The EFI system is composed of three basic sub±systems: Fuel, Air Induction and Elect\
ronic Control
Systems.
FUEL SYSTEM
An electric pump fuel pressure supplies sufficient fuel, under a constant pressure, to the EFI injectors. In
accordance with signals from the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), these \
injectors inject the quantity of fuel most
appropriate for the engine condition into the intake manifold.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
The air induction system provides sufficient air for engine operation.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The 1UZ±FE engine (ECU±formerly EFI computer) with a microcomputer \
centrally controls the EFI, ESA,
ISC and Diagnosis system, etc. The ECU controls the following functions:
1. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
The ECU receives signals from various sensors indicating changing engine op\
eration conditions such as:Intake air volume
Intake air temperature
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Acceleration/deceleration
Exhaust oxygen content etc.
The signals are utilized by the ECU to determine the injection duration nec\
essary for an optimum air±fuel
ratio.
2. Electronic Spark Advance (ESA) The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and all opera\
ting conditions. Using
data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, coola\
nt temperature, etc.), the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely right instant. (S\
ee IG section)
3. Idle Speed Control (ISC) The ECU is programmed with idle speed data for various engine conditions (\
coolant temperature, air condi-
tioner ON/OFF, etc.).
The air volume flowing through the throttle valve by±pass passage is adj\
usted according to the signal from
each sensor and the idle speed is kept at the set value.
4. Diagnosis Function When the ECU detects any malfunctions or abnormalities in the sensor network\
, it lights the ºCHECKº en-
gine warning light in the combination meter. At the same time, the trouble is identified and a diagnostic code
is recorded by the ECU. The diagnostic code can be read by the number of\
blinks of the ºCHECKº engine
warning light when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected. The diagnostic co\
des are refer to the later page.
(See TR section)
5. Self±Correction Function If any sensor malfunctions, an average value recorded in the back±up ci\
rcuit is substituted to make driving
possible.
If danger is predicted, the engine is stopped and the ºCHECKº engine\
warning light will light up.
6. Fail±Safe Function Even if an abnormality occurs in the ECU, the back±up circuit uses a specifie\
d fuel injection and ignition
timing to provide vehicle driveability, and also lightsup the ºCHECKº engine warning light.

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is pumped up by the fuel pump, which flows through the fuel filter under pr\
essure through the fuel pipe
to the delivery pipe where it is distributed to each injector and the cold\
start injector.
The fuel pressure regulator adjusts the pressure of the fuel from the fuel \
line (high pressure side) to a pres-
sure 284 kPa (2.9 kgf/cm
2, 41 psi) higher than the pressure inside the intake manifold, and exce\
ss fuel is re-
turned to the fuel tank through the return pipe.
When the engine is hot, the fuel pressure is increased to control percolatio\
n in the fuel system and improve
restartability and idling stability.
The pulsation damper absorbs the slight fluctuations in fuel pressure ca\
used by the injector.
The injectors operate on input of injection signals from the ECU and inj\
ect fuel into the intake manifold.
The cold start injector operates when starting with low coolant temperature or at normal temperature
ranges, injecting fuel into the air intake chamber to improve startability. FI±7

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The control system consists of sensors which detect various engine conditions, and a ECU which deter\
-
mines the injection volume (timing) based on the signals from the sens\
ors.
The various sensors detect the air intake volume, engine rpm, oxygen densit\
y in the exhaust gas, coolant
temperature, air intake temperature and atmospheric pressure etc. and convert the in\
formation into an electrical
signal which is sent to the ECU. Based on these signals, the ECU calculates th\
e optimum ignition timing for the
current conditions and operates the injectors.
The ECU not only controls the fuel injection timing, but also the self diag\
nostic function which records the
occurrence of a malfunction, ignition timing control, idle rpm control, \
EGR control, EVAP control, fuel pressure
control and fuel pump control. FI±9

PRECAUTIONS
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the cablefrom negative (±) terminal of the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic code retained by the computer will be
erased when the battery terminal is removed. Therefore, if
necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the battery
terminal.
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and negative (±) terminal
cable is disconnected from the battery.
2. Do not smoke or work on open flame when working on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. CHECK CORRECT ENGINE TUNE±UP (See page EM±8)
2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE (a) Use the battery as the power source for the timing light,tachometer, etc.
(b) Connect the test probe of a tachometer to the terminal IG of the check connector.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE, FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, check that the ignition coil terminalsand all other ignition system lines are reconnected
securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR (a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against anobject.
(b) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with water.
