FUEL SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Marea and Marea Weekend 1.9 JTD cars are equipped with a 4 cylinder in line, 1910 cc turbodiesel en­
gine with two valves per cylinder, an overhead camshaft, turbocharger and intercooler and electronic in­
jection.
The fuel system ensures correct engine operation and can be divided into the following subsystems:
- Fuel feed circuit with common rail injection;
- air feed circuit;
- exhaust circuit;
- blow by vapour recirculation circuit;
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circuit
Operation of the various circuits making up the fuel system is optimised by an electronic control system
managed by a special control unit.
The main feature of the fuel system is common rail fuel injection. Common rail is a higher pressure elec­
tronic injection system for fast direct injection diesel engines.
The main features of the common rail system are as follows:
- availability of high injection pressures (up to 1350 bars);
- possibility of modulating these pressures (from a minimum of 150 bars to a maximum of 1350 bars)
independently of engine speed (rpm) and engine load;
- ability to operate at high engine speeds (up to 6000 rpm);
- precise injection control (injection advance and duration);
- reduced fuel consumption;
- reduced emissions.
FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
The management program (software) is stored inside the control unit memory and consists of a series of
strategies, each of which manages a precise system control function.
Through the use of information providd by the various sensors (input), each strategy processes a set of
parameters based on data stored in special control unit memory areas. It then controls system actuators
(output), i.e. the devices that allow the engine to operate.
The main purpose of these management strategies is to determine the exact amount of fuel to be injected
into the cylinders with timing (injection advance) and pressure designed to achieve the best possible en­
gine performance in terms of power, fuel consumption, fumes, emissions and handling.
The main system management strategies are essentially as follows:

Control of injected fuel quantity
The control unit controls the fuel pressure regulator and injectors on the basis of output signals from the
accelerator pedal potentiometer, flow meter and rpm sensor.
The timing and thus the injection sequence are determined when the engine is started up using signals
from the rpm and timing sensor (synchronisation stage); injection timing is then implemented using the
rpm sensor signal alone and considering a injection sequence of 1 -3-4-2.
The control unit inhibits injection in the following cases:
- fuel pressure level greater than 1500 bars;
- fuel pressure level lower than 120 bars;
- engine speed higher than 6000 rpm.
When the engine has warmed up, maximum injection duration (injector opening time) is 1500 ns, but it
can reach 3000 ns during the start-up stage.
Control of injection advance
The electronic control unit determines injection advance mainly on the basis of the quantity of fuel to be
injected.
The injection advance is then corrected on the basis of coolant temperature and speed in order to com­
pensate for ignition delays due to low temperatures in the combustion chamber during warm-up.
The optimum injection point is also processed to ensure driving comfort and emission limits laid down by
Euro 3 legislation.
Control of injection pressure
This control is of particular importance because injection pressure influences the following parameters:
- amount of fuel taken into the cylinders for the same injection time duration;
- injected fuel nebulation;
- spray penetration;
- lag between electrical control to injection and actual injection start and end times.
The above parameters engine behaviour significantly, particularly in terms of power output, exhaust emis­
sions, noise levels and handling.
The injection control unit controls the pressure governor on the basis of engine load to obtain an optimal
line pressure at all times.
When the engine is cold, injection pressure is corrected on the basis of engine speed and engine coolant
temperature to meet engine needs at different operating temperatures.
Control of auxiliary fuel pump
The auxiliary fuel pump submerged in the tank is supplied by the injection control unit by means of a relay
when the ignition key is turned on.
Fuel supply to the pump is inhibited when one of the following condition occurs:
- when the ignition has been turned on for a certain length of time without the engine running;
- if the inertia switch cuts in.
Control of injection during over-run (cut-off)
The fuel cut-off strategy is implemented when the injection control unit receives information that the ac­
celerator pedal has been released from the potentiometer.
Under these conditions, the control unit cuts off the fuel supply to the injectors and restores it before idle
speed is reached.

Exhaust fumes control
Through this function the injection control unit limits any exhaust fumes that could be produced during
transition speeds.
To satisy these requirements the control unit processes the signals supplied by the accelerator pedal po­
tentiometer, the rpm sensor and the air flow meter and controls the fuel pressure regulator and the injec­
tors to meter the correct amount of fuel to inject.
Exhaust gas recirculation control
On the basis of the signals supplied by the rpm sensor, intake air quantity sensor, engine coolant tempe­
rature sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor, the control unit calculates the operating times for the
EGR valve so that the exhaust gases are partly recirculated in certain engine operating conditions in line
with Euro 3 pollution control standards.
Air conditioning system engagement control
The injection control unit manages the operation of the air conditioning system compressor electro­
magnet coupling following a logic aimed at preventing operating conditions that would adversely affect
engine performance.
- When the compressor is switched on the injection control unit increases the quantity of fuel during
idling to allow the engine to adjust to the increased power requirements and momentarily interrupts the
supply to the compressor in high engine power requirement conditions (strong acceleration).
Engine immobilizer function control
The system is equipped with an engine immobilizer function. This function is achieved through the pre­
sence of a specific control unit (Fiat CODE), capable of conversing with the injection control unit and an
electronic key with a special transmitter for sending a recognition code.
Each time the key is turned to the OFF position, the Fiat CODE system completely deactivates the injecti­
on control unit.
When the key is turned to the ON position the following operations take place, in order:
1. the injection control unit (whose memory contains a secret code) sends the Fiat CODE control unit a
request to send the secret code to deactivate the immobilizer functions;
2. the Fiat CODE control unit responds by only sending the secret code after, in turn, having received the
recognition code transmitted by the ignition key;
3. the recognition of the secret code allows the deactivation of the injection control unit immobilizer func­
tion and its normal operation.
Autodiagnosis
The complete electronic fault diagnosis of the injection system is carried out by connecting the special
equipment (EXAMINER or EXAMINER PLUS) to the standardized diagnostic socket (EOBD).
The system is also equipped with a self-diagnostic function which recognizes, memorizes and signals any
faults.
If a fault is detected in the sensors or actuators, the recovery strategy is immediately activated in order to
ensure that the engine functions at an acceptable level. The vehicle can be driven to a service centre for
the appropriate repairs to be carried out.

ELECTRONIC INJECTION CONTROL UNIT
The control unit processes signals from the various sensors by applying software algorithms and controls
the actuators accordingly (particularly the injectors and pressure regulator) to achieve the best possible
engine service conditions.
The control unit is "flash E.P.R.O.M." type, i.e. it can be reprogrammed from outside without andy need
to adjust the hardware.
The injection control unit contains a built-in absolute pressure sensor and is connected to the wiring by
means of a 121 pin connector.

TIMING SENSOR
The Hall effect sensor is fitted to the cylinder head and faces the camshaft pulley.
An opening on the pulley allows the timing sensor to detect the engine timing position and indicate it to
the injection control unit.
The injection control unit uses the timing sensor signal to detect TDC at the end of compression.
Operation
A semi-condulator layer, through which a current passes, immersed in a magnetic field (lines of force per­
pendicular to the direction of the current), produces a difference in power, known as Hall voltage.
If the intensity of the current remains constant, the voltage produced only depends on the intensity of the
magnetic field. The intensity of the field can simply be altered periodically to produce a modulated electri­
cal signal. Signal frequency is proportional to the speed with which the magnetic field changes.
To achieve this change, the sensor is crossed by a metal ring (inner part of the pulley) with an opening.
When it moves, the metal part of the ring covers the sensor to magnetic field and the output signal is
therefore low; Conversely, the sensor generates a high signal at the opening when the magnetic field is
present.
This signal, together with the rpm and TDC signals, allows the injection control unit to identify piston po­
sition and determine injection point.
AIR FLOW METER
(DEBIMETER)
The debimeter is located on the air intake
sleeve and is hot film type.
The debimeter contains an intake air tem­
perature sensor.
Operation
The principle of operation is based on a
heated membrane fitted into a measurement
channel through which engine intake air
flows.
The hot film membrane is maintained at a
constant temperature (about 120 °C higher
than incoming air) by the heater coil.
The mass of air flowing through the measure­
ment channel tends to take heat from the
membrane. To keep the membrane at constant
temperature, a certain current level must flow
through the resistance.
Because this current is proportional to the
mass of air that flows to the engine, it can be
measured with a Wheatstone bridge and the
resulting signal is sent to the injection control
unit.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The sensor is fitted to the thermostat and
measures the temperature of the engine cool­
ant by means of an NTC thermistor with a
negative resistance coefficient.
Because the sensor is made using semicon­
ductor technology, the resistance falls if sen­
sor element temperature rises with increasing
coolant temperature.
Because resistance does not change in linear
manner, it is higher at low temperatures than
at high temperatures for the same temperature
increase.

FUEL TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The sensor is fitted on the return manifold and
measures fuel temperature by means of an
NTC thermistor with a negative resistance co­
efficient.
Refer to the previous description of the cool­
ant temperature sensor for sensor operation.
FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor is fitted in the middle of the fuel
delivery manifold (rail) and is responsible for
providing a return signal (feedback) to the
control unit in order to:
- adjust injection pressure;
- regulator injection duration.
