GENERAL INFORMATION

The Multipoint Fuel Injection System consists of sensors which detect the engine conditions, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> which controls the system based on signals from these sensors, and actuators which operate under the control of the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>. The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> carries out activities such as fuel injection control, idle speed control and ignition timing control. In addition, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> is equipped with several diagnosis modes which simplify troubleshooting when a problem develops.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL

The injector drive times and injector timing are controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture is supplied to the engine to correspond to the continually-changing engine operation conditions.
A single injector is mounted at the intake port of each cylinder. Fuel is sent under pressure from the fuel tank by the fuel pump, with the pressure being regulated by the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel thus regulated is distributed to each of the injectors.
Fuel injection is normally carried out once for each cylinder for every two rotations of the crankshaft. The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. This is called sequential fuel injection. The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> provides a richer air/fuel mixture by carrying out "open-loop" control when the engine is cold or operating under high load conditions in order to maintain engine performance. In addition, when the engine is warm or operating under normal conditions, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> controls the air/fuel mixture by using the oxygen sensor signal to carry out "closed-loop" control in order to obtain the theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio that provides the maximum cleaning performance from the three way catalyst.

THROTTLE VALVE OPENING CONTROL

This system electrically controls the opening of the throttle valve. The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> detects the amount of travel of the accelerator pedal via the accelerator pedal position sensor, and controls the actuation of the throttle actuator control motor, which is mounted on the throttle body, in order to attain the target throttle valve opening that has been predetermined in accordance with driving conditions.

IGNITION TIMING CONTROL

The power transistor located in the ignition primary circuit turns ON and OFF to control the primary current flow to the ignition coil. This controls the ignition timing in order to provide the optimum ignition timing with respect to the engine operating conditions. The ignition timing is determined by the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> from the engine speed, intake air volume, engine coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

When an abnormality is detected in one of the sensors or actuators related to emission control, the engine warning lamp (check engine lamp) illuminates as a warning to the driver.
When an abnormality is detected in one of the sensors or actuators, a diagnosis code corresponding to the abnormality is output.
The RAM data inside the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> that is related to the sensors and actuators can be read by means of the M.U.T.-III. In addition, the actuators can be force-driven under certain circumstances.

OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Fuel Pump Control
Turns the fuel pump relay ON so that current is supplied to the fuel pump while the engine is cranking or running.
A/C Relay Control
Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C ON and OFF.
Alternator Output Current Control
Prevents alternator output current from increasing suddenly and idle speed from dropping at times such as when the headlamp is turned on.
Oil Feeder Control Valve Control
The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> effects duty cycle control on the engine oil control valve, in accordance with the engine speed. This regulates the supply of engine oil to the intake rocker shaft, which switches the cams.
Variable Induction Control
In accordance with the engine speed, the vacuum actuator is controlled by turning the variable induction control solenoid valve to the ON or OFF position.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve Control
[Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control - Evaporative Emission Control System].
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Solenoid Valve Control [Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control - Exhaust Gas Recirculation System ].
