INHIBITOR SWITCH The inhibitor switch’s ON (when “N” or
“P”) or OFF (when
other than “N” or
“P”) signals are input to the engine control
unit. The engine control unit, based on these signals, then
determines whether the transaxle is in neutral or is in a drive
range, and then activates the idle-speed control servo so as tc
regulate the idling rpm.

This relay senses that power is supplied to the pump.
-If power failed to be supplied to the fuel pump during

fault has occurred and stores corresponding diagnosis code
(No. 42) in memory and at the

RESISTOR The resistor functions to regulate the current flowing in the
co,.of the injector.
Because the injector must respond instantly to fuel-injection
signals, the number of windings of the coil is reduced in order
to facilitate current rise when the current is flowing in the coil.
By doing so, the resistance of the injector coil becomes smaller
and a greater amount of current can flow, with the result that
the calorific value of the injector coil becomes greater, and
1overheating occurs.
For this reason, for turbocharger-equipped models (which have
low resistance of the injector coil), a resistor is provided
between the power supply (+) and the injector in order to
regulate the amount of current flowing in the coil.
FUEL INJECTION TIMING (INJECTOR AC-
TIVATION TIMING)
The fuel injection timing in multipoint fuel injection
has two modes, sequential and simultaneous. In
sequential injection, fuel is injected into each
cyl-inder sequentially throughout the entire normaloperating range including idling; in simultaneous
injection, fuel is injected simultaneously into all
cylinders during starting and acceleration.

In sequential injection, the’ injectors are activated foreach cylinder on the combustion stroke of the
piston. The No. 1 cylinder TDC signal is the
refer-
ence signal for sequential injection. The signal
represents the compression stroke in the No.
1cylinder and, with that timing as a reference, fuel isinjected into the cylinders in the order of
No.2,No.
1, No.3, and No.4. The injection for each
cylinder is synchronized with the crank angle
sen-sor’s 5” BTDC signal. Fuel is injected in each
cylinder once for every two revolutions of the
crankshaft.

14-46FUEL SYSTEM- Idle Speed Control
The rotor rotates in either direction by angular step increments
corresponding to the number of pulses coming from the en
?control unit, causing the pintle to extend or retract. As
pintle retracts or extends, the gap it forms between the

between the pintle extension or retraction movement and
bypass air flow rate is as shown at the left.

speeds, the servo is activated the number of angular steps
corresponding to the difference, thereby extending or

adjusts the actual idle speed to the target value.

(1) Basic position
The basic position is preset as a map value Optimized
according to the engine coolant temperature. The idle
speed control servo is activated to conform to this position,
thereby maintaining the optimum idle speed.
This basic position of the idle control servo
diiectlycorresponds to the basic idle speed described earlier.

For models equipped with the automatic
transaxle.when
the position of the shift lever is anywhere other than the
“P” or “N” range, the servo position is increased in
proportion to the load of the torque-converter.
(3) Idle control servo position during operation of the power
steering system
When the power steering oil pressure switch is turned on
because the steering wheel is being turned while
thevehicle is stationary, the servo position is changed to
correspond to the increased power steering pump load.
(4) Servo position while the air conditioner is being operated
When the air conditioner switch is turned on, the servo
position is changed to correspond to the increased air
conditioner load.
(5) High altitude compensation
A correction is performed by increasing the opening of the
idle speed control servo to allow increasing bypass air flow
in order to compensate for the loss of intake air volume
(asmeasured by weight) caused by a reduction in intake air
density due to a drop in barometric pressure at increased
altitude.
(6) “Training” function
A “training” function that enters a value based upon the
engine rpm and the target rpm into the memon/,
andcorrects the servo position according to this value, is
provided in order to obtain an even higher degree of
precision of position control.

CONTROL WHEN THE ENGINE SPEED IS UNUSUALLY LOWThe followi
gcontrols are provided when the engine speecfalls below
i5;D rpm after the engine has been fully warmed-up
[with engine coolant temperature more than
55°C (131”F)].
(1) During feedback control
The idle speed control servo is activated immediately by a
particular number of angular steps which represent the
feedback correction.
(2) During servo position control
The idle speed control servo is activated to conform to
aposition corresponding to an increased number of steps
(46
steps).DASH POT CONTROL
Control is provided to dampen the extending motion of the
pintle from a certain opening degree, thereby absorbing
deceleration shocks.
(1) Control while cruising
While cruising or racing, the idle speed control servo is
activated to further open the bypass air path corresponding
to the dash pot position which is more open than the idle
position.The idle speed control servo is activated in this way when
the following conditions are met.
l Engine speed 500 rpm or higher
l Idle position switch in the OFF position
The dash pot position is dependent on the throttle valve
opening map value.,
(2) Control during deceleration
When the vehicle is decelerated from a cruising or racing
speed, the idle speed control servo is activated to close the
bypass air path gradually from the dash pot position so that
the intake air volume is not abruptly reduced, thereby
dampening deceleration shocks.
The idle speed control servo is activated when either one of
the following conditions are met.
lWhen the throttle position sensor output voltage drops
l When the idle switch is turned on.
CONTROL WHEN STARTING
While the engine is being cranked, the idle speed control servo
is controlled to provide optimum bypass air volume for starting.
Immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, idle speed
servo position control is provided to achieve the optimum
_
position.
