The LH-Jetronic fuel injection system consists of 3 functional sections: ECU, fuel system and sensors. ECU receives and evaluates readings from various sensors around engine. Microprocessor evaluates variations in engine running conditions, calculates correct amount of fuel to be injected, and produces corresponding signals to injectors. It also operates air control valve for constant idle speed by regulating airflow opening. See Fig 1 .
