FUEL METERING
The Engine Control Module (ECM) 1s 1n complete
control of this fuel delivery system during normal
driving conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is
used
only to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected
by separate injectors that are mounted over the intake
manifold.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor mea­
sures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure
which result from engine load and speed changes,
which the MAP sensor converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change corre­
sponding to the flow ofthe air drawn into the engine.
The
changing voltage is transformed into an electric
signal and provided to the ECM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the MAP sensor,
Intake Air Temperature sensor and others, the ECM
determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width
feeding such information to the fuel injector valves to
effect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The
Multipart Fuel Injection system utilizes an injec­
tion system where the injectors turn on at every
crankshaft revolution. The ECM controls the injector
on time so that the correct amount of fuel is metered
depending on driving conditions.
Two interchangeable "0" rings are used on the injec­
tor that must be replaced when the injectors are
removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake
manifold and supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated
through the rail continually while
the engine is running. This removes air and vapors
from the fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during
hot weather operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the
fuel rail maintains a pressure differential across the
injectors under all operating conditions. It is accom­
plished by controlling the amount of fuel that is
recirculated back
to the fuel tank based on engine
demand.

DATA LINK CONNECTOR ''SCAN TOOLS''
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can communicate a
variety
of information through data link connector
terminal
"2". This data is transmitted at a high frequecy
which requires a
"Scan tool" for interpretation. There
are several
"Scan tools" available for reading this
information.
With an understanding
of the data which the tool
displays, and knowledge of the circuits involved, the
tool can be
very useful in obtaining information which
would be more difficult or impossible to obtain with
other equipment.
"Scan tools" do not make the use of diagnostic charts
unnecessary, nor
can they indicate exactly where a
problem is in a particular circuit. Trouble Tree
Charts
incorporate diagnosis procedures using a "Scan tool"
where possible and most charts require the use of a
"Scan tool" when it is applicable.
A "SCAN TOOL" THAT DISPLAYS FAUL TV
DATA SHOULD NOT BE USED AND THE
PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. THE USE OF A FAUL TV
"SCAN TOOL" CAN RESULT IN MIS­
DIAGNOSIS
AND UNNECESSARY PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
ECM's have two (2) modes for transmitting
information. The
following information will describe
the system operation in each
of the modes.
Data List (FO)
On engines that can be monitored in the "Open"
mode, certain parameters can be observed
without changing the engine operating
characteristics. The parameters capable
of being
read vary with engine families.
Most "Scan tools"
are programmed so that the system will go
directly into the data link connector mode
if the
"Open" mode is not available.
''SCAN TOOL'' LIMITATIONS AND USE
The "Scan tool" allows a quick check of sensors
and switches which are inputs
to the ECM. The
"Scan tool" allows one to manipulate wiring
harnesses or components under the hood while
observing the "Scan Tool" readout. This helps in
locating intermittents
with the engine not
running.
INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS
The "Scan tool" is helpful in cases of intermittent
operation. The
tool can be plugged in and
observed while driving the vehicle under the
condition
where the light comes "ON" momen- tarily,
or the
engine driveability is poor
momentarily.
If the problem seems to be related
to certain areas
that can be checked on the "Scan ~
tool", then those are the positions that should be
checked while driving the vehicle. If there does
not seem to
be any correlation between the
problem and any specific circuit, the
"Scan tool"
can be checked on each position, watching for a
period
of time to see if there is any change in the
readings that indicates intermittent operation.
The
"Scan tool" is also a useful and quick way of
comparing operating parameters of a poorly
operating engine with a known good one. For
example; A sensor may shift in
value but not set a
diagnostic trouble code. Comparing with a known
good vehicle may uncover the problem.
The
"Scan tool" has the ability to save time in
diagnosis and prevent the replacement
of good
parts. The key to using the
"Scan tool" success­
fully
for diagnosis lies in the technicians ability to
understand the system he is trying to diagnose as
well as an understanding of the "Scan tool's"
limitations. Therefore, the technician should read
the tool operating manual to become familiar
with
the tool. The following information will describe
most of the "Scan tool" positions and how they
can be helpful in diagnosis.
"SCAN TOOL" POSITIONS
INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH
In this position, the reading is given in milli­
seconds which is the on time that the ECM is
commanding to the injector(s).
CLOSED LOOP/OPEN LOOP
This position will indicate whether the engine
control system
is operating in open or closed
loop. Most systems go closed loop after a certain
amount of run time, when engine coolant
temperature
is high enough, and the oxygen
sensor becomes active.
TROUBLE CODES
Will display any trouble codes stored in the ECM
memory.
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
Values read will be the voltage as seen by the ~
ECM. The voltage should be the TP sensor
specification
with the throttle closed and go up to
about 5 volts with
wide open throttle.

6E2-34 DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
''SCAN TOOL" ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK
The Diagnostic Circuit is an organized approach to identifying a problem created by an electronic engine control
system malfunction. It must be the starting point for any drive ability complaint diagnosis, because it directs the
service technician to the next
logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
The "Scan tool" data listed in the table may be used for comparison, after completing the on-board diagnostic
system check and finding the on-board diagnostics functioning
properly with no trouble codes displayed. The
"Typical Data Values" are an average of display values recorded from normally operating vehicles and are
intended
to represent what a normally functioning system would typically display.
A "SCAN tool" that displays faulty data should not be used, and the problem should be reported to the
manufacturer. The use of a faulty "SCAN tool" can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts
replacement.
Only the parameters listed below are used in this manual for diagnosis. If a "Scan tool" reads other parameters,
the
values are not recommended for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and use of the "Scan
tool" to diagnosis engine control module inputs, refer to the applicable component diagnosis section in
"Component System", Section "6E2-C". If all values are within the range illustrated, refer to "Symptoms", Section
"6E2-B".

MODES OF OPERATION
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses voltage inputs
from several sensors to determine how much fuel to
give the engine. The fuel is delivered under one of
several conditions, called "modes". All the modes are
controlled by the ECM and are described below.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned "ON", the ECM turns
"ON" the fuel pump relay for two seconds, and the fuel
pump builds up pressure. The ECM also checks the
Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the
Throttle Position Sensor, and the determines the
proper
air/fuel ratio for starting. This ranges from 1.5:1
-36·c (-33.F) to 14.7:1, at 94•c (201.F) ECT.
The ECM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by changing
how long the injector is
turned
"ON" and "OFF". The is done by "Pulsing" the
injectors
for very short times.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine floods, it may be cleared by pushing the
accelerator pedal down all the way. The ECM then will
fixed air/fuel ratio 16.5:1. The ECM holds this injector
rate
as long as the throttle stays wide open. If the
throttle position becomes less than approximately
70%, the ECM returns to the starting mode.
Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called "Open Loop"
and "Closed Loop"
"Open Loop"
When the engine is first started, and it is above 500
Rovolution Per Minute (rpm), the system goes into
"Open Loop" operation. IN "Open Loop," the ECM
ignores the signal from the heated oxygen sensor
(H02S), and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on
inputs
from the ECT sensor and manifold absolute
pressure sensors.
The system stays in
"Open Loop" until the following
conditions are met:
1. The H02S has varying voltage output, showing
that
it is hot enough to operate properly. (This
depends on temperature.)
2. The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature.
3. A specific amount of time has elapsed after
starting the engine.
"Closed Loop"
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines, and are stored in the ECM. When
these conditions are met, the system goes into
"Closed
Loop"
operation. In "Closed Loop", the ECM calculates
the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the signal
from the H02S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay
very close to 14.7:1.
DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS 6E2-117
Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position
and air
flow, and provides extra fuel.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and
air
flow, and reduces the amount of fuel. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel
completely
for short periods.
Battery Positive Voltage Correction Mode
When battery positive voltage is low, the ECM can
compensate
for a weak spark delivered by the ignition
control module by:
• Increasing injector pulse width.
• Increasing the idle rpm.
• Increasing ignition dwell time.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
The fuel injectors are shut "OFF" if engine speed
"exceed" 6880 rpm (DOHC) or6800 rpm (SOHC). This is
to prevent damage to engine. When engine speed is
below 6880 rpm (DOHC) or 6800 rpm (SOHC), the fuel
injectors are again pulsed at a normal mode.

FUEL INJECTORS
The multipart fuel injection injector assembly is a
solenoid-operated device, controlled
by the Engine
Control Module (ECM), that meters pressurized fuel to
a single engine cylinder.
The
ECM energizes the low impedance (2.0 ohms) for
DOHC or High impedance (12.2 ohms) for SOHC
solenoid to a normally closed ball valve. This allows
fuel
to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball
valve, and through a recessed
flow director plate at the
injector outlet (Fig. 6E2-71). The director plate has six
machined holes
that control the fuel flow, generating a
conical spray pattern
of finely atomized fuel at the
injector tip. Fuel
from the tip is directed at the intake
valve, causing
it to become further atomized and
vaporized before entering the combustion chamber.
An injector which is stuck partially open
would cause a
loss
of pressure after engine shut down. Also, an
extended crank times would be noticed on some
engines. Dieseling could also
occ!Jr because some fuel
could be delivered
to the engine after the ignition is
turned
"OFF".
FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER OPERATION
The method of turning the Fuel Injectors "ON" and
"OFF" is called a "Peak" and "Hold" Driver System.
The
ECM uses a transistor to "Peak" Injector to open it.
A second set
of Injector Drivers will "Hold" the Injectors
open for the calculated pulse width. The ECM has three
(3) Injector Drivers, they are labeled A, 8, and C inside
the
ECM. Injector Driver "A" is used to open the Injector
initially (Peak) and depending on available battery
positive voltage
Injector Drive "8" or "C" is used to
"Hold" the Injector for the amount of time necessary to
inject the proper amount of fuel into the cylinder. A
resistor module in part
of the Injector Driver circuits to
protect the Injector Drivers from high current (amps). If
one of the Driver circuits become "Open" the vehicle
will
not start. Diagnosis of the Injector driver circuits
are done
with Chart A-3 "Cranks But Won't Run" chart
in
SECTION 6E2-A of this service manual.
FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
ASSEMBLY
The fuel pressure control valve is a diaphragm­
operated relief valve
with fuel pump pressure on one
side and regulator spring pressure and intake manifold
absolute pressure on the other (Fig. 6E2-72).
The function
of the regulator is to maintain a constant
pressure differential across the injectors at all times.
The fuel pressure control valve compensates
for
engine load by increasing fuel pressure as engine
vacuum drops.
The fuel pressure control valve is mounted at the end
ofthe fuel rail, and is serviced as a complete assembly.
The system operates in
an acceptable pressure range
of 280 to 320 kPa (41 to 46 psi) with engine running.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a
DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS 6E2-119
diagnostic trouble code 44 could result. If the pressure
is too high, excess odor and a diagnostic trouble code
45 could result.
CHART A-7 has information on diagnosing fuel
pressure conditions.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is mounted on the
side
of the throttle body opposite the throttle lever
assembly.
Its function is to sense the current throttle
body position and relay that information to the ECM.
Knowledge ofTP is needed by the ECM to generate the
proper injector pulse width.
If the TP sensor senses a
Wide
Open Throttle, a voltage signal indicating this
condition is transmitted to the
ECM. The ECM will
widen the injector pulse, or increase the repetition rate,
permitting increased fuel
flow to each for the six fuel
injectors located in the fuel fail. As the throttle shaft
rotates in response to
movement of the accelerator
pedal (opening
or closing of the throttle body), the
throttle shaft transmits throttle
movement to the TP
sensor. A potentiometer (variable resistor) within the
TP sensor assembly creates a voltage that varies in
response to
TP. By applying a reference voltage (+5
VDC) to the TP sensor input, a varying voltage
(reflecting
TP) is available at the TP sensor output. The
voltage
output from the TP sensor is sent to the ECM
for use in determining current TP.
For further information ofTP sensor, refer to "ECM and
Sensors", Section
"6E2-C1 ". The TP sensor is an auto
zeroing type and cannot
be adjusted.
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E2-121
INDUCTION AIR CONTROL PLATE
SYSTEM (DOHC) (Fig. 6E2-74)
This system consists of the Induction Air control plate
valve mounted in the common chamber
duct and a
vacuum operated diaphragm
which moves the Induction Air
Control Plate linkage. The vacuum to the diaphragm is
turned
"ON" or "OFF" by a vacuum switching solenoid
which is electrically operated by the
ECM.
Refer to CHART C-20 for diagnosing the Induction air
control plate system.

DIAGNOSIS
FUEL METERING SYSTEM
Some failures of this system will result in the symptom,
"Engine Cranks But Will Not Run". If this condition
exists, see CHART A-3. This chart will determine
if the
problem is caused by the ignition system,
ECM or fuel
pump circuit.
If it's determined to be a fuel problem.
CHART A-5
or A-7 will be used. This includes the
injectors, fuel pressure control valve, fuel
pump and
fuel pump relay. The fuel system
wiring schematic
diagram is covered on the facing page
of CHART A-5.
If a malfunction occurs in the fuel control system, it
usually results in either a rich or lean Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) signal condition. This condition is
sensed by the
H02S and the ECM will change the fuel
calculation (injector pulse width) based on
H02S input.
The change made to the fuel calculation will be
indicated
by a change in the block learn values which
can be displayed on a
"Scan tool". The ideal block learn
values are around 128 counts.
If the H02S senses a
lean condition, the
ECM will add fuel, resulting in a
block learn value above 128 counts.
If the H02S senses
a rich condition, the
ECM will subtract fuel, resulting in
a block learn value below 128 counts.
Block learn values can vary greatly, depending on
temperature, altitude and individual engine
tolerances. The programmed range for block learn
values is
58 to 198. Values within this range indicate
the system is in
"control". If a system is operating near
the extremes
of the block learn range during normal vehicle
operation, and there is a driveability complaint,
the fuel metering system should be checked. Refer to
the diagnostic trouble code
45 chart on the facing page
for potential causes of a rich condition (low block learn
values). Refer to the diagnostic trouble code 44 chart
facing page
for potential causes of a lean condition
(high block learn values).
If a driveability symptom
exists, also refer to the particular symptom in
"Symptoms", Section "6E2-B" for additional items to
check.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
A fuel system pressure test procedure is included in
CHART A-7 under
"Fuel System Diagnosis" in "Engine
Components/Wiring Diagrams/Diagnostic
Charts",
Section "6E2-A" diagnostic charts.
IDLE AIR CONTROL (lAC) VALVE
A "Scan tool" will display Idle Air Control (lAC) valve
position in
"Counts" or steps. "0" steps indicates the
ECM is commanding the lAC valve to be driven all the
way in, to a fully seated position. This condition is
usually caused by a vacuum leak.
The higher the number
of counts, the more air is being
allowed to pass the
lAC valve. A functional check of the
lAC valve system (CHART C-2C) is provided in this
section. Refer to
"Refer, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle,
Stalling"
in "Symptoms", Section "6E2-B" for other
possibilities
for the cause of idle problems.
