ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Marea-Marea Weekend 1596 16v has a 4 cylinder in line engine, with 16 valves, 1596 cc, twin over­
head camshaft and a Marelli IAW 4EF integrated electronic injection/ignition system.
The fuel system differs from the one described for the 1581 16v "99 range" version through the addition
of several variants to make it compatible with the EEC Stage 3 EOBD regulations.
The main modifications to the system can be summarized as follows:
- Engine management control unit with IAW 4EF
- Catalytic converter near the exhaust manifold to take maximum advantage of the heat of the gases.
- Two Lambda senors, one upstream (front) and one downstream (rear) which check the quality of the
exhaust gases and the operation of the catalyzer.
- Adoption of a timing sensor on the inlet side timing pulley.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Foreword
The Marea-Marea Weekend 1998 20v is equipped with a 5 cylinder in line engine with 20 valves, 1998
cc, twin overhead camshaft and a Bosch ME3.1 integrated electronic injection/ignition system.
The fuel system differs from the one described for the 1998 20v "99 range" version through the addition
of several variants to make it compatible with the EEC Stage 3 EOBD regulations.
The main modifications to the system can be summarized as follows:
- Catalytic converter near the exhaust manifold to take maximum advantage of the heat of the gases.
- Two Lambda sensors, one upstream (front) and one downstream (rear) which check the quality of the
exhaust gases and the operation of the catalyzer.
- Adoption of an accelerometre sensor on the right shock absorber turret, used to distinguish between
engine torque variations doe to the uneveness of the road surface and those due to failed ignition in
the combustion chamber (misfire).
- Adoption of a timing sensor on the inlet side timing pulley.
- Multi-purpose valve on the tank to prevent leaks.
- Adoption of raipd attachment connectors for the anti-evaporation system pipes.
- Cap on the fuel filler with an attachment cable.
For further information on the fuel system, refer to publication 507137.

LOCATION OF DIAGNOSTIC SOCKET
The diagnostic socket for the analysis of the en­
gine management system is located under the
junction unit in the dashboard. This socket also
makes a connection with the diagnostic equip­
ment (Examiner or other instruments) for the
other electronic control units on the vehicle.
It is a "standardized" 16-way diagnostic socket
which can be connected to the diagnostic equip­
ment using the "MPX97" adaptor.

Control of injected fuel quantity
The control unit controls the fuel pressure regulator and injectors on the basis of output signals from the
accelerator pedal potentiometer, flow meter and rpm sensor.
The timing and thus the injection sequence are determined when the engine is started up using signals
from the rpm and timing sensor (synchronisation stage); injection timing is then implemented using the
rpm sensor signal alone and considering a injection sequence of 1 -3-4-2.
The control unit inhibits injection in the following cases:
- fuel pressure level greater than 1500 bars;
- fuel pressure level lower than 120 bars;
- engine speed higher than 6000 rpm.
When the engine has warmed up, maximum injection duration (injector opening time) is 1500 ns, but it
can reach 3000 ns during the start-up stage.
Control of injection advance
The electronic control unit determines injection advance mainly on the basis of the quantity of fuel to be
injected.
The injection advance is then corrected on the basis of coolant temperature and speed in order to com­
pensate for ignition delays due to low temperatures in the combustion chamber during warm-up.
The optimum injection point is also processed to ensure driving comfort and emission limits laid down by
Euro 3 legislation.
Control of injection pressure
This control is of particular importance because injection pressure influences the following parameters:
- amount of fuel taken into the cylinders for the same injection time duration;
- injected fuel nebulation;
- spray penetration;
- lag between electrical control to injection and actual injection start and end times.
The above parameters engine behaviour significantly, particularly in terms of power output, exhaust emis­
sions, noise levels and handling.
The injection control unit controls the pressure governor on the basis of engine load to obtain an optimal
line pressure at all times.
When the engine is cold, injection pressure is corrected on the basis of engine speed and engine coolant
temperature to meet engine needs at different operating temperatures.
Control of auxiliary fuel pump
The auxiliary fuel pump submerged in the tank is supplied by the injection control unit by means of a relay
when the ignition key is turned on.
Fuel supply to the pump is inhibited when one of the following condition occurs:
- when the ignition has been turned on for a certain length of time without the engine running;
- if the inertia switch cuts in.
Control of injection during over-run (cut-off)
The fuel cut-off strategy is implemented when the injection control unit receives information that the ac­
celerator pedal has been released from the potentiometer.
Under these conditions, the control unit cuts off the fuel supply to the injectors and restores it before idle
speed is reached.

Control of idle speed
On the basis of signals from the rpm sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor, the injection control
unit controls the pressure governor and alters the injector control times to maintain idle speed stable at all
times.
Under certain conditions, the idle speed control unit also considers battery voltage.
Control of maximum speed limitation
According to rpm level, the injection control unit limits maximum speed by means of two types of inter­
vention:
- as maximum speed approaches, it reduces the amount of fuel injected to reduce line pressure;
- when maximum speed is exceeded, it inhibits operation of the auxiliary pump and injectors.
Control of maximum torque limitation
On the basis of rpm level, the injection control unit computes limit torque and maximum permitted fume
index parameters on the basis of predefined, stored maps.
It then corrects the above parameters using engine coolant temperature and car speed data. The resulting
values are then used to modulate the amount of fuel to be injected by adjusting the pressure regulator and
injectors.
Control of fuel temperature
The injection control uint is kept constantly informed of fuel temperature by a sensor on the return mani­
fold.
If fuel temperature exceeds a set value (about 110 °C), the control unit reduces line pressure by adjusting
the pressure governor, leaving injection times unaltered.
Control of coolant temperature
The injection control unit is constantly informed of coolant temperature by a sensor on the thermostat.
If engine coolant temperature or air conditioning fluid pressure exceeds certain levels, the control unit
performs the following actions:
- It reduces the amount of fuel injected by adjusting the pressure governor and injectors (power reduc­
tion);
- it controls the engine radiator cooling fan.
Control of glow plugs
The injection control unit controls operation of the glow plug preheating control unit to bring the tem­
perature in the combution chambers up to levels that promote fuel self-ignition and thus make start-up
easier.
The control unit controls the operation of the glow plug control unit for a certain time both before (pre­
heating) and after (postheating) engine start-up and also controls activation of the warning light on the
control panel.
Preheating, postheating and glow plug warning light activation times vary according to engine coolant
temperature.
