Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuel Injection System - Multi-Point: Description
The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is a multi-point, pulse time fuel injection system, with a mass air flow sensor. Fuel is metered into intake air stream, according to engine demand, through injectors mounted on a tuned intake manifold.
An on-board electronic engine control (EEC-IV) module accepts inputs from various engine sensors to compute required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain correct air/fuel ratio throughout RPM range.
The EEC-IV computer sends a command to injectors to meter approximate quantity of fuel. System will automatically sense and compensate for changes in altitude. It will also permit push-starting of vehicle if necessary (M/T only).
