RPM SENSOR
The rpm sensor is fitted to the engine crank-
case and faces the phonic wheel on the
crankshaft.
The sensor is inductive type, i.e. it works by
varying a magnetic field generated when the
phonic wheel teeth (60-2 teeth) pass in front
of the sensor element.
The injection control unit uses the rpm sensor
signal to determine crankshaft speed and an­
gular position.
Operation
The changeover from full to empty due to the
presence or absence of teeth sets up a mag­
netic flux change sufficient to generate an in­
duced alternating voltage proportional to the
number of teeth on the phonic wheel.
The peak sensor output voltage value, all
things being equal, depends on the distance
between the sensor and the tooth (gap).

To obtain the correct signal, the specified gap
between phonic wheel and sensor should be
between 0.8 and 1.5 mm
This distance is not adjustable. When the gap

TIMING SENSOR
The Hall effect sensor is fitted to the cylinder head and faces the camshaft pulley.
An opening on the pulley allows the timing sensor to detect the engine timing position and indicate it to
the injection control unit.
The injection control unit uses the timing sensor signal to detect TDC at the end of compression.
Operation
A semi-condulator layer, through which a current passes, immersed in a magnetic field (lines of force per­
pendicular to the direction of the current), produces a difference in power, known as Hall voltage.
If the intensity of the current remains constant, the voltage produced only depends on the intensity of the
magnetic field. The intensity of the field can simply be altered periodically to produce a modulated electri­
cal signal. Signal frequency is proportional to the speed with which the magnetic field changes.
To achieve this change, the sensor is crossed by a metal ring (inner part of the pulley) with an opening.
When it moves, the metal part of the ring covers the sensor to magnetic field and the output signal is
therefore low; Conversely, the sensor generates a high signal at the opening when the magnetic field is
present.
This signal, together with the rpm and TDC signals, allows the injection control unit to identify piston po­
sition and determine injection point.
AIR FLOW METER
(DEBIMETER)
The debimeter is located on the air intake
sleeve and is hot film type.
The debimeter contains an intake air tem­
perature sensor.
Operation
The principle of operation is based on a
heated membrane fitted into a measurement
channel through which engine intake air
flows.
The hot film membrane is maintained at a
constant temperature (about 120 °C higher
than incoming air) by the heater coil.
The mass of air flowing through the measure­
ment channel tends to take heat from the
membrane. To keep the membrane at constant
temperature, a certain current level must flow
through the resistance.
Because this current is proportional to the
mass of air that flows to the engine, it can be
measured with a Wheatstone bridge and the
resulting signal is sent to the injection control
unit.

INJECTORS
The injectors are fitted to the cylinder head
and are electromagnetic in type. They are
controlled directly by the injection control
unit.
The injectors come with a high-pressure sup­
ply port and a recirculation pipe at environ­
mental pressure; The supply port is connected
to a delivery manifold (rail) with pipes de­
signed to withstand the high service pressures.
The injector can be divided into two parts:
- Actuator/spray made up of a pressure rod
(1), pin (2) and nozzle (3);
- control solenoid made up of coil (4) and
pilot valve (5).
Operation
Injector operation may be divided into three
stages:
1. rest position
Coil (4) is deactivated and plunger (6) is in
closed position to prevent fuel entering the
cylinder: Fc > Fa where Fc is the force gener­
ated by pressure acting on the control area (7)
of pressure rod (1) and Fa is the force due to
the pressure acting on supply volume (8).
2. Start of injection
Coil (4) is excited and causes plunger (6) to
rise. Fuel flows from control volume (9) to
the return manfold to bring about a pressure
drop in control area (7). Simultanteously, line
pressure through supply port (12) exerceses a
force Fa > Fc on supply volume (8) to cause
pin (2) to rise and thus allow fuel into the
cylinders.
3. end of injection
Coil (4) is deactivated and causes plunger (6)
to return to closed position. The resulting bal­
ance of forces makes pin (2) return to rest po­
sition and injection therefore ends.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The sensor is fitted to the thermostat and
measures the temperature of the engine cool­
ant by means of an NTC thermistor with a
negative resistance coefficient.
Because the sensor is made using semicon­
ductor technology, the resistance falls if sen­
sor element temperature rises with increasing
coolant temperature.
Because resistance does not change in linear
manner, it is higher at low temperatures than
at high temperatures for the same temperature
increase.

FUEL TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The sensor is fitted on the return manifold and
measures fuel temperature by means of an
NTC thermistor with a negative resistance co­
efficient.
Refer to the previous description of the cool­
ant temperature sensor for sensor operation.
FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor is fitted in the middle of the fuel
delivery manifold (rail) and is responsible for
providing a return signal (feedback) to the
control unit in order to:
- adjust injection pressure;
- regulator injection duration.

UNIT
The glow plugs are controlled by means of a
preheating control unit under the direct con­
trol of the injection control unit.
The preheating control unit contains a smart
relay that sends a return response (feedback)
to the injection control unit, which is thus in­
formed of faults in the preheating control unit
or glow plug short-circuits to earth.

ACCELERATOR
PEDAL POTENTIOMETER
Accelerator pedal position is converted to an
electrical voltage signal and send to the injec­
tion control unit by a potentiometer connected
to the accelerator pedal.
Accelerator pedal position is processed to­
gether with rpm information to provide injec­
tion times and pressure.
The sensor consists of a case (1) secured to
the pedal by a flange, which contains an axi-
ally-positioned shaft (2) connected to two
potentiometers (3): main and safety potenti­
ometers.
A coil spring on the shaft ensures the correct
resistance to pressure while a second spring
ensures return upon release.

- detect a situation of over-run;;
- check the plausibility of the signal
from the accelerator potentiometer
CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH
A switch (2) on the clutch pedal is connected to pin 61 of the injection control unit.
The injection control unit uses the "brake pedal operated" signal to distinguish gear engaged and gear
shift conditions.
PRESSURE RELIEF SENSOR
The sensor is fitted to the intake manifold and
the signal sent to the injection control unit is
used to:
- regulate injection pressure;
- regulate injection duration.

PRESSURE PUMP
The pressure pump is radialjet type with three
radial pistons (total capacity 0.657 cc). It is
controlled by a timing belt with or without
timing requirements.
Each pump unit consists of:
a piston (5) opered by a cam (2) integral with
the pump shaft (6);
a plate-type intake valve (3);
a delivery ball valve (4).
The pressure pump must be supplied at a
pressure of at least 0.5 bars; and for this rea­
son the fuel system is equipped with an aux­
iliary pump submerged in the tank.
The pressure pump is lubricated and cooled
by the diesel fuel via channels and is able to
deliver a maximum pressure of 1350 bars.

INERTIA SAFETY SWITCH
To increase car occupant safety in the case of
impact, the car is fitted with an inertia switch
located inside the passenger compartment se­
cured to the inside of the left panel.
This sensor reduces the possibility of fire (due
to emerging fuel) by deactivating the auxiliary
fuel pump that supplies the injection circuit.
The switch consists of a steel ball, fitted in a
tapered housing, kept in place by the attrac­
tion force of a permanent magnet.
In the case of violent impact, the ball is released from the magnetic detent and opens the normally closed
(NC) electrical circuit to cut off the auxiliary fuel pump connection to earth, and as a consequence the
supply to the injection system.
To restore the auxiliary pump earth connection, move back the seat and press the switch until a click is
heard.
Even after an apparently slight impact, if there is a smell of fuel or there are leaks from the fuel
system, do not turn the switch back on, but search for the fault and remedy it to prevent the risk
of fire.
