Multi PointSimultaneousInjectors receive pulses from E.C.U. twice per engine cycle.
( Corsa 13 NE, 16NE, Astra 14SE, 16SE, 18XE, 20SHE )
SequentialInjectors are pulsed by E.C.U. once per engine cycle as per spark
plug firing order. ( Astra 20XE )
GroupedInjectors pulsed in groups or banks, once or twice per cycle
depending on system design
Single PointThrottle BodySingle injector mounted on throttle body pulsed as per engine
requirement ( Astra 160 TBI )
Operation
Injectors on the Bosch Motronic engine management systems receive battery voltage and are
triggered by the E.C.U. depending on the signals received from the various sensors attached
to the engine. Fuel pressure is constant (M.P.F.I. – 250 to 300 Kpa).
Injector opening frequency (Hz) and duration (pulse width) determine the amount of fuel
being delivered to the combustion chamber. Variations in pulse width and frequency ensure
that adequate fuel is supplied for efficient engine operation.LONGER PULSE WIDTH= RICHER MIXTURESHORTER PULSE WIDTH= LEANER MIXTURE
Pulse rate and width will increase with increased engine rpm and load.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the combination of pulse width and pulse rate, and is expressed as a percentage
of time “ON” and time “OFF” eg. If an injector was on for 10ms and closed for 90ms, the
duty cycle “ON” is 10% and the duty cycle “OFF” is 90%. The total on and off duty cycle
reading should be 100%.
CrankingInjector duration is longer during cranking (richer mixture) for easier startingand to promote warm-up.
IdlingInjector duration is longer at start-up if engine is cold, and graduallydecreases as engine warms up.
AccelerationInjector duration is longer at initial acceleration to prevent “flat spot”RunningInjection pulse is controlled by the E.C.U. depending on the signals receivedfrom the various engine sensors.

Spark timing and fuel injection for DEFITA200 ECU's is
calculated by a central processing unit and are based on:
I - MAP
II - EWT
III - Battery voltage
IV - Crankshaft position
V - Engine speed
VI - Throttle position
The optimum timing advance curves for a given engine are
determined by running the engine on an engine dynamometer
under any combination of the above-mentioned conditions.
This process is known as mapping the engine. The mapping is
further refined by extensive driving tests.
The mapped data regarding the engine is stored in a ROM
(Read Only Memory) within the ECU.
The following processes take place when calculating the
advance angle:
I - engine speed and crankshaft position measurement
II - engine load measurement
III - advance angle look-up
IV - ignition firing delay calculation

Dwell time is the time during which the battery voltage must
be applied to the ignition coil's primary winding prior to
an ignition pulse. The correct dwell time is important to
ensure constant spark energy.
The correct dwell time depends on the battery voltage. A
look-up matrix contains dwell time versus battery voltage.
The prevailing battery voltage is measured and compared with
the voltages stored in the dwell look-up matrix. The corre-
sponding dwell time is used to energise the ignition coil.
6.7 Engine water temperature measurement
EWT measurement is accomplished by a NTC (Negative
Temperature Coefficient) sensor mounted on the engine block.
The base advance angles are increased with decreasing
engine temperatures. This is necessary because it takes
longer to reach maximum cylinder pressure after ignition
when an engine is cold. Typical additional advance required
for an engine at -20ø Celsius ranges from 3ø to 8ø with
respect to an engine operating at 100ø Celsius.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Volumetric efficiency depends mainly on the:
a) Inlet valve and camshaft design
b) Inlet manifold design
c) Engine speed
The volumetric efficiency is normally less than one (1) and
has the effect that the actual air mass entering the cylin-
der will be less than the measured value.
Peak volumetric efficiency co-insides with the engine speed
where the maximum torque is developed.
7.4 FUEL METERING
Now that a method has been established to determine the air
mass entering the engine it is possible to calculate the
quantity of fuel to be injected to achieve the required A/F
ratio. An electric fuel pump delivers fuel at a constant
pressure to the injector which is opened for the required
injection duration. The fuel pressure is regulated by a
mechanical pressure regulator.
The fuel mass to be injected is:
Fm = Am/(A/F) Where Fm = Fuel mass
Am = Air mass
Since the fuel is injected in bursts it is necessary to know
the fuel flow rate of the injector, pump and regulator
system, as well as the injector opening and closing delays
at various battery voltages to enable calculation of the
injection duration.
