((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)

fuel injectian systwn. E.C.U; ( ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT )
Apart from three integrated circuits ( I.C. ) forming the main part of the E.C.U., there are in addition only a few
semi-conducting components condensers, calibrating resistors and filters so as to avoid.any interference.
I
The function of the E.C.U. is ,to supply an impulse to the injectors, and to control their opening for a precisely
defined amount of time. The E.C.U. to this effect uses the information provided by all the engine sensors which
translate the operating conditions of the engine into electric impulses.
All the injectors are connected in parallel, and inject fuel simultaneously twice for each rotation of the camshaft
( therefore,twice for each engine cycle ), injecting half the quantity of fuel required each time With this system
it is not necessary for the camshaft angle to coincide with the beginning of injection point, which eliminates the
need for a generating switch incorporated in the distributor.
The injection impulse control is ensured by the distributor impulses. The distributor produces four impulses for
every operational cycle. Since injection only occurs twice in every cycle, the E.C.U. must divide the frequency
by 2.
The impulses coming from the distriLti, are transformated into square waves by the waveform shaper. Since
injection only occurs twice for each camshaft rotation, whereas the distributor provides 4 impulses in the same
amount of time, the frequency of the impulses must be divided by 2 in the frequency divider.
These signals are used to charge a condenser. The condenser discharge determines the beginning of injection
point; the position of the air-flow sensor flap ( which determines the quantity of air drawn in ) being the main
parameter for calculating the duration of injection.
At the multiplying stage of the E.C.U., various correction values ( full load and idling speed via throttle butterfly
spindle switch, engine temperature via the water temperature sensor, air temperature via the air-temperature sensor
located in the air-flow sensor ) are combined with the signals from the air-flow sensor and the injt,ztion frequency
in order to determine the injection duration which is transmitted to the injectors by way of impulses.
The time it takes for the injector needle to open and close depends on the battery voltage.
As the supply voltage increases, the injection duration increases.
The fact that the quantity of fuel injected depends
on the voltage is cancelled out by the fact that the injection duration is inversely proportional to the voltaqq,in the
E.C.U.
The final impulse determines the time during which the injectors are connected to earth ( injection duration ‘supplied
by the output stage ).

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.

CHECKING CONDITIONS
1.
Checking the idling speed must be carried out
on a clean engine on which the ignition and the
valve clearances are properly adjusted and
fitted with a clean air-filter.
2. Check that the throttle butterfly returns correctly
to its stop.
3. Do not load the alternator by switching an any
of the electrical components, except the iqnition
and the electric cooling fan (s) 4.
Run the engine to bring the oil temperature up
to 70 +o 80’ C ( wait for the electric cooling
fan is) to cut in ). IMPORTANT : Use exclusively (I high tension
tachometer ( do not damage the H.T. lead of
the ignition wiring harness ).
ADJUSTMENT
1. Check that the butterfly is not jammed in position
when it is resting against its stop.
2. Wait for the electric cooling fan (s) to cut in.
3. Use screw ( 1 ) to adjust the idling speed to 850
to 900 rpm.
4. Check the exhaust emission :
The resulting amount of CO - CO2 ( corrected CO
reading 1 must be beI& 4.5 %.
In case this reading cannot be obtained, check the
valve clearances, the ignition, the fuel pressure,
the air-tightness of the aircircuit, and the complete
fuel injection system.
5. On (I vehicle fitted with optional oirtonditioning
switch the compressor on, and adjust the idling
speed from 1000 to 1050
rpm, by adjusting the
screw on the auxiliary box located next to the
electro-vol”e.
