Fuel
03AOOlOThe fuel supply system comprises electromagnetic
type injectors, a delivery pipe, a fuel pressure
regulator, a motor-driven fuel pump, and the engine
control unit, which activates and controls the injec-
tors and fuel pump based on data supplied by the
various sensors.
After being filtered by an in-tank filter, the fuel is
pumped from the tank and is filtered again by an
external filter before it is distributed to the injectors
through the delivery pipe. The pressure of fuel
delivered to the injectors is regulated by the fuel
pressure
reoulator; excess fuel after pressure reg-ulation has been performed is returned to the fuel
tankThe injectors are activated on command from the
engine control unit and inject the fuel to each intake
port of cylinder head sequentially according to the
predetermined ignition order.
In addition, a fuel-pressure control valve has been
equipped in order to maintain idling stability of turbo
models immediately after restarting under high- -
temperature conditions.
The fuel tank is located under the floor of the rear
seat, thus giving it protection in the event of a
rear-end collision. A fuel pump drive terminal is
provided in the engine compartment for greater
serviceability.

cylinder head.
The injector is activated by electric current controlled by the
engine control unit.Wh-en current flows through the solenoid coil, the plunger and
needle valve, which form a single unit are magnetically
attracted, causing the injector nozzle to open and fuel to be
injected.When the current is interrupted, the plunger and needle valve
are pushed back by the spring, closing the injector nozzle.

FUEL SYSTEM- Ermine Control Unit
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTiON
(1) The fail-safe function controls the system so
that passenger and vehicle safety can be
maxi-
mized. in the event of failure of sens.ors or other
parts.If a sensor related to
ISC fails, for example, the
engine control unit is programmed to prevent
sharp increases in the engine speed.(2) The backup function of the engine control unit
ignores the output signal of a failed sensor and
instead uses a built-in program or set of values
so that the vehicle may continue to function. The
operating state when the backup function is
being used, is termed the emergency mode, and
the engine, control unit keeps the engine warn-
ing light ON during this mode.
