fire1 injc ctiwt systettt.
((L-JETRONIC,,
The H L-Jetronic 1) system is’an intermittent low-pressure injection system which injects petrol into the inlet
manifold.
The system measures the quantity of air drawn in by the engine. which is the main parameter for calculating
the amount of fuel. to be injected. The metering of the fuel is carried out by electro-magnetically triggered
injectors. These are under constant fuel pressure. The quantity of fuel injected is proportional to the duration
of injection. which in turn is optimally determined for any given engin& operating condition by an electronic
control unit ( E.C.U. ) from information supplied by several electric sensors.
One of the principal contributions of the H L-Jetronic H system is the reduction in the level of pollution of the
exhaust emissions.
The (( L-Jetronic v system is made up of the following components :
1
: Electric fuel pump
2 : Fuel filter
3 : Thermal switch
4 :, Double relay
5 : Electronic control unit ( E.C.U. )
6 : Supplementary air control
7 : Pressure regulator
8 : Injectors
9 : Cold-start injector
10. Idling speed adjustment screw
11 : Air-flow sensor ( with incorporated air temperature sensor )
12 : Switch on throttle butterfly spindle
13 : Additional resistors for the injectors (8)

OPERATION No MA.IE. 144 - 00 : Churacteristics o/ the H L-Jetronic )) electronic
/uel injectian .system. FUEL CIRCUIT
A multiple roller-valve pump ( 2 ) draws the fuel from tank ( 1) and provides the injection pressure,
A filter (4) is fitted to the system.
In the fuel return pipe, the pressure regulator ( 3) maintains, under fuel load! a relative constant fuel pressure of
2 bars ( 29 ‘psi ).
The pressure regulator is connected to the intake manifold by a flexible pipe0 This allows the difference of
pressure betw.een the fuel and the inlet manifold to remain constant.Thus the necessary quantity of fuel delivered
by the injectors ( 5) depends exclusively on its duration of opening.

/uel iujectian system. AIR-FLOW SENSOR ( 1) :
The role of the air-flow sensor is to supply the E.C.U. with a signal proportional in voltage to the quantity of air
drawn in.
With the engine running, the sensor flap is maintained at an angular position determined by the intensity of the-air- ,
flow, against the resistive action of a spiral spring. The resistance to deflection of the sensor flap, produced by the
spiral spring, is calculated so as to compensate for any mechanical friction ( bearings, bushes ) and to limit the
pressure drop at the flap.
The movement of the sensor flap is damped by a blade rigidly attached to it. This damping blade rotates inside a
housing in which it is a close fit. The operating clearance determines the degree of damping. The use of a damping
blade cancels the effects on the angular position of the sensor flap of pressure variation’s in the inlet collector.
A potentiometer, actuated by the sensor flap spindle, transforms movement of the sensor flap into an electrical circuit which is transtiitted to the E.C.U.. The voltage of the electrical ‘current is inversely proportional to the
amount of air drawn-in.
In order to cancel the effects of any combustion taking place in the inlet manifold, a one-way valve is incorporated in the sensor flap.
Thanks to a by-pass channel, a small quantity of the air drawn ,in by-passes the sensor flap. This offers the possibility
of determining the air/lfuel mixture at idling speed by’varying the diameter of the by-pass channel, since the air going
through the by-pass is not measured. The switch for the pump ( engine running ) and the air temperature sensor are
located in the air-flow sensor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine INJECTORS ( i ) :
Each cylinder is supplied by an electro-magnetically controlled injector which is fitted in the inlet duct;
the injector vaporises the fuel upstream of the inlet valve. In the case of the (( L-Jetronic )) system. all the
injectors operate simultaneously. However, in order to ensure regular fuel supply to the cylinders, there are
two injections for each rotation of the camshaft, each one supplying half the metered quantity of fuel required I
for the complete engine cycle.
The injector consists of a valve housing and an injector needle fitted with a magnetic core. The mobile magnetic
/
core is in one piece with the needle which in turn is compressed against the air-tight injector housing seat by
a helicoidal spring. At the rear end of the injector, there is a solenoid. and at the front a guide for the injector
needle.
Impulses coming from the E.C.U. create a magnetic.field in the solenoid; the magnetic core is attracted, and the
needle lifts off its seat the fuel under pressure is free to pass through, The movement of the magnetic core is
approximately 0.15 mm.
The duration of opening is determined by the E.C.U. as a function of the operating conditions of the engine at the
moment in question{. TEMPERATURE SENSORS t(
When the engine is started, for a temperature of approximately - 20” C, it needs two to three times more fuel than
when it has reached normal operating temperature. The enrichment of the mixture must be reduced as the engine
warms up, and must cease as soon as the engine has reached normal operating temperature. In’order to start off
this regulating procedure, the engine temperature must be communicated to the E.C.U. ( Electronic Control Unit ).
This is the object .of the temperature sensors.
The temperature sensor consists of a hollow threaded rod in which is located an NTC Thermistor made in semi-
conducting material. The letters .NTC, which signify (( negative temperature coefficient )) characterise its specific
property : its electrical resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
The (( L-Jetronic 1) system is fitted with.a water temperature sensor ( 2) and an air temperature sensor, the latter
situated in the air-flow sensor.
