MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION General Information

MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multipoint Fuel Injection System consists
of sensors which detect the engine conditions,
the Engine-ECU which controls the system
based on signals from these sensors, and
actuators which operate under the control of
the Engine-ECU. The Engine-ECU carries out
activities such as fuel injection control, idle
speed control and ignition timing control. In
addition, the Engine-ECU 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. The Engine-ECU 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 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 <if equipped>.
IDLE AIR CONTROL
The idle speed is kept at the optimum speed
by controlling the amount of air that bypasses
the throttle valve in accordance with changes
in idling conditions and engine load during
idling. The Engine-ECU drives the idle air control (ISC) motor to keep the engine running
at the pre-set idle target speed in accordance
with the engine coolant temperature and air
conditioner load. In addition, when the air conditioning switch is turned off and on while the
engine is idling, the ISC motor operates to
adjust the throttle valve bypass air amount in
accordance with the engine load conditions
in order to avoid fluctuations in the engine
speed.

IGNITION TIMING CONTROL

The ignition 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 from
the engine speed, intake air volume, engine
coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure.
SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
D 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.
D When an abnormality is detected in one
of the sensors or actuators, a diagnosis
code corresponding to the abnormality is
output.
D The RAM data inside the Engine-ECU that
is related to the sensors and actuators can
be read by means of the MUT-II. In addition,
the actuators can be controlled under
certain circumstances.
OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. 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.
2. A/C Compressor Clutch Relay Control
Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C
ON and OFF.
3. Fan Relay Control
The radiator fan and condenser fan speeds
are controlled in response to the engine
coolant temperature and vehicle speed.
4. Traction Control
Engine output torque is reduced based on
signals from the TCL-ECU in response to
the conditions under which slipping of the
driven wheels and turning of the vehicle
occur.
Furthermore, reduction of output torque is
performed by closing the throttle valve and
retarding the ignition timing.
5. Evaporative Emission Purge Control
(Refer to GROUP 17.)
6. EGR Control
(Refer to GROUP 17.)

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (FOR YOUR INFORMATION)

Items

Symptom
Wont start

The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion

within the cylinders, and the engine wont start.

Fires up and dies

There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon
stalls.

Hard starting

Engine starts after cranking a while.

Hunting

Engine speed doesnt remain constant; changes at idle.

Rough idle

Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift
lever, body, etc. This is called rough idle.

Incorrect idle speed

The engine doesnt idle at the usual correct speed.

Engine stall (Die out)

The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the accelerator pedal,
regardless of whether the vehicle is moving or not.

Engine stall (Pass out)

The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is

being used.

Hesitation
Sag

Hesitation is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine

speed) that occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the speed at which the vehicle is now travelling, or a temporary drop in vehicle speed (engine speed) during such acceleration.
Serious hesitation is called sag. (Refer to Fig. 1)

Poor acceleration

Poor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to

the degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or
the inability to reach maximum speed.

Stumble

Engine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially

depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Fig. 2)

Shock

The feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the

engine is accelerated or decelerated.

Surge

This is slight acceleration and deceleration feel usually steady, light

throttle cruise. Most notable under light loads.

Knocking

A sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving
and which adversely affects driving.

Stopping

Run on (Dieseling)

The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition
switch is turned to OFF. Also called Dieseling.

2. Driving tests always need another personnel.
Index

*1: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency is sometimes
10% higher than the standard frequency.
*2: After performing a warm up idle from an initial engine temperature of 20_C, if the idle speed is lower than
the standard value then it is assumed that the air volume limiter in the throttle body is defective (even if the
ISC motor is fully open).
*3: The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 rpm or below when the power
supply voltage is 11 V.
*4: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10% longer than
the standard time.
*5: The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 100mV higher
than the voltage at the idle position. If the closed throttle position switch turns back on after the throttle position
sensor voltage has risen by 100mV and the throttle valve has opened, the closed throttle position switch and
the throttle position sensor need to be adjusted.
*6: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes 3 steps
greater than the standard value.

CHECK AT THE ENGINE A/T-ECU TERMINALS

Main
Index

TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECK CHART

1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe (paper clip etc.) to
a voltmeter probe.
13A
2. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the Engine Index
A/T-ECU connector terminals from the wire side, and
measure the voltage while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
1. Measure voltage with the Engine A/T-ECU connectors
connected.
2. You may find it convenient to pull out the Engine
A/T-ECU to make it easier to reach the connector
terminals.
3. Checks dont have to be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a connector terminal and ground could damage the vehicle
wiring, the sensor, Engine A/T-ECU, or all three. Use
care to prevent this!
3. If voltmeter shows any deviation from standard value,
check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related
electrical wiring, then repair or replace.
4. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter
to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

NOTE
1. The standard idle speed has been adjusted, by the
engine speed adjusting screw, by the manufacturer,
and there should usually be no need for readjustment.
2. The adjustment, if made, should be made after first
confirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the ISC
servo, the compression pressure, etc., are all normal.
1. The vehicle should be set in the pre-adjustment condition
before inspection and adjustment.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the data link connector (16-pin)
NOTE
When the MUT-II is connected, the diagnosis control terminal should be grounded.
3. Start the engine and run at idle.
4. Select item No. 30 of the MUT-II ACTUATOR TEST.
NOTE
This holds the ISC servo at the basic step to adjust the
basic idle speed.

NOTE
1. The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower
than indicated above for a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], but no adjustment is necessary.
2. If the engine stalls or the rpm is low even though
the vehicle has been driven approximately 500 km
or more, it is probable that deposits are adhered to
the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to P.13A-81.)
