the engine
warms up, and must cease as soon as the engine has reached normal operating temperature. In’order to start off
this regulating procedure, the engine temperature must be communicated to the E.C.U. ( Electronic Control Unit ).
This is the object .of the temperature sensors.
The temperature sensor consists of a hollow threaded rod in which is located an NTC Thermistor made in semi-
conducting material. The letters .NTC, which signify (( negative temperature coefficient )) characterise its specific
property : its electrical resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
The (( L-Jetronic 1) system is fitted with.a water temperature sensor ( 2) and an air temperature sensor, the latter
situated in the air-flow sensor.
