This document discusses multi-point fuel injection (MPFI) systems. It begins by defining MPFI as a system where fuel is injected into individual cylinders based on commands from the engine control unit (ECU). It then describes the key components of an MPFI system including the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, intake manifold, fuel lines, ECU, and sensors. The document outlines the stages of fuel injection and discusses sequential and simultaneous injection types. It concludes by explaining the advantages of MPFI systems like improved fuel delivery and throttle response compared to carbureted engines.

10. FUEL INJECTORS
The Fuel Injectors are precision built Solenoid Valves,
something like Washing Machine Water inlet Valves.
These have either single or multiple Orifices which
spray fuel into the Fuel inlet manifold of a Cylinder
upon actuation, from a common Rail/Header pressurised
to around 3 bar, fed by a high pressure electrically
driven fuel pump inside the Petrol tank of the Car.
13. ENGINE CONTROL UNIT
The on-board ECU primarily controls the Ignition Timing and
quantity of fuel to be injected. The latter is achieved by means of
controlling the duration for which the Injector solenoid valve coil is
kept energized - popularly known as the pulse-width.
In general, an ECU in turn is controlled by the data input from a set
of SENSORS located all over the Engine and its Auxiliaries
Based on a programmed interpretation of all this input data, the
ECU gives the various commands to the Engines fuel intake and
spark ignition timing systems, to deliver an overall satisfactory
performance of the Engine from start to shut down, including
emission control.
SENSORS
These detect the various operating states of the Engine and the
performance desired out of it. Such Sensors constantly monitor : 1)
Ambient Temperature, 2) Engine Coolant Temp., 3) Exhaust/manifold
temp., 4) Exhaust O2 content, 5) Inlet manifold vacuum, 6) Throttle
position, 7) Engine rpm, 8) Vehicle road speed, 9) Crankshaft
position, 10) Camshaft position, etc.

16. FUEL INJECTION
MPFI: Fuel injection
is done in the intake
manifold, individually
in each of the
cylinders
TBI: Fuel injection is
done slightly above
each throat of the
throttle body.
17. ADVANTAGES OF MPFI
SOLVES THE PROBLEM OF THE
CARBURETOR BY SUPPLING :
a) SAME AMOUNT OF
FUEL MIXTURE
b) SAME FUEL-
MIXTURE RICHNESS
INTAKE MANIFOLD DOES NOT HAVE TO HANDEL FUEL
BUT ONLY AIR
HOOD HEIGHT OF THE CAR IS DECREADED AS ONLY A
THROTTLE VALVE INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE
CARBURETOR IS USED
NO EXTRA HEATING DURING WARM-UP
NO MANIFOLD HEAT-CONTROL VALVE OR HEATED-AIR
SYSTEM REQUIRED
THROTTLE RESPONSE IS FASTER BECAUSE THE FUEL IS
UNDER PRESSURE WHEREAS A CARBURETOR DEPENDS
ON THE DIFFERENCE IN AIR PRESSURE

2. HOT-WIRE INDUCTION IS USED
----- THESE INSTRUMENTS GIVE
INFORMATION TO THE ECU WHICH
DETERMINES THE TIME FOR WHICH THE
FUEL INJECTION HAS TO BE DONE
