tion that determine how the engine controller responds to the various input signals.

There are two different areas of operation, Open Loop and Closed Loop.

During Open Loop modes the engine controller receives input signals and responds according to preset engine controller programming. Input from the oxygen (O2) sensor is not monitored during Open Loop modes.

During Closed Loop modes the engine controller does monitor the oxygen (O2) sensor input. This input indicates to the engine controller whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through the O2 sensor, the engine controller can fine tune the injector pulse width. Fine tuning injector pulse width allows the engine controller to achieve optimum fuel economy combined with low emissions.

The 3.3L multi-point fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:

²Ignition switch ON (Zero RPM)

²Engine start-up

²Engine warm-up

²Cruise (Idle)

²Acceleration

²Deceleration

²Wide Open Throttle

²Ignition switch OFF

The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, and wide open throttle modes are OPEN LOOP modes. Under most operating conditions, the acceleration, deceleration, and cruise modes, with the engine at operating temperature are CLOSED LOOP modes.

IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE

When the multi-point fuel injection system is activated by the ignition switch, the following actions occur:

²The engine controller determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel strategy.

²The engine controller monitors the coolant temperature sensor and throttle position sensor input. The engine controller modifies fuel strategy based on this input.

When the key is in the ON position and the engine is not running (zero rpm), the auto shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay are not energized. Therefore battery voltage is not supplied to the fuel pump, ignition coil, fuel injectors or oxygen sensor heating element.

ENGINE START-UP MODE

This is an OPEN LOOP mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.

FUEL SYSTEMS 14 - 145

If the engine controller receives the camshaft and crankshaft signals, it energizes the auto shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay. These relays supply battery voltage to the fuel pump, fuel injectors, ignition coil, and oxygen sensor heating element. If the engine controller does not receive the camshaft and crankshaft signals within approximately one second, it de-energizes the ASD relay and fuel pump relay.

The engine controller energizes all six injectors until it determines crankshaft position from the camshaft and crankshaft signals. The controller determines crankshaft position within 1 engine revolution.

After determining crankshaft position, the controller begins energizing the injectors in sequence. The controller adjusts injector pulse width and controls injector synchronization by turning the individual ground paths to the injectors On and Off.

When the engine idles within 664 RPM of its target RPM, the controller compares current MAP sensor value with the atmospheric pressure value received during the Ignition Switch On (Zero RPM) mode. If the controller does not detect a minimum difference between the two values, it sets a MAP fault into memory.

Once the ASD and fuel pump relays have been energized, the engine controller:

² Determines injector pulse width based on coolant temperature, engine rpm and the number of engine revolutions since cranking was initiated.

ENGINE WARM-UP MODE

This is a OPEN LOOP mode. The following inputs are received by the engine controller:

²coolant temperature

²manifold absolute pressure (MAP)

²engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)

²throttle position

²A/C switch

²battery voltage

The controller adjusts injector pulse width and controls injector synchronization by turning the individual ground paths to the injectors On and Off.

The engine controller adjusts ignition timing and engine idle speed. Engine idle speed is adjusted through the automatic idle speed motor.

CRUISE OR IDLE MODE

When the engine is at operating temperature this is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During cruising speed the following inputs are received by the engine controller:

²coolant temperature

²manifold absolute pressure

²engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)

²throttle position

14 - 146 FUEL SYSTEMS

²exhaust gas oxygen content

²A/C control positions

²battery voltage

The controller adjusts injector pulse width and controls injector synchronization by turning the individual ground paths to the injectors On and Off.

The engine controller adjusts engine idle speed and ignition timing. The engine controller adjusts the air/fuel ratio according to the oxygen content in the exhaust gas.

ACCELERATION MODE

This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The engine controller recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The engine controller increases injector pulse width in response to increased fuel demand.

DECELERATION MODE

This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During deceleration the following inputs are received by the engine controller:

²coolant temperature

²manifold absolute pressure

²engine speed

²throttle position

²exhaust gas oxygen content

²A/C control positions

²battery voltage

The engine controller may receive a closed throttle input from the throttle position sensor (TPS) when it senses an abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This indicates a hard deceleration. The engine controller

Ä

will reduce injector pulse width. This helps maintain better control of the air-fuel mixture (as sensed through the O2 sensor).

During a closed throttle deceleration condition, the engine controller grounds the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid. When the solenoid is grounded, EGR function stop.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE

This is an OPEN LOOP mode. During wide-open- throttle operation, the following inputs are received by the engine controller:

²coolant temperature

²manifold absolute pressure

²engine speed

²throttle position

When the engine controller senses wide open throttle condition through the throttle position sensor (TPS) it will:

²De-energize the air conditioning relay. This disables the air conditioning system.

²Provide a ground for the electrical EGR transducer (EET) solenoid. When the controller grounds the solenoid, the EGR system stops operating.

The exhaust gas oxygen content input is not accepted by the engine controller during wide open throttle operation. The engine controller will adjust injector pulse width to supply a predetermined amount of additional fuel.

IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE

When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the following occurs:

² All outputs are turned off.

Ä

²No inputs are monitored.

²The engine controller shuts down.

THROTTLE BODY

The throttle body assembly is located on the left side of the intake manifold plenum (Fig. 20). The throttle body houses the throttle position sensor and the automatic idle speed motor. Air flow through the throttle body is controlled by a cable operated throttle blade located in the base of the throttle body.

FUEL SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Fuel is pumped to the fuel rail by an electrical pump in the fuel tank. The pump inlet is fitted with a strainer to prevent water and other contaminants from entering the fuel supply circuit.

Fuel pressure is controlled to a preset level above intake manifold pressure by a pressure regulator. The regulator is mounted on the fuel rail. The regulator uses intake manifold pressure as a reference.

FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY

Six fuel injectors are retained in the fuel rail by lock rings (Fig. 21). The rail and injector assembly is installed in position with the injectors inserted in recessed holes in the intake manifold.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator is a mechanical device located on the fuel rail, downstream of the fuel injectors (Fig. 22). The regulator maintains a constant 330 kPa (48 psi) across the fuel injector tip.

The regulator contains a spring loaded rubber diaphragm that covers the fuel return port. When the fuel pump is operating, fuel flows past the injectors into the regulator, and is restricted from flowing any further by the blocked return port. When fuel pressure reaches 330 kPa (48 psi) it pushes on the diaphragm, compresses the spring, and uncovers the fuel return port. The diaphragm and spring constantly move from an open to closed position keeping fuel pressure consistent.
