1988 Electronic Fuel Injection
JEEP MULTI-POINT
4.0L Cherokee, Comanche, Wagoneer
DESCRIPTION
The Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is an
electronically controlled system which combines electronic sequential
fuel injection and electronic spark advance systems. Main sub-systems
consist of: air induction, fuel delivery, fuel control, emission
control, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), data sensors and switches.
Air induction system includes air cleaner, throttle body,
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and the Idle Speed Stepper (ISS) moto\
r.
Fuel delivery system provides fuel from fuel pump to the
fuel control system. Fuel system is composed of an in-tank electric
fuel pump, fuel filter and return line. Power is provided to operate
fuel pump through a fuel pump relay located on right inner fender
panel.
Fuel control system handles actual fuel delivery into the
engine. Fuel pressure regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure of
31-39 psi (2.1-2.7 kg/cm
). In addition to the regulator, fuel
system consists of the fuel rail and 4 fuel injectors. On MPI engine,
ECU controls EGR/EVAP solenoid operation.
The ECU is a digital microprocessor computer. ECU receives
input signals from various switches and sensors. ECU then computes
fuel injector pulse width ("on" time), spark advance, ignition module
dwell, idle speed, canister purge cycles, EGR flow and feedback
control from this information.
OPERATION
AIR INDUCTION
Air is drawn into combustion chamber through air cleaner and
intake manifold. Amount of air entering engine is controlled by
position of throttle body valve. Throttle body houses throttle
position sensor (TPS) and idle speed solenoid (ISS) motor. TPS is an\
electrical resistor which is connected to throttle valve. TPS
transmits a signal to ECU in relation to throttle valve angle. This
signal is used in calculations to determine injector pulse width to
provide adequate air/fuel mixture.
ECU controls idle speed by providing appropriate voltage
outputs to move ISS motor pin inward or outward to maintain a
predetermined idle speed. ECU continuously monitors TPS and ISS motor
and issues change commands to injectors to increase or decrease
amount of fuel injected.
FUEL DELIVERY
Power to fuel pump relay is supplied from ignition switch
when in "ON" or "START" position, at which time the ECU supplies a
ground for fuel pump relay. When relay contacts are closed, power is
applied to fuel pump.
Fuel is drawn through one end of a roller-type electric fuel
pump, compressed and forced out opposite end. Pump capacity is
greater than maximum engine consumption so that pressure in fuel
system is always maintained.

other end of hose into a container of at least one liter or more
capacity.
5) Run fuel pump by installing a jumper wire into diagnostic
connector terminals D1-5 and D1-6. Be sure to pinch off fuel return
line or most of fuel will be returned to fuel tank.
EGR Solenoid Test
1) Verify that vacuum is present at vacuum fitting "C" of
EGR solenoid. See Fig. 4. Remove vacuum connector from "A" and "B".
Connect a vacuum gauge to "B".
2) Start and idle engine. There should be no vacuum at "B".
Disconnect electrical connector "D" from solenoid. There should now
be vacuum at "B".

MAP Sensor Test
1) Inspect MAP sensor hoses and connections. Repair as
necessary. With ignition on and engine off, test MAP sensor output
voltage at connector terminal "B". (Marked on sensor body). See
Fig. 5 . Output voltage should be 4 to 5 volts.
2) To verify wiring harness condition, test ECU terminal C-6
for same voltage described. Test MAP sensor supply voltage at sensor
connector terminal "C" with ignition on.

FUEL PUMP
4.0L
1) Remove the cap from the pressure test port located in the
fuel rail. See Fig. 1. Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-34730-1) to the
pressure fitting.
2) Start vehicle. Pressure should be approximately 31 psi (2.\
1 kg/cm
) with the vacuum hose connected to the pressure regulator and
39 psi (2.6 kg/cm) with the vacuum hose removed from the pressure
regulator. See FUEL PUMP SPECIFICATIONS TABLE .
3) Check the fuel pump flow rate. A good fuel pump will
deliver at least one liter of fuel per minute with the fuel return
line pinched off. If the fuel pump does not pump adequately, inspect
the fuel system for a plugged fuel filter or filter sock.
4) Fuel pump flow rate can be checked by connecting one end
of an old A/C gauge hose to the fuel test port on the fuel rail and
inserting the other end of the hose into a container of at least one
liter or more capacity.
5) Run the fuel pump by installing a jumper wire into
diagnostic connector terminals D1-5 and D1-6. Be sure to pinch off the
fuel return line or most of the fuel will be returned to the fuel
tank.
