System Operation

System Diagram:





The Electronic Fuel Injection system in this vehicle supplies the combustion chambers with air/fuel mixture of optimized ratio under widely varying driving conditions.

It uses the multi-point fuel injection system which injects fuel into each intake port of the cylinder head.


This system has 3 major sub-systems: air intake system, fuel delivery system and electronic control system. Air delivery system includes air cleaner, air flow meter, throttle body, air valve, idle speed control (ISC) solenoid valve and intake manifold. Fuel delivery system includes fuel pump, delivery pipe, pressure regulator, etc..

Electronic control system includes ECM, various sensors and controlled devices.


This section explains not only the system related to the electronic fuel injection but also such functions of ECM as listed below.


- EGR control system.

- Idle speed control valve system.

- ESA (Electronic Spark Advance) system.

- Fuel pump control system

- Fuel injection control system

- Evaporative emission control system
