FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G1>13B-10
FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL
M2132020000069
Normally, the negative pressure in the intake mani-
fold acts upon the fuel pressure regulator to maintain
the fuel pressure at a constant level with regard to
the pressure inside the intake manifold, causing the
amount of fuel injected to be controlled proportion to
the injector drive time. However, if the engine is
started while the engine coolant temperature and the
intake air temperature are high, the engine-ECU makes current flow to the fuel pressure control sole
-
noid valve to activate the fuel pressure regulator by
means of atmospheric pressure. Because of this, the
generation of fuel vapour due to the high fuel pres
-
sure and high temperature is avoided, and the idling
stability immediately after restarting the engine at
high temperature is maintained.

WASTE GATE CONTROL
MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G1>13B-11
WASTE GATE CONTROL
M2132013000078
Turbo pressure used in the waste gate actuator is
controlled by duty control of the waste gate solenoid
valve. As a result, turbo pressure corresponding to
driving conditions can be obtained.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
M2132009000893
Engine-ECU has been provided with the following
functions for easier system inspection.FREEZE-FRAME DATA
When the engine-ECU detects a problem and stores
the resulting diagnosis code, the engine condition at
that time is also memorized. The M.U.T.-III can then
be used to analyze this data in order to increase the
effectiveness of troubleshooting. The freeze-frame
