GENERAL INFORMATION
FUEL SUPPLY13B-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2134000100833.The fuel system consists of the following compo-
nents:
•Fuel injector
•Fuel rail
•Fuel pipe
•Fuel tank
•Fuel pump module
•Evaporative emission canister
SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
This fuel system is designed with consideration for
global environment protection to ensure safety at a
collision, reduce weight, and improve reliability and
quality. This system has the following features:
•A quick-joint connector of a plastic tube is used
for the fuel high-pressure hoses in the engine
compartment to reduce the permeation of fuel
evaporative emission.
•The surface of underfloor fuel pipes is coated
with 1-mm thickness of plastic to improve resis
-
tance to corrosion and chipping.
•A returnless fuel system eliminates returned fuel
from the engine. The heat that fuel receives from
the engine is reduced, minimizing fuel tempera
-
ture in the fuel tank and controlling the amount of
evaporated gas.

SENSOR
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-20
FUEL TANK DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
The fuel tank differential pressure sensor is installed to the fuel
pump module. The fuel tank differential pressure sensor out
-
puts the voltage to the ECM using the piezo resistive semicon-
ductor in accordance with the difference between pressure in
the fuel tank and the pressure of the atmosphere. When moni
-
toring the evaporative leak, the ECM detects malfunctions of
the evaporative emission control system by monitoring the
amount of output voltage changes from this sensor. The sensor
characteristics are as shown in the diagram.
.
FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The fuel tank temperature sensor is installed to the fuel pump
module. The fuel tank temperature sensor detects the tempera
-
ture inside the fuel tank using the resistance change in the ther-
mistor and outputs the voltage to the ECM in accordance with
the temperature inside the fuel tank. The ECM monitors the
evaporative leak in accordance with the fuel tank temperature.
The sensor characteristics are as shown in the diagram.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-29
FUEL INJECTION CONTROLM2132003001036
Fuel injection volume is regulated to obtain the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the constant
minute changes in engine driving conditions. Fuel
injection volume is controlled by injector drive time
(injection time). There is a prescribed basic drive
time that varies according to the engine speed and intake air volume. ECM adds prescribed compensa
-
tions to this basic drive time according to conditions
such as the intake air temperature and engine cool
-
ant temperature to decide injection time. Fuel injec-
tion is done separately for each cylinder and is done
once in two engine rotations.

CARRYING TIME
M2132027100089
Ignition timing is pre-set according to engine driving
conditions. Compensations are made according to
pre-set values depending on conditions such as
engine coolant temperature, battery voltage etc. to
decide optimum ignition timing. Primary current con
-
nect/disconnect signal is sent to the power transistor
to control ignition timing. Ignition is done in sequence
of cylinders 1, 3, 4, 2.
