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.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU
will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
6D2-2 IGNITION SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
General Description
Ignition is done by the electronic ignition (El) that directly
fires the spark plugs from ignition coils through spark
plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition
coils for the cylinders having different phases by 360
(No.1 and No.4, No.2 and No.5, No.3 and No.6) are
fired simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less
energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the ignition
coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on
compression stroke. After additional 360rotation,
respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils, crankshaft position
sensor, engine control module (ECM) and othe
r
components.
The ignition coils are connected with the ECM.
The ECM turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils,
and also it controls the ignition timing.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates
the crankshaft position sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing o
f
each ignition coil to the ECM.
Further, the El employs ignition control (IC) to control
similar to a distributor system.
Diagnosis
Refer to Section Drivability and Emissions for the
diagnosis to electronic ignition system (El system).
