“LE JETRONIC” ELECTRONIC FUEL
INJECTION SYSTEM
“LE Jetronic” system
The “LE Jetronic” IS a fuel injectiorl system which injects Intermittently petrol, at low pressure, into the inlet rnanifold
The main characteristic of the device IS to rneter drrectly the air drawn in by the engine, which is the only reference
for the fuel quantity to be injected. The fuel metering IS carried out by electro-magnetically triggered injectors. These
are under a constant fuel pressure.
The quantrty of fuel injected depends on how long the Injectors remain open. The duration of opening is optimally
determined for each engine operating phase by an electronic control unit, from data supplied by various electric
sensors.
The “LE Jetronic” device is composed of:
No.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE INJECTION SYSTEM
II. - INSPECTION AND TIMING OF THE “ROT0-DIESEL” INJECTION PUMP
Raise the LH side of the vehicle and support it on
stands.
Disconnect the battery negative lead.
Engage the 5th gear. Rotate the engine by turning the
wheel.
Set the No. 1 cylinder to the initial timing point,
Fig.1.
(look into the oil filter orifice).
- place cylinder No. 1 valves in the rocking position;
turn the crankshaft by one turn in the normal direc-
tion of engine rotation.
- align marks on the flywheel and on the crankcase
(++I.
- turn the crankshaft back through a quarter of a turn.
Remove either the plug (with a 32 mm ring spanner)
or the inspection plate depending on the type of the
pump.
Refit, Fig II or Ill, according to pump:
- the feeler,
- the support for the dial-gauge.
- the dial-gauge equipped with its right-angled lever.
Finding the pump internal timing point:
- turn the crankshaft in the direction of rotation until
the large pointer on the dial indicator starts moving
in the opposite direction.
- set “0” mark on the dial-gauge in line with the large
pointer.
Checking the injection pump timing:
- rotate the crankshaft by a quarter turn in the oppo-
site direction to its direction of rotation.
- turn back in the normal direction of rotation until the
“0” mark on the dial-gauge has been reached.
- in that position, marks (-1 and (c) should be in line,
Fig. I.
If not, re-check the timing. Timing the injection pump:
- set the engine to the initial trming point, Fig. I.
- turn the crankshaft by 114 turn in the opposite direc-
tion to normal direction of ro’tatron, then turn back
in the direction of rotation to bring marks t-+) and
+-I opposite.
Adjusting the pump timing, Fig. Ill:
Slacken off the injector pipe connections and the 4
attachment points.
Bring the pump to the injection point with the feeler
at the base of V-shaped groove (timing point).
Set the “0” mark on the dial opposite the needle on
the dial-gauge. Orientate the pump casing towards the
engine.
Slowly turn back to the injection point (needle facing
the “0” mark on the dial), by moving the pump
casing away from the engine (in the opposite direc-
tion to engine rotation).
Tighten the pump fixing nuts to 2.4 mdaN. During
this operation, the needle should not move.
Check the pump timing
Remove the timing tools.
Refit the plug, (tighten to 2 mdaN), or the inspec-
tion plate.
Seal the injection pump plug.
Tighten the injector pipe connections to 2 mdaN.
Reconnect the battery negative cable
Switch on the ignition (electrical STOP solenoid exci-
tation) and prime the fuel circuit using the manual
pump (5) located on the filter.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal to facilitate the
engine bleeding and start.
Note: the initial timing point corresponds to:
3.24 -L- 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/648
4.32 + 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/660 DPA pump
4.71 f 0.05 mm BTDC: M 25/660 DPC pump
8531

Raise the R.H side of the vehicle and support it on
stands.
Disconnect the negative lead from the battery
Engage the highest gear. Using the road wheel, turn
the engine.
Set No. I cylinder to the initial timing point, Fig. I.
(look into the oil filler hole)
- Bring cylinder No. 1 valves into the rocking position
by rotating the engine one turn clockwise.
- Marks- and- should be aligned.
Remove:
- the road wheel,
- the wheelarch lining,
- the belt upper protection cover.
Loosen:
- the injection pump drrvrng pinion nut,
- the belt tensioner nut,
- compress the spring of the tensioner.
Remove:
- the pinion nut,
- the injection pump driving belt. MANDATORY: TO AVOID THE PUMP BEING
DAMAGED INTERNALLY WHEN REMOVING
THE DRIVING PINION, PULLER REF. H AND ITS
NUT J FROM TOOL BOX 6028.T MUST BE
USED.
Fit the nut and clamp of tool 6028.T, Fig. II.
Slacken the nut of tool 6028.T until the injection
pump drive shaft starts moving.
Disconnect the electrical STOP solenoid
Uncouple:
- the accelerator cable,
- the fast idling cable,
- the fuel supply pipe,
- the fuel return pipe.
DPC injection pump, Fig. ill:
Disconnect from the overfuelling circuit:
- the diesel fuel return pipe (21,
- the air pipe (I 1.
Push the diesel fuel filter to one side
Remove:
- the spring,
- the injectors sets of feed pipes,
- the pump fixing nuts (3) Fig. IV.
by means of a 73 mm A/F open spanner
and a 6 mm hexagon Allen key.

REFITTING
Prepare
- the pump (see Op. @ MA 146.0/l/
Fit
- the pump with the mounting studs in the middle of
the slots,
- the pump fixing nuts but do not tighten home.
Assemble, Fig. I:
