TYPES OF FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEMS
 HYSTORY OF FUEL CONTROL SYSTEMS

1870s – 1920s: early systems

1930s – 1950s: first mass-produced petrol direct
injection
1950s – 1980s: series production manifold injection
systems
1979 – 2000s: Digital engine management system –
Bosch Motronic in 1979. 1995, Mitsubishi presented the
first common-rail petrol direct injection system.
Common-rail direct injection was also introduced in
passenger car diesel engines, with the Fiat 1.9 JTD.

 Engine Crank

• While the engine is being cranked, the fuel control

system must provide an intake air/fuel ratio of anywhere
from 2:1 to 12:1, depending on engine temperature.

• At low temperatures, the fuel tends to form into large

droplets in the air, which do not burn as efficiently as tiny
droplets.
• Once the engine is started the controller switches
to an engine warm-up mode.
 Engine Warm-Up

• While the engine is warming up, an enriched air/fuel ratio

relative to stoichiometry is still needed to keep it running
smoothly, but the required air/fuel ratio changes as the
temperature increases.
• The emphasis in this control mode is on rapid and
smooth engine warm-up. Fuel economy and emission
control may be still a secondary concern.
• The controller selects a warm-up time from a lookup table
based on the temperature of the coolant.
 Open-Loop Control

• For a warmed-up engine, the controller will operate in an open

loop if the closed-loop mode is not available for any reason. For
example, the engine may be warmed sufficiently but the EGO
sensor may not provide a usable signal.

• The quantity of fuel to be delivered to cylinder can be

computed from MAF sensor measurements and can be
regulated by means of a fuel injector pulse duration.
• The accuracy of the fuel delivery is dependent upon the
accuracy of the measurements of the MAF sensor.

• Degradation of sensor/actuator calibration can adversely affect

exhaust emissions in the open-loop mode.
 Acceleration Enrichment

• During periods of heavy engine load such as during hard

acceleration, fuel control is adjusted to provide an enriched
air/fuel ratio to maximize engine torque and very briefly neglect
fuel economy and emissions.
• The fuel system controller responds by increasing the pulse
duration of the fuel injector signal for the duration of the heavy
load.
• Enrichment of the air/fuel ratio to about 12:1 is sometimes used
and corresponds roughly to a maximum engine brake torque.
 Deceleration Leaning

• During periods of light engine load and high RPM such

as coasting or deceleration, the engine may operate
with a very lean air/fuel ratio to reduce excess
emissions of HC and CO.

• When deceleration conditions are detected by the

control computer, it computes a decrease in the pulse
duration of the fuel injector signal. The fuel may even
be turned off completely for very heavy deceleration.

 Idle Speed Control
• The idle speed control mode is used to prevent engine stall
during idle. The goal is to allow the engine to idle at as low an
RPM as possible, yet keep the engine from running rough and
stalling when power-consuming accessories, such as air
conditioning compressors and alternators, turn on.

• Idle speed is controlled by using an electronically controlled

throttle bypass valve which allows air to flow around the
throttle plate and produces the same effect as if the throttle
had been slightly opened such that sufficient air flows to
maintain engine operation.
