4A*2 Fuel system - single-point petrol Injection models
1 General information and precautions
General information The iAW Weber-Marelli single point Injection (SPI) system is a self-contained engine management system, which controls both the fuel Injection and Ignition (see Illustration), This Chapter deals with the fuel Injection system components only - refer to Chapter 5B for details ol the ignition system components. The fuel Injection system comprises a fuel tank, an electric fuel pump, a fuel filter, fuel supply and return lines, a throttle body with an integral electronic fuel Injector, and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) together with its associated sensors, actuators and wiring. The fuel pump delivers a constant supply of fuel through a cartridge fitter to the throttle body, and the fuel pressure regulator (integral with the throttle body) maintains a constant fuel pressure at the fuel injector and returns excess fuel to the tank via the return line. This
constant flow system also helps to reduce fuel temperature and prevents vaporisation. Tne fuel injeclor Is opened and closed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which calculates the injection timing and duration according to engine speed, throttle position and rate of opening, Inlet air temperature, coolant temperature and exhaust gas oxygen content information, received from sensors mounted on the engine. inlet air is drawn Into the engine through the air cleaner, which contains a renewable paper filter element. The inlet air temperature is regulated by a vacuum operated valve mounted in the air ducting, which blends air at ambient temperature with hot air, drawn from over the exhaust manifold. Idle speed is controlled by a stepper motor located on the side of the throttle body. Cold starling enrichment is controlled by the ECU using the coolant temperature and inlet air temperature parameters to increase the injector opening duration. The exhaust gas oxygen content is constantly monitored by the ECU via the Lambda (oxygen) sensor, which is mounted in
me exhaust downpipe. The ECU then uses this Information to modify the Injection timing and duration to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio. An exhaust catalyst Is fitted to all SPI models. The ECU also controls the operation of the activated charcoal filter evaporative loss system • refer to Chapter 4D for further details. It should be noted that fault diagnosis of the I IAW Weber-Marelli system is only possible with dedicated electronic test equipment. Problems with the system should therefore be I referred to a Flat dealer for assessment. Once i the fault has been Identified, the I removal/refitting procedures detailed in the following Sections can then be followed.

1 General information and precautions
General information The
LAW
Weber-Maretil multi-point Injection (MPI) system is a self-contained engine management system, which controls both the fuel injoction and Ignition (see Illustrations). This Chapter deals with the fuel Injection system components only - refer to Chapter 5B for details of the ignition system components. The fuel injection system comprises a fuel tank, an electric fuel pump, a fuel filter, fuel supply end return lines, a throttle body, a fuel rail with four electronic Injectors, and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) together with its associated sensors, actuators and wiring. On pre-1998, 8-valve engines and all 16-valve engines, the fuel pump delivers a constant supply of fuel through a cartridge filter to the fuel rail, and the fuel pressure regulator (located on Ihe fuel rail) maintains a constant fuel pressure at the fuel Injectors and returns excess fuel to the tank via the return
line, This constant flow system also helps to reduce fuel temperature and prevents vaporisation. On later 8-valve engines, a returnless fuel system is used. With this arrangement, the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator are an integral part of the fuel pump assembly located In the fuel tank. The regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure in the supply line lo the fuel rail and allows excess fuel to recirculate in the fuel tank, by means of a bypass channel, if the regulated fuel pressure is exceeded. As the fuel filler Is an integral part of the pump assembly, fuel filter renewal Is no longer necessary as part of the maintenance and servicing schedule. The fuel injectors are opened and closed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which calculates the Injection timing and duration according to engine speed, throttle position and rate of opening, inlet air temperature, coolant temperature and exhaust gas oxygen content information, received from sensors mounted on the engine. The injectors are operated simultaneously (le not sequentially) and Inject half of the quantity of fuel required on each turn of the crankshaft. Inlet air Is drawn into the engine through
the air cleaner, which contains a renewable paper filter element. On 8-valve engines, the Inlet air temperature is regulated by a vacuum operated valve mounted in the air ducting, which blends air at ambient temperature with hot air, drawn Irom over the exhaust | manifold. Idle speed Is controlled by a stepper motor 1 located on the side of the throttle body. Cold storting enrichment is controlled by the ECU using the coolant temperature and Inlet air temperature parameters to Increase the Injector opening duration. The exhaust gas oxygen content it constantly monitored by the ECU via the Lambda/oxygen sensor, whioh Is mounted in the exhaust downpipe. The ECU then uses this Information to modify the Injection timing and duration to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio. An exhaust catalyst is fitted to all models. The ECU also controls the operation of the activated charcoal filler evaporative loss system - refer to Chapter 4D for further details. It should be noted that fault diagnosis of the IAW Weber-Marelll system Is only possible with dedicated electronic test equipment.
