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 pulsed time, speed density, fuel injection system. 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 necessary to maintain correct air/fuel ratio throughout engine RPM range.
The EEC-IV module sends a command to injectors to meter approximate quantity of fuel. System will automatically sense and compensate for changes in altitude and will permit push-starting vehicle (manual transmissions only).
