Fuel Injection System - Multi-Point: Description
The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is a pulse time, multi-point system using either mass airflow or speed density control to meter fuel demand. Mass airflow system on 1.9L EFI, 2.3L EFI/Turbo and 3.0L EFI engines uses input from mass airflow system with integral air temperature sensor to compute fuel needs.
Speed density control system on 2.3L EFI and 5.0L Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) engines uses input from various sensors to compute fuel needs. On-board Electronic Engine Control (EEC-IV) system has Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) which receives inputs from various engine and vehicle sensors to compute required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain prescribed air/fuel ratio throughout entire engine operational range.
ECA then outputs command to energize fuel injectors and meter precise quantities of fuel into intake ports. Injectors are energized for exact length of time which is the only controlled variable in fuel delivery system.
