Among rapidly changing new technologies concerning vehicles, the basics of fuel systems are still important and play us great a role as ever. The purpose of the fuel system in vehicle is to provide a vaporized mixture of fuel and air to the engine for combustion. The ratio of fuel air must always be maintained in correct proportion, regardless of the speed and the load on the engine. But due to the varying conditions of temperatures engine speed and load on the engine the required perfection in carbonation is difficult to attain Electronic Fuel Injection system makes it possible to obtain the appropriate air fuel ratio in accordance with the condition of the engine concerned.
In electronic fuel injection (FFI) system the controller is an electronic control module (E.C.M) or electronic control unit (E.C.U). It is also called on board computer because it is on board the car. (Also called Electronic Control Module).
Various components of the engine and fuel system send electric signals to the E.C.M. The E.C.M continuously calculates how much fuel to inject. It then opens the fuel injectors so the proper amount of fuel sprays out to produce the desired air fuel ratio. Sensors that report to the E.C.M include.
1. Engine speed
2. Throttle position
3. Intake manifold vacuum or manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
4. Engine coolant temperature
5. Amount and temperature of air entering engine
6. Amount of oxygen in exhaust gas
7. Atmospheric pressure
The ECM continuously receives all this information or data. The ECM checks this data with other data stored in look up tables in its memory. Then ECM decides when to open the injectors and for how long. The opening and closing of an injector to remain open is the injector pulse width. Suppose if more fuel is needed then the ECM increases the pulse width.
