6FUO565Engine knocking is detected and the ignition timing
is controlled accordingly to prevent continued
knocking and to protect the engine.
When knocking is detected, the engine control unit
delays the ignition timing according to the signal
from the detonation sensor until the knocking is
eliminated (up to a maximum 12” in crank angle). In
the case of an open or short circuit of the detonationsensor harness. the timing is delayed by a fixed
angle (approximately 8” in crank angle) to prevent
knocking.Energization Time Control
While
crankinaIf knocking continues, the advance angle map value
is corrected gradually in the delay direction.
In the absence of knocking, the map value is
corrected gradually in the advance direction. In this
way, optimum ignition timing is constantly control-
led; this control is effective even when fuels of
different octane ratings are used.
This means that the engine is protected from
knocking damage even when the fuel is switched
from premium to regular or vice versa.

IIn order to obtain stable ignition energy, the
ener-gization time of the ignition coil primary current is
controlled as to keep current at a constant value
when the primary current is shut off.
(1) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic energization time
:The increase of the ignition coil primary current
changes with the battery voltage. Therefore, the
energization time is so controlled that the primary
current at time of ignition becomes
6A. The basic
energization time is so set that it is longer when the
battery voltage is low and is shorter when the
6FUO548Energization time clip:
The new two-coil ignition system has its ignition
interval doubled when compared to the convention-
al single
coil type, allowing a longer clip time. As a
result, a long energization time is secured for
sufficient ignition energy even during high speed
operation.
(2) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition coil is energized in
synchronization with the crank angle signal.

A change in barometric pressure, which may be caused by
change in altitude, alters the intake air density, resulting in an
improper air-fuel ratio. To compensate this deviation, the
amount of fuel injected is controlled; i.e., the amount of fuel
injected is decreased to compensate for the lower intake air
density caused by the decreased barometric pressure, or the
higher altitude.
CONTROL FOR FUEL ENRICHMENT DURING ACCELERA-
TIONDuring acceleration at low and middle loads, fuel supply rate is
increased to improve acceleration performance.
FUEL DECREASE CONTROL DURING DECELERATION
During deceleration, fuel supply rate is decreased to improve
fuel economy.
BATTERY VOLTAGE COMPENSATION
As described earlier in “INJECTOR”, the needle valve of the
injector is pulled to the fully open position when current flow-
through the solenoid coil. This means that there is a time I;
between the time when the current starts flowing and when
the needle valve starts opening. This time lag is called the dead
time.
The dead time varies with different battery conditions:: the
lower the battery voltage, the longer the dead time.
Since the injector activation duration depends on the intake air
volume and other factors, a longer dead time means a shorter
activation duration, or a smaller amount of fuel injected. This
results in an improper air-fuel ratio. At such times, the solenoid
coil is energized for a longer period of time depending on the
current battery voltage to correct the valve opening time, thus
ensuring that the optimum amount of fuel is injected.
Fuel Injection Control at Starting
When the engine is cranked, the map value preset according to
the engine coolant temperature is used as the basic injector
activation duration, to which the high altitude compensation is
applied..

For models equipped with the automatic
transaxle.when
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.
