Injection regulation, general points 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) assigns the required fuel quantity to the engine.

Using the characteristic map, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit calculates the injection period and pressure on the basis of the following sensors and signals:

• Fuel pressure and temperature sensor (B4/25)
• Left and right intake camshaft hall sensors (B6/4, B6/5), intake camshaft positions
• Left and right exhaust camshaft hall sensors (B6/6, B6/7), exhaust camshaft positions
• Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4), coolant temperature
• Charge air temperature sensor (B17/8), charge air temperature
• Pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve (B28/7), engine load
• Accelerator pedal sensor (B37), driver engine load request
• Accelerator pedal sensor, accelerator pedal operation fast or slow (when accelerating)
• Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), engine rpm
• Oxygen sensor elements at left and right upstream of catalytic converter (G3/3b1, G3/4b1), oxygen and nitrogen oxide content
• Atmospheric pressure sensor in ME-SFI [ME] control unit, atmospheric pressure for altitude adaptation
• Correction programming using XENTRY diagnostics

The requirements of the torque coordination function are also taken into account.

Function sequence for injection regulation 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit controls the injection period under the following operating conditions:

• Function sequence for partial load and wide open throttle operation 
• Function sequence for acceleration 

Function sequence for partial load and wide open throttle operation 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit calculates the actuation time of the fuel injectors for cylinder 1 to 6 (Y76/1 to Y76/6) dependent on the lambda control, the fuel pressure in the rails and the requested engine torque.

At the accelerator pedal sensor, about 10 to 90 % slewing range is defined as partial load and more than about 90 % slewing range is defined as wide open throttle.

Multiple injection

Partitioning the injection quantity into a number of single fuel injections, whereby the last can be selected to be close to ignition.

Areas of application of multiple injections:

• Start
• Heat up catalytic converters
• Combustion stabilization at high loads and speeds of < 2000 rpm
• Keeping catalytic converters warm when engine idles for long period

Function sequence for acceleration 

When there is rapid change in the accelerator pedal position, the throttle valve also opens and closes rapidly. This causes the mixture to become briefly leaner or too rich.

To prevent this, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit adapts the fuel/air mixture by lengthening or shortening the actuation time of the fuel injectors according to a characteristics map. This prevents jerking of the engine.
