FUEL METERING SYSTEM PURPOSE
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to
control the air/fuel delivery to the engine. Fuel is delivered
to the engine by individual fuel injectors mounted in the
intake manifold near each intake valve.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor
(H02S) located in the exhaust system. The H02S tells the
ECM how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas. The ECM
changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine by control-ling the
amount of time that the fuel injector is “ON.” The best mix-
ture to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 parts of air to 1
part of gasoline by weight, which provides the most effi-
cient combustion. Because of the constant measuring and
adjusting of the air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is
called a “closed loop” system.
The ECM monitors signals from several sensors in order
to determine the fuel needs of the engine. Fuel is deliv-
ered under one of several conditions called “modes.” All
modes are controlled by the ECM. Refer to “Open Loop
and Closed Loop Operation” for more information.
