Fuel injection duration is basically determined as indicated below:

  • While cranking the engine:

    The duration defined below is used.

    • Duration of fuel injection during engine start-up..... Determined according to the engine coolant temperature detected by the engine coolant temperature sensor.
  • During normal operation:

    The duration is determined as follows:

    • Basic duration of fuel injection x Correction factors + Voltage correction time
    • Basic duration of fuel injection..... The basic length of time fuel is injected. This is determined by two factors - the amount of intake air detected by the air flow sensor and the engine speed monitored by the crankshaft position sensor.
    • Correction factors..... See the next section.
    • Voltage correction time..... This is added to compensate for the time lag before operation of injector that results from variation in the battery voltage.
