FUEL SUPPLY/IGNITION
Integrated electronic injection and ig-
nition system: a single electronic con-
trol unit controls both functions. It
processes both the time the injection
lasts (for fuel metering) and the igni-
tion’s advance angle.
Type: Sequential in phase Multipoint
Air cleaner: dry-type with paper fil-
ter element; thermostatically con-
trolled intake.
Petrol pump: in-tank.
Injection pressure: 3 bar
Method of measuring the amount of
aspirated air by directly measuring the
maximum rate of flow with a hot wire
air flow meter.
“Closed loop” petrol metering (in-
formation about combustion provid-
ed by the Lambda sensor).Firing order: 1-3-4-2
Spark plugs:
– Champion RC10YCC
– NGK BKR6EZLUBRICATION
Forced-fed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification by means of full-flow-
cartridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
“Controlled” by-pass type thermo-
stat on the secondary circuit for the
recirculation of water from the engine
to the radiator.
Electric fan for radiator cooling with
thermostatically-controlled on/off
switch on the radiator.
Modifications or repairs to
the fuel feed system that
are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions with the risk of
fire.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values, ex-
pressed in litres x 100 km, shown in
the following tables, were defined on
the basis of type-approval tests spec-
ified by European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycleconsisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– an extra-urban cycleconsisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
–the combined consumption is
calculated as approximately 37% of the
urban cycle and approximately 63% of
the extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANTRoad and traffic
conditions, weather, driving style, fit-
tings and accessories, load, special de-
vices and overall car conditions can
penalise aerodynamic penetration and
influence fuel consumption rates which
can be different from the values shown
in the table (see “Cheap running that
respects the environment” in “Driving
your car” chapter).
