DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Hot Wire Multiport Fuel Injection
The 'Hot Wire' Multiport fuel injection system derives
its name from the mass air flow sensor which uses
one cold wire and one electrically heated wire to
measure the volume of air entering the engine.
The function of the system is to supply the exact
amount of fuel directly into the intake manifold
according to the prevailing engine operating
conditions.
To monitor these conditions, various sensors are fitted
to the engine to measure engine parameters. Data
from the sensors is received by the Engine control
module (ECM), the ECM will then determine the exact
amount of fuel required at any condition.
The ECM having received data from the sensors
produces pulses, the length of which will determine
the simultaneous open time of each bank of injectors
in turn, which will govern the amount of fuel injected.
Engine control module - ECM
The Multiport fuel injection system is controlled by the
14 CUX Engine Control Module comprising of a
microprocessor with integrated circuits and
components mounted on printed circuit boards. The
ECM is connected to the main harness by a 40 pin
plug.
Injectors
The eight fuel injectors are fitted between the
pressurized fuel rail and inlet manifold. Each injector
comprises a solenoid operated needle valve with a
movable plunger rigidly attached to the nozzle valve.
When the solenoid is energized the plunger is
attracted off its seat and allows pressurized fuel into
the intake manifold.Engine coolant temperature sensor
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located in
the front of the thermostat housing. The sensor
provides engine coolant information to the ECM. The
ECM increases the injector opening time when cold to
provide improved driveability, and reduces the
opening time as the engine reaches normal operating
temperature.
Engine fuel temperature sensor
The engine fuel temperature sensor is located in the
rail on the RH side of the ram housing. The sensor
sends fuel temperature data to the ECM, the ECM on
receiving the data will adjust the injector open time
accordingly to produce good hot starting in high
ambient temperatures.
Idle air control valve
The idle air control valve is screwed into a housing
attached to the rear of the plenum chamber, between
the plenum chamber and bulkhead. The idle air
control valve has two windings which enable the
motor to be energised in both directions thus opening
or closing the air valve as required by the ECM.
The idle air control valve will open and allow extra air
into the plenum chamber to maintain engine idle
speed when the engine is under increased (Electrical
and Mechanical) loads.
The idle air control valve will control engine idle speed
when the vehicle is stationary.
Heated oxygen sensors (0
2sensors) - Catalyst
vehicles
The two heated oxygen sensors are located forward
of the catalysts mounted in the exhaust downpipes.
The sensors monitor the oxygen content of the
exhaust gases and provide feedback information of
the air/fuel ratio to the ECM. Each sensor is heated by
an electrical element to improve its response time
when the ignition is switched on.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Tune select resistor -
To suit individual market requirements a tune select
resistor is connected across pins 5 and 27 of the
ECM.
It is located adjacent to the ECM, and strapped to the
MFI cable assembly. The value of the resistor is
dependent on the market application:
Red wire, 180 ohms, Australia, Rest of world.
Green wire, 470 Ohms, UK and Europe - non catalyst.
Yellow wire 910 Ohms, Saudi non catalyst.
White wire, 3K9 Ohms, European catalyst
Condenser fans
It should be noted that under high coolant
temperatures, when the engine is switched off, the
condenser fans will be activated and will run for
approximately ten minutes.Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the side of the
Transfer box adjacent to the parking brake. The
sensor provides road speed data to the ECM. The
ECM in turn detects vehicle movement from the road
speed input and ensures that idle air control mode is
disengaged. Should the vehicle speed sensor fail in
service the ECM idle air control would become erratic.
The sensor also provides road speed data to the
electric speedometer and cruise control ECU.
Inertia fuel shutoff switch
The inertia fuel shutoff switch is a mechanically
operated switch, located on the bulkhead adjacent to
the washer reservoir under bonnet [hood].
The switch is normally closed and is in line with the
fuel pump. In the event of a sudden impact the switch
opens, and disconnects the electrical feed to the fuel
pump. The switch is reset by pressing down the
button.
WARNING: Check the integrity of the fuel
system before the inertia switch is reset.
Relay modules
The two multiport fuel injection relays are located in
the RH footwell area behind the 'A' post panel. The
main relay module is energized via the ECM when the
ignition is switched on and supplies current to the
multiport fuel injection system. The fuel pump relay
module is energized by the ECM which in turn
operates the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system.

WARNING: Under normal operating
conditions the Multiport fuel injection
system is pressurised by a high pressure
fuel pump, operating at up to 2.3 to 2.5 bar When
engine is stationary pressure is maintained within
system. To prevent pressurised fuel escaping and
to avoid personal injury it is necessary to
depressurise multiport fuel injection system
before any service operations are carried out.
If vehicle has not been run there will be a small
amount of residual pressure in fuel line. The
depressurising procedure must still be carried out
before disconnecting any component within the
fuel system.
The spilling of fuel is unavoidable during this
operation. Ensure that all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent fire and explosion.
1.Remove fuel pump relay module.
See
Multiport Fuel Injection Relays
2.Start and run engine.
3.When sufficient fuel has been used to cause fuel
line pressure to drop, injectors will become
inoperative, resulting in engine stall. Switch off
ignition.

NOTE: Fuel at low pressure will remain in
system. To remove low pressure fuel,
