Injector Timing and Duration

Injector Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic discharge duration at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors to obtain the final discharge duration.

By monitoring long term fuel trim, the ECM/PCM detects long term malfunctions in the fuel system and will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM/PCM provides a rich mixture by increasing injector duration.
