ENGINE FUEL (6VE1 3.5L) 6C-3
Fuel Metering
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is in complete
control of this fuel delivery system during normal driving
conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is
used only to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected
by separate injectors that are mounted over the intake
manifold.
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor measures the
changes in the barometric pressure which result from
engine load and speed changes, which the BARO
sensor converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change
corresponding to the flow of the air drawn into the
engine.
The changing voltage is transformed into an electric
signal and provided to the ECM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the BARO sensor,
Intake Air Temperature sensor and others, the ECM
determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width
feeding such information to the fuel injector valves to
effect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection
system where the injectors turn on at every crankshaf
t
revolution. The ECM controls the injector on time so
that the correct amount of fuel is metered depending on
driving conditions.
Two interchangeable “O" rings are used on the injecto
r
that must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold
and supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the
engine is running. This removes air and vapors from the
fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during hot weathe
r
operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the
fuel rail maintains a pressure differential across the
injectors under all operating conditions. It is
accomplished by controlling the amount of fuel that is
recirculated back to the fuel tank based on engine
demand.
See Section “Driveability and Emission" for more
information and diagnosis.

Fuel Pump Flow Test
If reduction of fuel supply is suspected, perform the
following checks.
1. Make sure that there is fuel in the tank.
2. With the engine running, check the fuel feed pipe
and hose from fuel tank to injector for evidence o
f
leakage. Retighten, if pipe or hose connection is
loose. Also, check pipes and hoses for squashing
or clogging.
3. Insert the hose from fuel feed pipe into a clean
container, and check for fuel pump flow rate.
4. Connect the pump relay terminals (2) with a
jumper wire (1) as shown and start the fuel pump
to measure delivery.




RTW36CSH000201
CAUTION: Never generate sparks when connecting
a jumper wire.

If the measure value is out of standard, conduct the
pressure test.
