Fuel Injection TimingNBEC0014S07
SEF179U
Two types of systems are used.
Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection System
NBEC0014S0701Fuel is injected into each cylinder during each engine cycle according to the firing order. This system is used
when the engine is running.
Simultaneous Multiport Fuel Injection System
NBEC0014S0702Fuel is injected simultaneously into all six cylinders twice each engine cycle. In other words, pulse signals of
the same width are simultaneously transmitted from the ECM.
The six injectors will then receive the signals two times for each engine cycle.
This system is used when the engine is being started and/or if the fail-safe system (CPU) is operating.
Fuel Shut-offNBEC0014S08Fuel to each cylinder is cut off during deceleration or operation of the engine at excessively high speeds.

System DescriptionNBEC0015S02
SEF742M
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best air-fuel ratio for every running condition of
the engine. The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM. This data forms the map shown.
The ECM receives information such as the injection pulse width and camshaft position sensor signal. Com-
puting this information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transistor.
e.g., N: 1,800 rpm, Tp: 1.50 msec
A ÉBTDC
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by the ECM according to the other data stored
in the ECM.
IAt starting
IDuring warm-up
IAt idle
IAt low battery voltage
IDuring acceleration
The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions. If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition.
The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.

Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned off.
IWhen the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
IWhen cranking the engine.
IAt high engine speeds.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNBEC00261. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Remove intake manifold collector. Refer to EM-20, ªTIMING
CHAINº.
3. Remove fuel tube assemblies in numerical sequence as
shown in the figure at left.
4. Expand and remove clips securing fuel injectors.
5. Extract fuel injectors straight from fuel tubes.
IBe careful not to damage injector nozzles during removal.
IDo not bump or drop fuel injectors.
6. Carefully install O-rings, including the one used with the pres-
sure regulator.
ILubricate O-rings with a smear of engine oil.
IBe careful not to damage O-rings with service tools, fin-
ger nails or clips. Do not expand or twist O-rings.
IDiscard old clips; replace with new ones.
7. Position clips in grooves on fuel injectors.
IMake sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned
with cutouts of clips after installation.
SEF938Y
8. Align protrusions of fuel tubes with those of fuel injectors.
Insert fuel injectors straight into fuel tubes.
9. After properly inserting fuel injectors, check to make sure that
fuel tube protrusions are engaged with those of fuel injectors,
and that flanges of fuel tubes are engaged with clips.
