OPERATION
Injection Control
The Digital Motor Electronic (DME) control unit calculates the correct injection time on the basis of the engine speed, air flow, throttle position, oxygen sensor voltage. engine temperature and intake air temperature. The mixture is varied by the opening time of the injector valves. The battery or system voltage is also taken into consideration in calculating the injection timing since the pull-up and drop-out times of the injector valves are extended as the voltage decreases.
Cylinder Individual Fuel Injection (CIFI)
Each injector valve is activated by its own output stage. Each cylinder can be programmed on an individual basis, i.e. duration and timing of injection.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
