Fuel Injection System - Multi-Point Ford Tempo I

DESCRIPTION

The electronic fuel injection system is a pulse time, Multi Point Fuel Injection (MPFI) system. On-board Electronic Engine Control (EEC-IV) system has Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) which receives inputs from engine and vehicle sensors to compute required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain prescribed air/fuel ratio throughout entire engine operational range.

Additional airflow metering is provided on the 1.9L and 2.3L Turbo engines by a Vane Airflow (VAF) meter. The 5.0L Mass Airflow (MA) engine used in Mustangs (California and Police models) uses Mass Airflow (MA) sensor to measure the quantity of air entering the engine.

The ECA controls fuel injectors to meter fuel quantity into intake ports. Injector "on" time is the only controlled variable in fuel delivery system.

FUEL SUPPLY

Fuel is supplied by chassis mounted or in-tank electric fuel pump. Some models use both in-tank low pressure pump and externally mounted high pressure pump. Pump delivers fuel from fuel tank through 20-micron fuel filter to fuel charging manifold assembly.

Fuel charging manifold assembly incorporates electrically actuated fuel injectors directly above each intake port. Injectors spray metered quantity of fuel into intake air. Constant fuel pressure is maintained to injector nozzles by pressure regulator.

Fuel pressure regulator is connected in series with fuel injectors and is positioned downstream from them. Excess fuel supplied by pump, but not consumed by engine, passes through regulator and returns to fuel tank through fuel return line.

On 1.9L, 2.3L, and 2.3L Turbo engines, all injectors are energized simultaneously, once every crankshaft revolution. On 3.0L and 3.8L engine, injectors are energized in 2 groups of 3, with each group being energized every other crankshaft revolution. On 5.0L engine with Sequential Fuel Injection (SEFI), all injectors are energized once every crankshaft revolution. Each injector is energized in sequence with ignition firing order.

ECA determines required fuel flow rate necessary to maintain prescribed air/fuel ratio for given engine operation by measuring quantity of air entering engine. Computer determines needed injector pulse width (period of time that injectors are energized) and energizes injector to meter quantity of fuel.

VAF system measures intake air quantity with vane airflow meter and integral air charge temperature sensor. Speed/density control system uses Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and Air Charge Temperature (ACT) sensor to determine intake air quantity.

FUEL INJECTORS

Fuel injector nozzles are solenoid operated valves which both meter and atomize fuel delivered to engine. Injectors are mounted in lower intake manifold with their nozzles injecting fuel just upstream of engine intake valves.

Injector bodies consist of solenoid actuated pintle and needle valve assembly. Electrical control signal from ECA unit activates injector solenoid, causing pintle to move inward off seat, allowing fuel to flow.

Since injector flow orifice is fixed and fuel pressure at injector tip is constant, fuel flow to engine is regulated by how long solenoid is energized. This length of time is known as "pulse width". Atomization spray is obtained by shape of pintle.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

Fuel pressure regulator is attached to fuel supply manifold assembly downstream of fuel injectors. It regulates fuel pressure supplied to injectors. Regulator is diaphragm operated relief valve in which one side of diaphragm senses fuel pressure and other side is subjected to intake manifold pressure.

Fuel pressure is controlled by spring preload applied to diaphragm. Balancing one side of diaphragm with manifold pressure maintains constant fuel pressure at injectors. Excess fuel is by-passed through regulator and returned to fuel tank.

1.9L & 2.3L Turbo

Vane Air Flow (VAF) meter assembly contains 2 sensors, airflow vane assembly and Vane Air Temperature (VAT) sensor. VAT measures temperature of incoming air.

VAF measures volume of air entering engine. Airflow moves vane which is mounted on pivot pin. Vane is connected to variable resistor (potentiometer). Output of potentiometer, which is connected to 5-volt reference signal from ECA, varies with volume of air flowing though meter.

Intake air volume and temperature inputs are used by ECA to compute fuel flow necessary for optimum air/fuel ratio.

5.0L Mustang (California & Police Models)

The mass airflow sensor measures air flow to intake system. Sensor output is used by ECA to calculate injector pulse width. This sensor has no moving parts. A heated, glass covered, platinum wire is used to heat air flowing through a fixed orifice to a temperature sensing wire. The temperature of the air reaching the sense wire indicates the amount of air which has flowed past the heated wire and through the MA sensor.

MAP & ACT SENSORS

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor compares manifold vacuum and manifold pressures to obtain manifold absolute pressures. Resulting input signal from sensor provides ECA with engine load and air density information. This sensor is located on firewall in engine compartment or on air cleaner.

Air Charge Temperature (ACT) sensor measures air/fuel mixture temperature. Resulting input signal from sensor provides ECA with density correction factor, which is used to calculate airflow and to proportion cold enrichment fuel flow. This sensor is located in intake manifold runner or side of throttle body.

FUEL SUPPLY MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY

Fuel supply manifold assembly (fuel rail) delivers high pressure fuel from fuel pump supply line to fuel injectors. Fuel rail consists of tubular rail or stamping with injector connectors. Fuel pressure regulator is mounted on flange attached to rail. Rail also has mounting attachments which locate and secure fuel injectors in intake manifold.

THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY

Throttle body assembly controls airflow to engine through butterfly valve. Throttle position is controlled by either linkage or cable/cam mechanism. Body is one-piece aluminum casting with single bore and air by-pass channel.

Air by-pass channel carries idle airflow which is regulated by air by-pass valve. Air by-pass valve is controlled by ECA to adjust both cold and warm idle speeds. Air by-pass valve uses solenoid valve to vary volume of idle airflow allowed to enter by-pass channel.

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

Air intake system on 3.0L and 3.8L engine incorporates throttle body and air intake manifold in one-piece unit. Runner lengths are tuned for optimum engine torque output. Manifold provides mounting flanges for throttle body assembly, fuel supply manifold, accelerator controls, EGR valve and supply tube.

Vacuum ports are provided to support various engine accessories. Mounting sockets for fuel injectors are machined to prevent both air and fuel leakage. Pockets in which injectors are mounted are placed so injectors spray fuel directly in front of each intake valve.

FUEL PUMP CONTROL

When ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, EEC power relay is energized (contacts closed). Power is provided to fuel pump relay and to timer in ECA. Fuel pump receives power through fuel pump relay contacts. If ignition switch is not turned to "START" position, timer in ECA will open ground circuit after approximately one second. ECC senses engine speed and shuts off fuel pump by opening ground circuit to fuel pump relay when engine stops, or when engine drops to less than 120 RPM.

Opening ground circuit de-energizes fuel pump relay (contacts opened) and de-energizes fuel pump. This function allows pressurization of fuel system. When ignition switch is turned to "START" position, ECA operates fuel pump relay to provide fuel for starting engine while cranking.

INERTIA SWITCH

In event of collision, electrical contacts in inertia switch will open. This will automatically shut off fuel pump. Fuel pump will shut off even if engine does not stop running. Engine will stop shortly due to lack of fuel. It will not be possible to restart engine until inertia switch is manually reset. To reset inertia switch, depress button on top of switch.

On rear wheel drive vehicles, the inertia switch is located in trunk, on left hinge support or behind trim panel. On Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis station wagon models, switch is located in left rear side storage compartment. It is located near left taillight on 3-door Mustang. On front wheel drive vehicles, switch is located behind trim panel in left side of trunk. On Taurus and Sable station wagon models, switch is located behind access door in right rear cargo area.

3. Check fuel lines and fittings for leaks. If no leaks are found, check fuel delivery system for proper operation, pressure and volume.
4. Check if inertia switch is tripped and reset if necessary. Check for defective injector, sticking Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), or defective Coolant Temperature Switch (CTS).

HARD TO START - COLD

Inoperative ISC motor, EEC-IV diagnosis required. TPS stuck at Wide Open Throttle (WOT), or inoperative injector. Crank engine with TPS disconnected. Check for injector discharge at injector.

ROUGH IDLE - COLD

Injector leaking or inoperative. Check operation of injector. Injector "O" ring seal leaking. Perform injector/regulator leakage test. Check for possible vacuum leak.

STALL, STUMBLE, HESITATION - HOT OR COLD

TPS failure. EEC-IV diagnosis required.

HARD START - HOT

FUEL PUMP TEST

The fuel pump may be activated by grounding the fuel pump lead at the SELF-TEST connector. Use a jumper lead, and ground the "FP" terminal with the ignition on. This activates the fuel pump. (Scheme 60) For additional circuit test information, see CIRCUIT TEST C2, of appropriate TESTING article in COMPUTER ENG CONTROL section.

SELF-TEST Connector & Fuel Pump. Scheme 60

Note. On 5.0L SEFI engine, perform EEC-IV Cylinder Balance Test to check cylinder performance balance condition. See appropriate TESTING article in COMPUTER ENG CONTROL section.

FUEL PUMP PRESSURE

1. Connect tachometer to engine and disconnect ISC motor. Run engine at 2000 RPM and lock speed with throttle body stop screw. With engine running, disconnect and reconnect each injector individually. If each injector causes drop in engine speed of at least 150 RPM, injector fuel delivery is okay.
2. Replace any injectors that do not cause sufficient drop in engine speed. When test is completed and all injectors cause equal drop in speed, shut off engine. Reconnect ISC motor and reset curb idle. Refer to emission control specifications on decal in engine compartment.

2.3L & 3.0L

1. Connect tachometer to engine. Run engine at idle. Disconnect and reconnect injectors individually. If each injector causes a momentary drop in engine speed of at least 100 RPM, injectors are giving proper fuel delivery. RPM drop should only be momentary as ISC will attempt to re-establish correct idle RPM.
2. Replace any injectors that do not cause sufficient drop in engine speed. When test is completed and all injectors cause equal drop in speed, shut off engine. In order to check curb idle, refer to emission control specifications on decal in engine compartment.

INJECTOR CIRCUIT TEST

Disconnect all injector harness connectors. Using digital ohmmeter, check resistance across terminals of each injector. See INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR RESISTANCE table. Disconnect injector bank harness connector, check resistance of injector bank. See INJECTOR BANK RESISTANCE table. Repair wiring or replace any injector circuit not within specification.
