General information
2.0 litre SOHC models
The fuel injection system fitted to these
models is of the Bosch L-Jetronic type. The
system is under the overall control of an EEC
IV engine management system which also
controls the ignition timing.
Fuel is supplied from the rear-mounted fuel
tank by an electric fuel pump mounted next to
the tank, via a pressure regulator, to the fuel
rail. The fuel rail acts as a reservoir for the four
fuel injectors, which inject fuel into the cylinder
inlet tracts, upstream of the inlet valves. The
fuel injectors receive an electrical pulse once
per crankshaft revolution, which operates all
four injectors simultaneously. The duration of
the electrical pulse determines the quantity of
fuel injected, and pulse duration is computed
by the EEC IV module on the basis of
information received from the various sensors.
Inducted air passes from the air cleaner
through a vane type airflow meter before
passing to the cylinder inlet tracts via the
throttle valve. A flap in the vane airflow meter
is deflected in proportion to the airflow; this
deflection is converted into an electrical signal
and passed to the EEC IV module. An
adjustable air bypass channel provides the
means of idle mixture adjustment.
A throttle position sensor enables the EEC IV
module to compute not only throttle position,
but also its rate of change. Extra fuel can thus
be provided for acceleration when the throttle
is opened suddenly. Information from the
throttle position sensor is also used to cut off
fuel on the overrun, thus improving fueleconomy and reducing exhaust gas emissions.
Idle speed is controlled by a variable orifice
solenoid valve which regulates the amount of
air bypassing the throttle valve. The valve is
controlled by the EEC IV module; there is no
provision for adjustment of the idle speed.
Additional sensors inform the EEC IV
module of engine coolant and air temperature.
On models fitted with automatic transmission,
a sensor registers the change from “P” or “N”
to a drive position, and causes the idle speed
to be adjusted accordingly to compensate for
the additional load. Similarly on models fitted
with air conditioning, a sensor registers when
the compressor clutch is in operation.
A “limited operation strategy” (LOS) means
that the vehicle is still driveable, albeit at
reduced power and efficiency, in the event of
a failure in the EEC IV module or its sensors.
A fuel filter is incorporated in the fuel supply
line to ensure that the fuel supplied to the
injectors is clean.
On models produced from mid-1986
onwards, a fuel pump inertia cut-off switch is
fitted. This switch breaks the electrical circuit
to the fuel pump in the event of an accident or
similar impact, cutting off the fuel supply to
the engine.
2.0 litre DOHC models
The fuel injection system fitted to these
models is under the overall control of an EEC
IV engine management system which also
controls the ignition timing.
Fuel is supplied from the rear-mounted fuel
tank by an electric fuel pump, which is integral
with the fuel level sender unit mounted inside
the fuel tank. Fuel passes via a fuel filter and a
pressure regulator to the fuel rail. The fuel rail
acts as a reservoir for the four fuel injectors,
which inject fuel into the cylinder inlet tracts,
upstream of the inlet valves. The fuel injectorsare operated in pairs by electrical pulses
supplied by the EEC IV module, and fuel is
injected by one pair of injectors every half-
revolution of the crankshaft. The duration of
each electrical pulse determines the quantity of
fuel injected, and pulse duration is computed
by the EEC IV module on the basis of
information received from the various sensors.
Inducted air passes through the air cleaner,
and through a plenum chamber, before
passing on to the cylinder inlet tracts via the
throttle valve and inlet manifold. The volume
of air entering the engine is calculated by the
EEC IV module from information supplied by
various sensors. These sensors include an air
charge temperature sensor mounted in the
inlet manifold, which measures the
temperature of the air entering the engine; a
manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor,
which measures the pressure of the air
entering the engine; a throttle position sensor;
and a crankshaft speed/position sensor,
which supplies information on engine speed
and provides a timing reference.
Additional sensors inform the EEC IV
module of fuel temperature, engine coolant
temperature, and vehicle speed (from a
gearbox-mounted sensor).
Idle speed is controlled by a variable-orifice
solenoid valve, which regulates the amount of
air bypassing the throttle valve. The valve is
controlled by the EEC IV module; there is no
provision for direct adjustment of the idle
speed.
On models without a catalytic converter,
idle mixture adjustment is by means of a
potentiometer connected directly to the EEC
IV module. On models with a catalytic
converter, an exhaust gas oxygen (HEGO)
sensor enables the EEC IV module to control
the fuel/air mixture to suit the operating
parameters of the catalytic converter; no
