Control Modes for SI Engine Operation

 The engine control system is responsible for controlling fuel and ignition for all possible engine operating conditions.
 However, there are a number of distinct categories of engine operation, each of which corresponds to a separate and
distinct operating mode for the engine control system.
 The differences between these operating modes are sufficiently great that a different software routine may be used for
each.
 The control system must determine the operating mode from the existing sensor data and call the particular
corresponding software routine.
 For a typical engine, there are at least seven different engine-operating modes that affect fuel control, engine crank,
engine warm-up, open-loop control, closed-loop control, hard acceleration, deceleration, and idle.
 The program for mode control logic determines the engine-operating mode from sensor data and timers.

Control Modes for SI Engine Operation

 The throttle body fuel injectors (TBFIs) were in effect an electromechanical replacement for the carburettor.
 Requirements for the TBFI were such that they only had to deliver fuel at the correct average flow rate for
any given mass airflow rate.
 Mixing of the fuel and air and distribution to the individual cylinders took place in the intake manifold
system.
 The more stringent exhaust emission regulations of recent years have demanded more precise fuel delivery
than can normally be achieved by TBFI.
 These regulations and the need for improved performance have led to timed sequential port fuel injection
(TSPFI).
 In such a system, there is a fuel injector for each cylinder that is mounted so as to spray fuel directly into the
intake of the associated cylinder (except for direct cylinder injection engines).
