Acceleration Mode

When the driver pushes on the accelerator pedal, airflow into the cylinders increases rapidly, while fuel flow tends to lag behind. To prevent possible hesitation, the powertrain control module (PCM) increases the pulse width to the injectors to provide extra fuel during acceleration. The PCM determines the amount of fuel required based upon the throttle position (TP), the coolant temperature, the manifold absolute pressure (MAP), the mass air flow (MAF), and the engine speed.
