Fuel is injected into each cylinder during each engine cycle accord-
ing to the ignition order.
STRATIFIED-CHARGE START CONTROL
The use of the stratified-charge combustion met
hod enables emissions-reduction when starting the engine
with engine coolant temperature between 5 °C (41 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
FUEL SHUT-OFF
Fuel to each cylinder is shut-off during deceleration, operation of the engine at excessively high speed or oper-
ation of the vehicle at excessively high speed.

*1: The ECM determines the engine speed by the signals of crankshaft position and camshaft position.
*2: This signal is sent to ECM via the CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
 Based on a signal transmitted from each sensor, ECM calc
ulates a target fan speed responsive to a driving
condition. In addition, ECM calculates a fan pulley speed according to an engine speed and transmits a cool-
ing fan request signal to IPDM E/R via the CAN comm unication line to satisfy the target fan speed. Then,
IPDM E/R transmits ON/OFF pulse duty signal to electrically-controlled cooling fan coupling.
The cooling fan speed sensor detects a cooling f an speed and transmits the detection result to ECM.
 ECM judges the start signal state from the engine speed signal and battery voltage.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Ignition order: 1 - 8 - 7 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 2
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best air-fuel ratio for every running condition of the
engine. The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM.
The ECM receives information such as the injection pulse width and camshaft position sensor signal. Comput-
ing this information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transistor.
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is re vised by the ECM according to the other data stored in
the ECM.
 At starting
 During warm-up
 At idle
 At low battery voltage
 During acceleration
The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions. If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition.
The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.

*: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases c ontinuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft posit ion, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid
valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to
increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high speed range.
