Mono-Jetronic

Jetronic fuel-injection systems have proved their worth in millions of vehicles since they were introduced. This is a direct result of the advantages inherent in fuel injection with regard to present-day demands for economic efficiency, performance and, not least important, cleaner exhaust emissions. The Mono-Jetronic is an electronically controlled singlepoint fuel-injection system in which a solenoid-operated fuel injector injects the fuel at a central point above the throttle valve. It is an economically priced system and is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized vehicles. When driving conditions change, and when the engine gets older, using Lambda closed-loop control, the Mono-Jetronic always guarantees the correct air-fuel mixture. This manual describes the functioning of the Mono-Jetronic.

Mono-Jetronic fuelinjection system

System overview
Mono-Jetronic is an electronically controlled, low-pressure, single-point injection (SPI) system for 4-cylinder engines. While port injection systems such as KE and L-Jetronic employ a separate injector for each cylinder, Mono-Jetronic features a single, centrally-located, solenoid-controlled injection valve for the entire engine. The heart of the Mono-Jetronic is the central injection unit (described in the following). It uses a single solenoidFig. 1 Mono-Jetronic schematic diagram

operated injector for intermittent fuel injection above the throttle valve. The intake manifold distributes the fuel to the individual cylinders. A variety of different sensors are used to monitor engine operation and furnish the essential control parameters for optimum mixture adaptation. These include: Throttle-valve angle, Engine speed, Engine and intake-air temperature, Throttle-valve positions (idle/fullthrottle), Residual oxygen content of exhaust gas, and (depending on the vehicles equipment level): Automatic transmission, air-conditioner settings, and a/c compressor clutch status (engaged-disengaged).

Input circuits in the ECU convert the sensor data for transmission to the microprocessor, which analyzes the operating data to determine current engine operating conditions; this information, in turn, provides the basis for calculating control signals to the various final-control elements (actuators). Output amplifiers process the signals for transmission to the injector, throttle-valve actuator and canister-purge valve.

The Mono-Jetronic system discharges the following individual functions (Fig. 2): Fuel supply, Acquisition of operating data, and Processing of operating data. Basic function Mono-Jetronics essential function is to control the fuel-injection process. Supplementary functions Mono-Jetronic also incorporates a number of supplementary closed-loop and open-loop control functions with which it monitors operation of emissionsrelevant components. These include idlespeed control, Lambda closed-loop
