Usually, the negative pressure (vacuum) of the
intake manifold is applied to the fuel-pressure
regulator, and, because the fuel pressure is thus
held at a fixed constant level relative to the pressure
within the intake manifold, the amount to fuel
injected is regulated so as to be proportional to the
injectors’ actuation time. If, however, the engine
coolant-temperature and the intake air temperature
are high when then engine is started, the engine
control unit sends a flow of current to the fuel-
pressure control valve, with the result that outside
air (atmospheric) pressure acts upon the fuel-
pressure regulator.

fuel pressure is increased and the
generation of fuel vapors caused by high tem-

stability immediately after restarting under
high-temperature conditions.
Note that there is a return to the usual fuel pressure
level after two minutes or more have passed after
starting is completed.
In addition, the circuitry of the fuel-pressure control
valve. is interrupted, thus controlling so that the fuel
pressure corresponds to supercharging pressure,
under high-load driving conditions (during super-
charged driving by the turbocharger).

This switch sends the air conditioner ON/OFF signal
to the engine control unit.
When the air conditioner is turned on and the enginecontrol unit receives the ON
signal from the switch,
it commands the idle speed control servo
toincrease the idle speed to the preset rpm. Thus
engine rpm loss due to air conditioner operation
while the engine is idling is prevented and smooth
idling operation is ensured.

The injector activation duration is determined
basi-
tally by the intake air flow signal from the air flow
sensor and the crank angle signal (engine rpm
signal). The duration determined in this way is called‘le “basic activation duration”. A correction factor is
applied to the basic duration according to the signalsfrom various sensors, to obtain the optimum
injec-tor activation duration (fuel injection volume) for
current driving conditions.

14-40FUEL SYSTEM - Fuel Injection Control
BASIC INJECTOR ACTIVATION DURATION
In sequential injection under normal operating conditions, fuel
is injected into each cylinder once every cycle (i.e., two
crankshaft revolutions).
The injector activation duration required to inject the amount of
fuel that achieves the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
(15 times as
much air, by weight, as gasoline, by weight) with regard to the
amount of air admitted during one cycle in each cylinder is
called the “basic injector activation duration”.
The amount of air admitted to each cylinder during one cycle is
calculated by the engine control unit based on the signals
provided by the air flow sensor and crank angle sensor.

t--“---t-+[Calculation of the Amount of Intake Air into Each Cylinder
during One Cycle]
The amount of intake air used by the four cylinders in one cycle
in a four-cylinder engine can be calculated by counting the
number of pulses output from the air flow sensor during the
period of time in which the crankshaft rotates two complete
revolutions, i.e., during which four complete pulses are output
from the crank angle sensor. The amount of intake air used by
each cylinder in one cycle can therefore be calculated by
counting the number of air flow sensor output pulses during
the time in which the crank angle sensor outputs one pulse.
The amount of intake air into each cylinder per cycle is denoted
by the symbol
A/N, which varies in proportion to the intake
manifold vacuum (absolute pressure).
[Calculation of the Engine
Speed]The engine speed can be calculated by measuring the
one-pulse frequency of the crank angle sensor signal.

FUEL SYSTEM -Fuel Injection Control
14-41
During normal operation (including idling), the en-
gine control unit controls the injector activation time
tcThieve the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, which
e.;res maximum efficiency of the catalytic conver-
ter, on the basis of the oxygen sensor signal.
When the air/fuel mixture is richer than the
stoichiometric ratio, there is less oxygen in the
exhaust gas and thus the oxygen sensor output
voltage is higher; hence a “mixture rich” signal is
input to the engine control unit. Then, the engine
control unit decreases the amount of fuel injected. If
the air/fuel ratio decreases to the point that and the
mixture becomes leaner than the stoichiometric
ratio, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas
increases and the oxygen sensor output voltage
becomes lower. Then, a “mixture lean” signal isinput to the engine control unit.
Upon input of this signal, the engine control unit
increases the feedback correction factor, thus caus-
ing more fuel to be injected.
By means of the above-mentioned controls (collec-
tively called “feedback control”), the air-fuel mixture
is maintained at the stoichiometric ratio.
Under the following specific conditions, this feed-
back control is not performed, in order to improve
driveability.

ENRICHMENTWhen the throttle valve is wide open, control is performed to
increase the amount of fuel injected, in order to secure good
driveability under high load conditions.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL DURING ENGINE WARM-UP
To secure good driveability when the engine is still cold, control
is performed to increase the amount of fuel injected when the
engine
cooiant temperature is low.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL ACCORDING TO INTAKE AIR
TEMPERATUREGiven a constant intake air volume, the change in intake air
temperature alters the intake air density, resulting in an
improper air-fuel ratio.
To correct this deviation, the amount of fuel injected is
controlled; i.e., the amount of fuel injected is increased to
compensate for the higher
intake air density caused by the
decreased intake air temperature.
