El.-*STime ’6fFuel Injection Control during Acceleration
During acceleration, acceleration correction described in the
section “Simultaneous Injection” is performed in relation to the
change in throttle valve opening.
Fuel Limiting Control during Deceleration
The amount of fuel injected is limited during deceleration in
order to prevent the catalyst temperature from going up
excessively, and to enhance fuel economy.
Fuel Cut Control during Overrun
Fuel is cut off when the engine speed exceeds 7,500 rpm to
protect the engine from overrunning.
Fuel Cut Control during ‘Overboost” When
(A/N) becomes the prescribed value or higher, the fuel
supply is cut in order to prevent an excessive increase of the
supercharging pressure.
As a result, an excessive increases of the supercharging
pressure, even in the unlikely event of a malfunction of the
waste gate valve of the turbocharger, is prevented.
Hot Engine Idle Stabilizing Control
When the intake air temperature exceeds
60°C (140°F) and the
coolant temperature
90°C (194°F) when the engine is started,
the fuel temperature is high with a greater possibility of vapor
being generated. This means that the amount of fuel injected
becomes smaller if the injector activation duration remains the
same. The activation duration is therefore prolonged im-
mediately after a hot engine has been started. The activation
duration is then gradually decreased to the normal activation
duration. This contributes to a stable idling speed.

The basic position is preset as a map value Optimized

thereby maintaining the optimum idle speed.
This basic position of the idle control servo

For models equipped with the automatic

the position of the shift lever is anywhere other than the
“P” or “N” range, the servo position is increased in
proportion to the load of the torque-converter.
(3) Idle control servo position during operation of the power
steering system
When the power steering oil pressure switch is turned on
because the steering wheel is being turned while
thevehicle is stationary, the servo position is changed to
correspond to the increased power steering pump load.
(4) Servo position while the air conditioner is being operated
When the air conditioner switch is turned on, the servo
position is changed to correspond to the increased air
conditioner load.
(5) High altitude compensation
A correction is performed by increasing the opening of the
idle speed control servo to allow increasing bypass air flow
in order to compensate for the loss of intake air volume
(asmeasured by weight) caused by a reduction in intake air
density due to a drop in barometric pressure at increased
altitude.
(6) “Training” function
A “training” function that enters a value based upon the
engine rpm and the target rpm into the memon/,
andcorrects the servo position according to this value, is
provided in order to obtain an even higher degree of
precision of position control.

CONTROL WHEN THE ENGINE SPEED IS UNUSUALLY LOWThe followi
gcontrols are provided when the engine speecfalls below
i5;D rpm after the engine has been fully warmed-up
[with engine coolant temperature more than
55°C (131”F)].
(1) During feedback control
The idle speed control servo is activated immediately by a
particular number of angular steps which represent the
feedback correction.
(2) During servo position control
The idle speed control servo is activated to conform to
aposition corresponding to an increased number of steps
(46
steps).DASH POT CONTROL
Control is provided to dampen the extending motion of the
pintle from a certain opening degree, thereby absorbing
deceleration shocks.
(1) Control while cruising
While cruising or racing, the idle speed control servo is
activated to further open the bypass air path corresponding
to the dash pot position which is more open than the idle
position.The idle speed control servo is activated in this way when
the following conditions are met.
l Engine speed 500 rpm or higher
l Idle position switch in the OFF position
The dash pot position is dependent on the throttle valve
opening map value.,
(2) Control during deceleration
When the vehicle is decelerated from a cruising or racing
speed, the idle speed control servo is activated to close the
bypass air path gradually from the dash pot position so that
the intake air volume is not abruptly reduced, thereby
dampening deceleration shocks.
The idle speed control servo is activated when either one of
the following conditions are met.
lWhen the throttle position sensor output voltage drops
l When the idle switch is turned on.
CONTROL WHEN STARTING
While the engine is being cranked, the idle speed control servo
is controlled to provide optimum bypass air volume for starting.
Immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, idle speed
servo position control is provided to achieve the optimum
_
position.

If the engine coolant temperature exceeds
&k (194°F) when
the engine is started, the feedback target speed after the
engine has started is increased a set value which is higher thannormal and then is gradually decreased.
CONTROL DURING IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMEN?
Grounding the ignition timing adjusting terminal and diagnosis/
data transfer select terminal causes the idle speed control
servo to be fixed at a position corresponding to the idle position
after warm-up. Idle speed is therefore adjusted with the servo
at the preset position after warm-up (9 steps).
The altitude compensation control is applied to thisposition,
meaning that the motor shifts to a position so that the pintle is
further retracted at high altitudes.
