6ELOO66The above block diagram shows the
fljnctions of the
engine control unit for ignition timing control.
One feature is that the engine control unit provides
ignition power distribution control which is neces-
sary because this engine is without a distributor, as
has been described earlier. By activating two power
transistors alternately, the primary current of two
ignition coils, one for the No. 1 and No.4 cylinders
and one for the No. 2 and No, 3 cylinders is turned onand
off. thus causing the cylinders to fire in the
order of 1, 3, 4, 2.
For ignition timing control, -optimum ignition timing.^--_
_. -.is determined by making preset corrections which
has been for engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature an& other conditions of the ignition
advance angle that has been preset according to the
engine operating conditions. For vehicles with
tur=_.bocharger have a knocking control that corrects tl
ignition advance angle according to the presence or
absence of knocking.
The engine control unit also controls the primary
current energization time in order to secure stable
ignition energy.
These controls are explained in detail below.

6EL0066The engine control unit has the ignition advance
angle value for all cylinder stroke intake air volumes
(engine load) and engine speeds stored in its
memory; this is called the basic ignition advance
angle. The control unit makes corrections in this
value according to the engine operating conditions
such as the engine coolant temperature, barometric
pressure (altitude) and intake air temperature to
obtain optimum advance angle for current engine
conditions. At the engine start and during ignition
timing adjustment, however, it is set to preset fixed
timing.
(1) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition advance angle is fixed at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank angle
signal.(2) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic ignition advance angle:
Map values that have been preset for all cylinder
stroke intake air volumes (engine load) and engine
speeds.Engine coolant temperature correction:
The engine coolant temperature sensor detects the
engine coolant temperature and when it is low, the
-ignition timing is advanced to improve driveability.
Barometric pressure correction:
The barometric pressure sensor detects the
barometric pressure and determines the altitude.
When the pressure is low (i.e. when the vehicle is at
a high altitude), the ignition timing is advanced to
secure maximum driveability.
intake air temperature correction:
The intake air temperature sensor detects the intake
air temperature and when it is low, the ignition
timing is delayed to prevent knocking in cold
weather. When it is high, the timing is also delayed
to prevent of knocking.
(3) DURING ADJUSTMENT OF IGNITION TIMING
When the terminal for ignition timing and idle speed
adjustment is shorted to ground, the ignition timing
is set at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank
angle signal, If the ignition timing does not agree
with the reference ignition timing of 5’BTDC, turn
the crank angle sensor to adjust the timing so that
the crank angle signal agrees with the reference
ignition timing. When the engine speed is approx-
imately 1,200 rpm or higher, however, the timing
advance is according to normal operation and
therefore this ignition timing adjustment is not
available.

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.

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.

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..

(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.

provided in order to obtain an even higher degree of
