BASIC MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is
determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the
length of time the valve remains open (injection
pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a
program value in the ECM memory. The program
value is preset by engine operating conditions.
These conditions are determined by input signals
(for engine speed and intake air) from both the
camshaft position sensor and the mass air flow
sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION
INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
The amount of fuel injected is compensated for to
improve engine performance. This will be made
under various operating conditions as listed below.

lDuring warm-up
lWhen starting the engine
lDuring acceleration
lHot-engine operation
lHigh-load, high-speed operation
lWhen swirl control valve operates

lDuring deceleration
lDuring high-engine speed operation
lExtremely high-engine coolant temperature
ENGINE AND EMISSION BASIC CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONKA

MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTROL
The mixture ratio feedback system provides the best air-fuel
mixture ratio for driveability and emission control. The three way
catalyst can then better reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. This
system uses a heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold to
monitor if the engine is rich or lean. The ECM adjusts the injec-
tion pulse width according to the sensor voltage signal. For more
information about heated oxygen sensor, refer to page EC-123.
This maintains the mixture ratio within the range of stoichiomet-
ric (ideal air-fuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
OPEN LOOP CONTROL
The open loop system condition refers to when the ECM detects
any of the following conditions. Feedback control stops in order
to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.
lDeceleration and acceleration
lHigh-load, high-speed operation
lEngine idling
lMalfunction of heated oxygen sensor or its circuit
lInsufficient activation of heated oxygen sensor at low engine
coolant temperature
lHigh-engine coolant temperature
lDuring warm-up
lWhen starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONTROL
The mixture ratio feedback control system monitors the mixture
ratio signal transmitted from the heated oxygen sensor. This
feedback signal is then sent to the ECM. The ECM controls the
basic mixture ratio as close to the theoretical mixture ratio as
possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily con-
trolled as originally designed. Both Manufacturing differences
(i.e. mass air flow sensor hot wire) and characteristic changes
during operation (i.e. injector clogging) directly affect mixture
ratio.
Accordingly, the difference between the basic and theoretical
mixture ratios is monitored in this system. This is then computed
in terms of ``injection pulse duration'' to automatically compen-
sate for the difference between the two ratios.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Two types of systems are used.
Sequential multiport fuel injection system
Fuel is injected into each cylinder during each engine cycle
according to the firing order. This system is used when the
engine is running.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best
air-fuel ratio for every running condition of the engine.
The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM. This data forms the
map shown left.
The ECM detects information such as the injection pulse width
and camshaft position sensor signal. Responding to this
information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transis-
tor.
e.g. N: 1,800 rpm, Tp: 1.50 msec
A ÉBTDC
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by
the ECM according to the other data stored in the ECM.
1 At starting
2 During warm-up
3 At idle
4 When swirl control valve operates
5 Hot-engine operation
6 At acceleration

cEngine speed
If the engine speed is above 3,500 rpm with no load (for
example, in neutral and engine speed over 3,500 rpm) fuel will
be cut off after some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut
off varies based on engine speed.
Fuel cut will operate until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm,
then fuel cut is cancelled.
NOTE:
This function is different than deceleration control listed
under multiport fuel injection on EC-14.
