(3) Fuel Pressure Control
Fuel pressure is controlled by IMV opening according to the calculated value by ECU.
Pressure in the fuel rail is determined according to engine speed and load on the engine. ▶
When engine speed and load are high
The degree of turbulence is very great and the fuel can be injected at very high pressure in order to
optimize combustion.
When engine speed and load are low
The degree of turbulence is low. If injection pressure is too high, the nozzle's penetration will be
excessive and part of the fuel will be sprayed directly onto the sides of the cylinder, causing
incomplete combustion. So there occurs smoke and damages engine durability. -
-
Fuel pressure is corrected according to air temperature, coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure
and to take account of the added ignition time caused by cold running or by high altitude driving. A
special pressure demand is necessary in order to obtain the additional flow required during starts. This
demand is determined according to injected fuel and coolant temperature.
Open loop determines the current which needs to be sent to the actuator in order to obtain the
flow demanded by the ECU. ▶
Closed loop will correct the current value depending on the difference between the pressure
demand and the pressure measured. ▶
If the pressure is lower than the demand, current is reduced so that the fuel sent to the high pressure
pump is increased.
If the pressure is higher than the demand, current is increased so that the fuel sent to the high
pressure pump is reduced. -

1. FUEL SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Use Only Unleaded Fuel Rated at 89 Octane or Higher ▶
Fuel quality and additives contained in fuel have a significant effect on power output, drivability, and
life of the engine.
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause engine knock.
Caution: Use of fuel with an octane number lower than 89 may damage engine and exhaust
system.
To prevent accidental use of leaded fuel, the nozzles for leaded fuel are larger, and will not fit the
fuel filler neck of your vehicle. -
Do Not Use Methanol ▶
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system.
Use of methanol may damage the fuel system. -
Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Containers ▶
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial fueling systems) fuel containers, pumps
and hoses must be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmospheric and fuel flow conditions if unearthed
hoses, particularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel-dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and that
storage containers be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling operations.

1) Starting Mode
When the ignition is turned ON, the ECM turns the fuel pump relay on for 1 second. The fuel pump then
builds fuel pressure. The ECM also checks the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the
Throttle Position (TP) sensor and determines the proper air/fuel ratio for starting the engine. This ranges
from1.5 to 1 at -36 °C (-33 °F) coolant temperature to 14.7 to 1 at 94 °C (201 °F) coolant
temperature. The ECM controls the amountof fuel delivered in the starting mode by changing how long
the fuel injector is turned on and off. This is done by ''pulsing" the fuel injectors for very short times.
2) Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called ''open loop" and ''closed loop".
3) Open Loop
When the engine is first started and it is above 690 rpm, the system goes into "open loop" operation. In
"open loop", the ECM ignores the signal from the HO2S and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs
from the ECT sensor and the MAF sensor. The ECM stays in "open loop" until the following conditions
are met:
The O2 has a varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly.
The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature (22.5 °C).
A specific amount of time has elapsed after starting the engine. -
-
-
4) Closed Loop
The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM).
When these conditions are met, the system goes into "closed loop" operation. In "closed loop", the ECM
calculates the air/fuel ratio (fuel injector on- time) based on the signals from the O2 sensors. This allows
the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7 to 1.
5) Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position and airflow and provides extra fuel.
6) Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and airflow and reduces the amount of fuel. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel completely for short periods of time.
