Fuel Injection System - TBI: Description

The Throttle Body Injection (TBI) system is a single injector system that introduces fuel into throttle body from above throttle plate. Fuel injector, located within throttle body, is controlled by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

The ECU is a sealed microprocessor that receives input signals from several sensors and other related engine components. Based on these inputs, ECU generates output signals that control and adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing as necessary for proper engine performance.

ECU also controls engine idle speed, emission control systems, upshift indicator light (manual transmission only), and A/C compressor clutch.
