DESCRIPTION
NOTE: For specifications on Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), idle speed and mixture, and fuel pump output volume, see appropriate article in TUNE-UP PROCEDURES section.

The Bosch AFC (L-Jetronic) fuel injection system is used on all models. However, variations may exist between model applications. This article covers the Bosch AFC system in general, with manufacturers differences noted under SPECIAL FEATURES. For computer control information, see the appropriate article in 1988 COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS section. The Bosch Airflow Controlled (AFC) fuel injection system is an electronically controlled system operated by incoming airflow. Some vehicles are equipped with a potentiometer to measure incoming air flow, while other vehicles use a hot wire type airflow sensor. The AFC fuel injection system also contains a feedback system which measures oxygen content of exhaust gases and maintains the air/fuel ratio at about 14.7:1. The fuel injection system consists of an electric fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel damper, fuel injectors, cold start injector, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and airflow meter. In addition, an air temperature sensor, throttle position sensor, coolant temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, auxiliary air valve, idle speed control valve, throttle body, and electrical relays are used. NOTE: Not all models use all components.

OPERATION ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP(S)

Fuel under pressure from electric fuel pump flows through a fuel damper, fuel filter, injector fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pump(s) may be located on frame rail, in fuel tank or both. Electrical power for fuel pump operation during cranking mode is provided from starter relay via the fuel pump relay (if equipped) and ECU.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator is a sealed unit which is divided by a diaphragm into 2 chambers (fuel and spring chambers). The fuel chamber receives fuel through the inlet side (both sides on Subaru 1.8L) from the injector fuel rail. The spring chamber is connected to intake manifold vacuum. At idle, intake manifold vacuum is high. The diaphragm is pulled down by intake manifold vacuum. Any excessive fuel is returned to the fuel tank. As the throttle is depressed, intake manifold vacuum decreases. The regulator spring overcomes manifold vacuum increasing fuel pressure.

FUEL INJECTORS
A fuel rail links the fuel pressure regulator with the fuel injectors. Each cylinder is provided with a solenoid-operated injector which sprays fuel toward the back of each intake valve.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)

All components of the control system are electrically connected to the ECU. The ECU is a pre-programmed computer which receives and interprets data from various sensors to calculate the amount of fuel required by the engine to maintain efficiency with minimum exhaust emissions. The oxygen sensor informs the ECU of oxygen content of exhaust gases and the ECU constantly adjusts the air/fuel ratio by controlling the injector "on" time. An automatic function of the ECU is to provide fuel enrichment whenever engine is cranked, regardless of engine temperature. This is activated by a direct electrical connection from the starter circuit to the ECU (most models). The ECU is a sealed unit, and no service is required.

AIRFLOW METER
Hot Wire Type The airflow meter continually measures temperature, amount, density, and speed of air entering engine intake system. The meter consists of a platinum wire filament located within intake air stream. The wire filament is kept at a constant temperature above that of air entering engine regardless of composition of air entering engine. The airflow meter sends a temperature related signal to be processed by the ECU. See Fig. 1.

Fig. 1:

Hot Wire Airflow Meter (Typical)

Potentiometer Type This airflow meter uses a movable vane connected to a potentiometer. As air entering the engine moves the vane, the

potentiometer is moved informing the ECU on the amount of air entering the engine. Some potentiometer airflow meters use an air temperature sensor located inside the airflow meter air passage. See Fig. 2.

Fig. 2:

Potentiometer Airflow Meter (Typical)

AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The air temperature sensor is an integral component of the airflow meter which converts temperature of incoming air into electrical signals. These signals are received by the ECU and processed to adjust the amount of fuel delivered by the injectors. The air temperature sensor is not serviceable.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)

A contact-type TPS is installed on the throttle chamber. It converts throttle position into electrical signals to inform ECU of throttle position. Signals are sent to ECU when throttle is fully open or at idle. See Fig. 3. Some models send a specific signal to ECU, depending on throttle angle. The open contacts prevent loss of power

during sudden acceleration/deceleration by signaling ECU of the required fuel enrichment.

Fig. 3:

Contact-Type Throttle Position Sensor (Typical)

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

This sensor provides ECU with engine temperature information relating to warm-up enrichment operation. Some models use a dualsensor element which also signals the ignition computer (if equipped). During warm-up period after a cold engine start, additional fuel is required to maintain engine performance. As engine temperature increases, the ECU decreases fuel enrichment until engine reaches normal operating temperature.

ELECTRICAL RELAYS
The various relays used with the electronic controls of the AFC injection system control power to injectors, fuel pump, ECU, and cold start system. The electrical relays may consist of one component for all relays or a combination of individual relays.

AUXILIARY AIR VALVE

Most models with Bosch AFC fuel injection use an Auxiliary Air Valve (AAV) to shorten engine warm-up time. The AAV supplies additional air into the intake system which increases engine RPM during a cold start. The AAV consists of an electrically heated bi-metallic strip, movable disc, and air by-pass channel. The heater coil on the bimetallic strip is energized by the fuel pump relay. Control of the valve is based upon engine temperature; the air by-pass channel is open when engine is cold and gradually closes as temperature rises. At predetermined temperatures, air by-pass channel is blocked and additional airflow stops. See Fig. 4.

Auxiliary Air Valve (Typical)

COLD START INJECTOR

Most models use a cold start injector which delivers

additional fuel, and a start injector time switch which controls operation of the cold start injector. The start injector time switch limits cold start injection to 1-12 seconds, depending upon engine coolant temperature. When engine coolant temperature rises above a specified point, bi-metallic contact breaks ground circuit of cold start injector and cold start enrichment is by-passed.

SPECIAL FEATURES AIRFLOW METER

All models except Supra, use a potentiometer type airflow meter incorporating an air temperature sensor. Supra models use an airflow meter which has a lumimus diode and a photo transistor. The lumimus diode emits light which reflects off of a mirror to the photo transistor. The airflow meter causes incoming air to swirl into a vortex. When air swirls, it vibrates a leaf spring which has the mirror attached to it. As the mirror moves, the photo transistor picks up the movement of reflected light. The airflow meter sends this signal to the ECU.

FUEL PULSATION DAMPER

All models except Celica, Corolla FX-16, MR2 and Supra turbo use a fuel pulsation damper. The function of the damper is to eliminate fuel pressure surges during vehicle operation.

TESTING * PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *

NOTE: For testing of fuel system components not covered in this article, refer to appropriate article in 1988 COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS section.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)

Do not attempt to test ECU, as permanent damage could result. It is possible to check wires for continuity. The ECU should only by judged faulty after compression is checked, ignition system has been tested and found problem-free, and all other fuel injection components have been thoroughly tested (including wiring). NOTE: AFC electrical systems can be checked by using Electronic Fuel Injection testers prescribed by the manufacturer. Instructions for use of testers must be followed carefully to prevent damage to system.

FUEL INJECTORS & RESISTORS

1) Connect tachometer to engine. Start engine and run at idle. Remove harness connector from injectors one at a time. Engine idle speed should drop 100-300 RPM as each injector is disconnected. If engine idle speed does not drop, check the wiring connector, injector resistance or injection signal from the computer. 2) Disconnect electrical connector from each injector. Measure injector resistance. See INJECTOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If injector is not to specification, replace injector. INJECTOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS TABLE
