FUEL SUPPLY/ IGNITION
Integrated multipoint electronic in-
jection and ignition system: only one
electronic control unit controls both
functions. It processes both the time
the injection lasts (for petrol meter-
ing) and the ignition advance angle.
Type: Multipoint.
Air cleaner: dry, with paper filtering
element.
Fuel pump: by immersion, in the tank.
Injection pressure 3 barMixture metered by electronic pro-
cessing of the data picked up by the
engine speed sensor and absolute
pressure sensor in the intake manifold.
Petrol metering system : a “Closed
Loop” (information on the combus-
tion trend transmitted by the sensor
Lambda).
Ignition order: 1-3-4-2.
Spark plugs:
Modifications or repairs
to the fuel feed system
that are not carried out
properly or do not take the sys-
tem’s technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunc-
tions leading to the risk of fire.
LUBRICATION
Forced-feed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification through full-flow car-
tridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
Thermostat on the secondary circuit
for recirculating the water from the
engine to the radiator. “By-pass con-
trolled” thermostat.
Electrical fan for cooling the radiator
with connection/disconnection, con-
trolled by a thermostatic switch lo-
cated on the radiator.
