2004 Mini Cooper SFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Injection "Reduction" Time

Reduction Time is required to control fuel economy, emissions, engine and vehicle speed limitation. The EMS2000 will "trim" back or deactivate the fuel injection as necessary while maintaining optimum engine operation.

As the throttle is closed during deceleration, the EMS2000 decreases the injection ms value (fuel shut off) if the rpm is above idle speed (coasting). This feature decreases fuel consumption and lowers emissions.

When the engine rpm approaches idle speed, the injection ms value is increased (cut-in) to prevent the engine from stalling. The cut-in rpm is dependent upon the engine temperature and the rate of deceleration.
