Fuel Delivery and Air Induction: Description and Operation

Fuel Delivery System:





FUEL DELIVERY
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, throttle body (including fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator and air valve), fuel feed line, fuel return line, air cleaner and ISC solenoid valve.

The fuel in the fuel tank is pumped up by the fuel pump, filtered by the fuel filter and fed under pressure to each injector. As the fuel pressure applied to the fuel injector (the fuel pressure in the fuel feed line) is always kept a certain amount higher than the pressure in the intake manifold by the fuel pressure regulator, the fuel is injected into the intake port when the injector opens according to the injection signal from ECM. The fuel relieved by the fuel pressure regulator returns through the fuel return line to the fuel tank.


Air Intake System:





AIR INDUCTION
The main components of the air intake system are air cleaner, air flow meter, air flow meter outlet hose, throttle body, air valve, ISC solenoid valve and intake manifold.

The air (by the amount corresponding to the throttle valve opening and engine speed) is filtered by the air cleaner, passes through the throttle body, is distributed by the intake manifold and finally drawn into each combustion chamber.

When the engine is idling, when it is cold or when the ISC solenoid valve is opened according to the signal from ECM, the air bypasses the throttle valve through bypass passage which varies in each case and is finally drawn into the intake manifold.
