GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4 cylinder and 4.0L 6 cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the fuel system. The PCM was formerly referred to
as the SBEC or engine controller. The PCM is a pre-
programmed, dual microprocessor digital computer.
It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission
control devices, charging system, speed control, air
conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle
speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputsrep-
resent the instantaneous engine operating conditions.
Air-fuel mixture and ignition timing calibrations for
various driving and atmospheric conditions are pre-
programmed into the PCM. The PCM monitors and
analyzes various inputs. It then computes engine fuel
and ignition timing requirements based on these in-
puts. Fuel delivery control and ignition timing will
then be adjusted accordingly.
Other inputs to the PCM are provided by the brake
light switch, air conditioning select switch and the
speed control switches. All inputs to the PCM are
converted into signals.
Electrically operated fuel injectors spray fuel in
precise metered amounts into the intake port directlyabove the intake valve. The injectors are fired in a
specific sequence by the PCM. The PCM maintains
an air/fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1 by constantly adjusting
injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time that the injector opens and sprays fuel
into the chamber. The PCM adjusts injector pulse
width by opening and closing the ground path to the
injector.
Manifold absolute pressure (air density) and engine
rpm (speed) are the primary inputs that determine
fuel injector pulse width. The PCM also monitors
other inputs when adjusting air-fuel ratio.
Inputs That Effect Fuel Injector Pulse Width
²Exhaust gas oxygen content
²Engine coolant temperature
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
²Engine speed
²Throttle position
²Battery voltage
²Air conditioning selection
²Transmission gear selection (automatic transmis-
sions only)
²Speed control
The powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts igni-
tion timing by controlling ignition coil operation. The
ignition coil receives battery voltage when the igni-
tion key is in the run or starter position. The PCM
provides a ground for the ignition coil. The coil dis-

²Signal ground
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs
²A/C clutch relay
²Idle air control (IAC) motor
²Auto shut down (ASD) relay
²Generator field
²Malfunction indicator lamp
²Fuel injectors
²Fuel pump relay
²Ignition coil
²SCI transmit (DRB scan tool connection)
²Shift indicator lamp (manual transmission only)
²Speed control vacuum solenoid
²Speed control vent solenoid
²Tachometer (on instrument panel, if equipped)
²Torque converter clutch relay (3-speed auto. trans.
only)
The PCM contains a voltage convertor. This con-
verts battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. It is
used to power the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor. The PCM also provides a
five (5) volt supply for the Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) sensor and Throttle Position Sensor
(TPS).
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONTROLSÐPCM INPUT
The A/C control system information applies to fac-
tory installed air conditioning units only.
A/C SELECT SIGNAL:When the A/C switch is
in the ON position and the A/C low pressure switch
is closed, an input signal is sent to the powertrain
control module (PCM). The signal informs the PCM
that the A/C has been selected. The PCM adjusts idle
speed to a pre-programmed rpm through the idle air
control (IAC) motor to compensate for increased en-
gine load.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL:Once A/C has been se-
lected, the PCM receives the A/C request signal from
the evaporator switch. The input indicates that the
evaporator temperature is in the proper range for
A/C application. The PCM uses this input to cycle
the A/C compressor clutch (through the A/C relay). It
will also determine the correct engine idle speed
through the IAC motor position.
If the A/C low pressure switch opens (indicating a
low refrigerant level), the PCM will not receive an
A/C select signal. The PCM will then remove the
ground from the A/C relay. This will deactivate the
A/C compressor clutch.
If the evaporator switch opens, (indicating that
evaporator is not in proper temperature range), the
PCM will not receive the A/C request signal. The
PCM will then remove the ground from the A/C re-
lay, deactivating the A/C compressor clutch.
AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN (ASD) SENSEÐPCM
INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the ASD has been activated. The ASD relay is
located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the
engine compartment (Figs. 3 or 4). It is used to con-
nect oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil, gen-
erator field winding and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply. Also refer to Automatic Shut Down
RelayÐPCM Output.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay
is energized. If the PCM does not see 12 volts at this
input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
BATTERY VOLTAGEÐPCM INPUT
The battery voltage input provides power to the
powertrain control module (PCM). It also informs the
PCM what voltage level is supplied to the ignition
coil and fuel injectors.
If battery voltage is low, the PCM will increase in-
jector pulse width (period of time that the injector is
Fig. 3 Power Distribution CenterÐYJ Models
Fig. 4 Power Distribution CenterÐXJ Models
JFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 19

energized). This is done to compensate for the re-
duced flow through injector caused by the lowered
voltage.
BRAKE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
When the brake light switch is activated, the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) receives an input indi-
cating that the brakes are being applied. After
receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed
to a scheduled rpm through control of the idle air
control (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also
used to operate the speed control system.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
A sync signal is provided by the camshaft position
sensor located in the ignition distributor (Fig. 5). The
sync signal from this sensor works in conjunction
with the crankshaft position sensor to provide the
powertrain control module (PCM) with inputs. This
is done to establish and maintain correct injector fir-
ing order.
Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor in Group 8D, Ig-
nition System for more information.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM INPUT
The data link connector (diagnostic scan tool con-
nector) links the DRB scan tool with the powertrain
control module (PCM). The data link connector is lo-
cated in the engine compartment (Figs. 6 or 7). For
operation of the DRB scan tool, refer to the appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service man-
ual.
The data link connector uses two different pins on
the PCM. One is for Data Link Transmit and the
other is for Data Link Receive.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is in-
stalled in the intake manifold with the sensor ele-
ment extending into the air stream (Figs. 8 or 9).
The sensor provides an input voltage to the power-
train control module (PCM) indicating intake mani-
fold air temperature. The input is used along with
inputs from other sensors to determine injector pulse
width. As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in
the manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes.
This results in a different input voltage to the PCM.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORÐPCM INPUT
This sensor is a Hall Effect device that detects
notches in the flywheel (manual transmission), or
flexplate (automatic transmission).
This sensor is used to indicate to the powertrain
control module (PCM) that a spark and or fuel injec-
tion event is to be required. The output from this
sensor, in conjunction with the camshaft position
sensor signal, is used to differentiate between fuel in-
jection and spark events. It is also used to synchro-
nize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

14 - 20 FUEL SYSTEMJ

Refer to Group 8D, Ignition System for more crank-
shaft position sensor information.
The engine will not operate if the PCM does not re-
ceive a crankshaft position sensor input.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSORÐPCM
INPUT
The coolant temperature sensor is installed in the
thermostat housing (Fig. 10) and protrudes into the
water jacket. The sensor provides an input voltage to
the powertrain control module (PCM) relating cool-
ant temperature. The PCM uses this input along
with inputs from other sensors to determine injector
pulse width and ignition timing. As coolant temper-
ature varies, the coolant temperature sensor's resis-
tance changes. The change in resistance results in a
different input voltage to the PCM.
When the engine is cold, the PCM will operate in
Open Loop cycle. It will demand slightly richer air-
fuel mixtures and higher idle speeds. This is done
until normal operating temperatures are reached.
Refer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes of Opera-
tion in this section of the group for more information.
EXTENDED IDLE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
OPTIONAL POLICE PACKAGE ONLY
The extended idle switch is used to raise the en-
gine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm. This is
when the shifter is in either the Park or Neutral po-
sition. A rocker-type 2-wire switch (extended idle
switch) is mounted to the instrument panel. This
switch will supply a ground circuit to the powertrain
control module (PCM).The switch is available
only with 4.0L engine when supplied with the
optional police package.
For testing and diagnosis of this switch and its cir-
cuit, refer to the MFI SystemÐGeneral Diagnosis
section of this group.
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
The ignition circuit sense input tells the powertrain
control module (PCM) the ignition switch has ener-
gized the ignition circuit. Refer to the wiring dia-
grams for circuit information.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)
SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The MAP sensor reacts to absolute pressure in the
intake manifold. It provides an input voltage to the
powertrain control module (PCM). As engine load
changes, manifold pressure varies. The change in
manifold pressure causes MAP sensor voltage to
change. The change in MAP sensor voltage results in
a different input voltage to the PCM. The input volt-
age level supplies the PCM with information about
ambient barometric pressure during engine start-up
(cranking) and engine load while the engine is run-
ning. The PCM uses this input along with inputs
from other sensors to adjust air-fuel mixture.
The MAP sensor is mounted on the dash panel.
The sensor is connected to the throttle body with a
vacuum hose and to the PCM electrically.

OVERDRIVE/OVERRIDE SWITCH
On vehicles equipped with overdrive, the power-
train control module (PCM) regulates the 3-4 over-
drive up-shift and down-shift through the overdrive
solenoid.
Refer to Group 21 for more information.
OXYGEN (O2S) SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The O2S sensor is located in the exhaust down pipe
(Fig. 11). It provides an input voltage to the power-
train control module (PCM) relating the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gas. The PCM uses this
information to fine tune the air-fuel ratio by adjust-
ing injector pulse width.
The O2S sensor produces voltages from 0 to 1 volt.
This voltage will depend upon the oxygen content of
the exhaust gas in the exhaust manifold. When a
large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean
air-fuel mixture), the sensor produces a low voltage.
When there is a lesser amount present (rich air-fuel
mixture) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring
the oxygen content and converting it to electrical
voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensor is equipped with a heating ele-
ment that keeps the sensor at proper operating tem-
perature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into closed loop operation sooner.
In Closed Loop operation, the powertrain control
module (PCM) monitors the O2S sensor input (along
with other inputs). It then adjusts the injector pulse
width accordingly. During Open Loop operation, the
PCM ignores the O2S sensor input and adjusts injec-
tor pulse width to a preprogrammed value (based on
other sensor inputs).
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
The park/neutral switch is located on the transmis-
sion housing and provides an input to the powertrain
control module (PCM). This will indicate that the au-
tomatic transmission is in Park, Neutral or a drivegear selection. This input is used to determine idle
speed (varying with gear selection), fuel injector
pulse width and ignition timing advance. Refer to
Group 21, Transmissions, for testing, replacement
and adjustment information.
POWER GROUND
The power ground is used to control ground circuits
for the following powertrain control module (PCM)
loads:
²Generator Field Winding
²8 volt (PCM) power supply
²Fuel Injectors
²Ignition Coil
POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCHÐPCM
INPUT
A pressure sensing switch is included in the power
steering system (mounted on the high-pressure line).
This switch will be on vehicles equipped with a 2.5L
engine and power steering. The switch (Fig. 12 YJ
Models or Fig. 13 XJ Models) provides an input to
the PCM. This input is provided during periods of
high pump load and low engine rpm; such as during
parking maneuvers. The PCM will then increase the
idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
This is done to prevent the engine from stalling un-
der the increased load.
When steering pump pressure exceeds 1896 kPa6
172 kPa (275625 psi) the PCM will increase the en-
gine idle speed. This will prevent the engine from
stalling.
SCI RECEIVEÐPCM INPUT
SCI Receive is the serial data communication re-
ceive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The powertrain
control module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.

Models
14 - 22 FUEL SYSTEMJ

SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUT
The speed control system provides three separate
inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM); On/
Off, Set and Resume. The On/Off input informs the
PCM that the speed control system has been acti-
vated. The Set input informs the PCM that a fixed
vehicle speed has been selected. The Resume input
indicates to the PCM that the previous fixed speed is
requested.
The speed control operating range is from 50 km/h
to 142 km/h (35 to 85 mph). Inputs that effect speed
control operation are:
²Park/neutral switch
²Vehicle speed sensor
²Throttle position sensor
Refer to Group 8H for further speed control infor-
mation.
SENSOR RETURNÐPCM INPUT
Sensor Return provides a low noise ground refer-
ence for all system sensors.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)ÐPCM INPUT
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on
the throttle body (Figs. 14 or 15). The TPS is a vari-
able resistor that provides the powertrain control
module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents throttle blade position. The sensor is con-
nected to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of
the throttle blade changes, the resistance of the TPS
changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The
PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS.
This will vary in an approximate range of from 1
volt at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4 volts at
wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sen-
sors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine cur-rent engine operating conditions. In response to
engine operating conditions, the PCM will adjust fuel
injector pulse width and ignition timing.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 16) is located in the
extension housing of the transmission (2 wheel drive)
or on the transfer case extension housing (4 wheel
drive). The sensor input is used by the powertrain
control module (PCM) to determine vehicle speed and
distance traveled.
The speed sensor generates 8 pulses per sensor rev-
olution. These signals, in conjunction with a closed
throttle signal from the throttle position sensor, indi-
cate a closed throttle deceleration to the PCM. When
the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closed throttle signal
is received by the PCM (but a speed sensor signal is
not received).
Under deceleration conditions, the PCM adjusts the
idle air control (IAC) motor to maintain a desired
MAP value. Under idle conditions, the PCM adjusts
the IAC motor to maintain a desired engine speed.

FUEL PUMP RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM energizes the fuel pump through the fuel
pump relay. Battery voltage is applied to the relay
from the ignition switch. The relay is energized when
a ground is provided by the PCM. Refer to Automatic
Shut Down Relay for additional information.
FUEL INJECTORSÐPCM OUTPUT
Six individual fuel injectors are used with the 4.0L
6 cylinder engine. Four individual fuel injectors are
used with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. The injectors
are attached to the fuel rail (Fig. 19).
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the in-
take valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine
wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is
equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ
2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a se-
quential order by the powertrain control module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it re-
ceives.
During start up, battery voltage is supplied to the
injectors through the ASD relay. When the engine is
operating, voltage is supplied by the charging sys-
tem. The PCM determines injector pulse width based
on various inputs.
GENERATOR FIELDÐPCM OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) regulates
the charging system voltage within a range of 12.9 to
15.0 volts. Refer to Group 8A for charging system in-
formation.
GENERATOR LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
IF EQUIPPED
If the powertrain control module (PCM) senses a
low charging condition in the charging system, it
will illuminate the generator lamp on the instrument
panel. For example, during low idle with all accesso-
ries turned on, the light may momentarily go on.
Once the PCM corrects idle speed to a higher rpm,
the light will go out. Refer to Group 8A, Battery/
Starting/Charging Systems for charging system in-
formation.
IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) MOTORÐPCM OUTPUT
The IAC motor is mounted on the throttle body
(Figs. 20 or 21) and is controlled by the powertrain
control module (PCM).
The throttle body has an air control passage that
provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle plate
is closed). The IAC motor pintle protrudes into the
air control passage and regulates air flow through it.
Based on various sensor inputs, the powertrain con-
trol module (PCM) adjusts engine idle speed by mov-

SPEED CONTROLÐPCM OUTPUT
Speed control operation is regulated by the power-
train control module (PCM). The PCM controls the
vacuum to the throttle actuator through the speed
control vacuum and vent solenoids. Refer to Group
8H for speed control information.
TACHOMETERÐPCM OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies en-
gine rpm values to the instrument cluster tachome-
ter (if equipped). Refer to Group 8E for tachometer
information.

TRANS
The transmission mounted torque converter clutch
(TCC) solenoid is used to control the torque con-
verter. The solenoid is controlled through the power-
train control module (PCM) and by the TCC relay.
This relay is used only on vehicles equipped with a
3-speed automatic transmission.
An electrical output signal is sent from the PCM to
the TCC relay after the PCM receives information
from the vehicle speed, MAP, throttle position and
engine coolant temperature sensors. After the TCC
relay receives this necessary information, it will send
a signal to the torque converter clutch solenoid to
control the torque converter.
On YJ models the TCC relay is located in the en-
gine compartment, on the cowl panel and near the
battery (Fig. 24). On XJ models the TCC relay is lo-
cated in the power distribution center (PDC) (Fig.
23).
OPEN LOOP/CLOSED LOOP MODES OF
OPERATION
As input signals to the powertrain control module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT). There
are several different modes of operation that deter-
mine how the PCM responds to the various input sig-
nals.
MODES
²Open Loop
²Closed Loop
During Open Loop modes, the powertrain control
module (PCM) receives input signals and responds
only according to preset PCM programming. Input
from the oxygen (O2S) sensor is not monitored dur-
ing Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor
the oxygen (O2S) sensor input. This input indicates
to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector
pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This
ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor,
the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This
is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes
of operation:
²Ignition switch ON
²Engine start-up (crank)
²Engine warm-up
²Idle
²Cruise
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide open throttle (WOT)
²Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank),
engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide
open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle
and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating tem-
perature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system
is activated by the ignition switch, the following ac-
tions occur:
²The powertrain control module (PCM) pre-posi-
tions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
²The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
²The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature
sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy based
on this input.

JFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 27

²Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is
monitored
²Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored
²The auto shut down (ASD) relay is energized by
the PCM for approximately three seconds.
²The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump
relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate for ap-
proximately one second unless the engine is operat-
ing or the starter motor is engaged
²The O2S sensor heater element is energized
through the fuel pump relay. The O2S sensor input
is not used by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio
during this mode of operation.
²The up-shift indicator light is illuminated (manual
transmission only).
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions
occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The powertrain control module (PCM) receives in-
puts from:
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Starter motor relay
²Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor.
If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft position
sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the en-
gine, it will shut down the fuel injection system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through
the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
PCM. The PCM will then control the injection se-
quence and injector pulse width by turning the
ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing ac-
cording to input received from the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-
up, the powertrain control module (PCM) receives in-
puts from:
²Battery voltage
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
²Park/Neutral Switch (Gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)Based on these inputs the following occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM will
then control the injection sequence and injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off.
²The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition tim-
ing.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
²If the vehicle has a manual transmission, the up-
shift light is operated by the PCM.
²When engine has reached operating temperature,
the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor input.
The system will then leave the warm-up mode and
go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the powertrain
control module (PCM) receives inputs from:
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
²Battery voltage
²Park/Neutral Switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
²Oxygen sensor
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM will
then control injection sequence and injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off.
²The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and ad-
justs air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width. It
also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air
control (IAC) motor.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing
and decreasing spark advance.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
The optional Extended Idle Switch is used to raise
the engine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm.
This is when the shifter is in either the Park or Neu-
tral position. A rocker-type 2-wire switch (extended
idle switch) is mounted to the instrument panel. This
14 - 28 FUEL SYSTEMJ

switch will supply a ground circuit to the powertrain
control module (PCM).The switch is available
only with 4.0L engine when supplied with the
optional police package.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the power-
train control module (PCM) receives inputs from:
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
²Park/Neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.

²Oxygen (O2S) sensor
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
PCM. The PCM will then adjust the injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off.
²The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and ad-
justs air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle speed
through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
²The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The powertrain control
module (PCM) recognizes an abrupt increase in
throttle position or MAP pressure as a demand for
increased engine output and vehicle acceleration.
The PCM increases injector pulse width in response
to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is an Open Loop mode. During hard deceleration, the
powertrain control module (PCM) receives the follow-
ing inputs.
²Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
²Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
²Battery voltage
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)²Park/Neutral switch (gear indicator signalÐauto.
trans. only)
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the
proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the PCM
will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM
will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not
supply battery voltage to the injectors. If a hard de-
celeration does not exist, the PCM will determine the
proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust en-
gine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) mo-
tor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
The PCM opens the ground circuit to the A/C
clutch relay to disengage the A/C compressor clutch.
This is done until the vehicle is no longer under de-
celeration (if the A/C system is operating).
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open
throttle operation, the powertrain control module
(PCM) receives the following inputs.
²Battery voltage
²Crankshaft position sensor
²Engine coolant temperature sensor
²Intake manifold air temperature sensor
²Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
During wide open throttle conditions, the following
occurs:
²Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM will
then control the injection sequence and injector pulse
width by turning the ground circuit to each individ-
ual injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen
sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting
injector pulse width.
²The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
²The PCM opens the ground circuit to the A/C
clutch relay to disengage the A/C compressor clutch.
This will be done for approximately 15 seconds (if the
air conditioning system is operating).
If the vehicle has a manual transmission, the up-
shift light is operated by the PCM.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position,
the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
THROTTLE BODY
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body (Fig. 25). Fuel
does not enter the intake manifold through the throt-
