INJECTOR
An injector is an injection nozzle with the electromagnetic valve
that injects fuel based on the injection signal sent by ECM. 1
injector is installed in the intake manifold of each cylinder and
fixed to the fuel rail. When electricity flows through the solenoid
coil, the plunger gets sucked in. The ball valve is integrated
with the plunger, and gets pulled together with the plunger till
the fully open position so that the injection hole is fully open
and the fuel gets injected.
Voltage from the battery gets applied from the injector relay to
the injector and up to the ECM. ECM turns ON its power tran
-
sistor and prepares the injector's ground circuit. Thus, current
flows through the injector while power transistor is ON and the
injector injects fuel.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-29
FUEL INJECTION CONTROLM2132003001036
Fuel injection volume is regulated to obtain the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the constant
minute changes in engine driving conditions. Fuel
injection volume is controlled by injector drive time
(injection time). There is a prescribed basic drive
time that varies according to the engine speed and intake air volume. ECM adds prescribed compensa
-
tions to this basic drive time according to conditions
such as the intake air temperature and engine cool
-
ant temperature to decide injection time. Fuel injec-
tion is done separately for each cylinder and is done
once in two engine rotations.

[Injector basic drive time]
Fuel injection is performed once per cycle for each cylinder.
Basic drive time refers to fuel injection volume (injector drive
time) to achieve theoretical air-fuel ratio for the intake air vol
-
ume of 1 cycle of 1 cylinder. Fuel injection volume changes
according to the pressure difference (injected fuel pressure)
between manifold absolute pressure and fuel pressure (con
-
stant). So, injected fuel pressure compensation is made to
injector drive time for theoretical air-fuel ratio to arrive at basic
drive time.
Intake air volume of each cycle of 1 cylinder is calculated by
ECM based on the mass airflow sensor signal and crankshaft
position sensor signal. Also, during engine start, the map value
prescribed by the engine coolant temperature sensor signal is
used as basic drive time.

[Injector drive time compensation]
After calculating the injector basic drive time, the ECM makes
the following compensations to control the optimum fuel injec
-
tion volume according to driving conditions.
List of main compensations for fuel injection control
.
[Fuel limit control during deceleration]
ECM limits fuel when decelerating downhill to prevent exces-
sive rise of catalytic converter temperature and to improve fuel
efficiency.
.
[Fuel-cut control when over-run]
When engine speed exceeds a prescribed limit (6,600 r/min),
ECM cuts fuel supply to prevent overrunning and thus protect
the engine. Also, if engine speed exceeds 4,000 r/min for 15
seconds while vehicle is stationary (no load), it cuts fuel supply
and controls the throttle valve opening angle to protect the
engine.
CompensationsContent
Heated oxygen sensor feedback compensationThe heated oxygen sensor signal is used for
making the compensation to get air-fuel ratio with
best cleaning efficiency of the 3-way catalytic
converter. This compensation might not be made
sometimes in order to improve drivability,
depending on driving conditions. (Air-fuel ratio
compensation is made.)
Air-fuel ratio compensationUnder driving conditions where heated oxygen
sensor feedback compensation is not performed,
compensation is made based on pre-set map
values that vary according to engine speed and
intake air volume.
Engine coolant temperature compensationCompensation is made according to the engine
coolant temperature. The lower the engine coolant
temperature, the greater the fuel injection volume.
Acceleration/ Deceleration compensationCompensation is made according to change in
intake air volume. During acceleration, fuel injection
volume is increased. Also, during deceleration, fuel
injection volume is decreased.
Fuel injection compensationCompensation is made according to the pressure
difference between atmospheric pressure and
manifold absolute pressure. The greater the
difference in pressure, the shorter the injector drive
time.
Battery voltage compensationCompensation is made depending on battery
voltage. The lower the battery voltage, the greater
the injector drive signal time.
Learning value for fuel compensationCompensation amount is learned to compensate
feedback of heated oxygen sensor. This allows
system to compensate in accordance with engine
characteristics.

Ignition timing is pre-set according to engine driving
conditions. Compensations are made according to
pre-set values depending on conditions such as
engine coolant temperature, battery voltage etc. to
decide optimum ignition timing. Primary current con
-
nect/disconnect signal is sent to the power transistor
to control ignition timing. Ignition is done in sequence
of cylinders 1, 3, 4, 2.

Control System)
M2132023500212
MIVEC is the system which continuously varies and
controls the opening and closing timings of the intake
valve and the exhaust valve.
System Configuration Diagram
MIVEC allows the optimum valve timing to be con-
trolled in accordance with the engine operation and
the idling stability to be improved, as well as the out
-
put and the torque to be better in all the operation
ranges.
•The ECM assesses the engine operation through
the signals from each sensor.
•Based on the assessed information, the ECM
sends the duty signal to the intake engine oil con
-
trol valve and exhaust engine oil control valve as
well as controls the spool valve position.
•Changing the spool valve position allows the oil
pressure to be divided into the retarded chamber
and the advanced chamber, as well as allows the
phases of the intake camshaft and the exhaust
camshaft to be continuously changed.
