DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is mounted in the fuel rail
at the rear of the plenum chamber. The regulator is a
mechanical device controlled by plenum chamber
vacuum, it ensures that fuel rail pressure is
maintained at a constant pressure difference of 2.5
bar above that of the manifold.
When pressure exceeds the regulator setting excess
fuel is returned to the fuel tank.
Fuel pump
The electric fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, and
is a self priming wet pump, the motor is immersed in
the fuel within the tank.
Air flow sensor
The hot-wire air flow sensor is mounted on a bracket
attached to the left hand valance, rigidly connected to
the air cleaner and by hose to the plenum chamber
inlet neck.
The air flow sensor consists of a cast alloy body
through which air flows. A proportion of this air flows
through a bypass in which two wire elements are
situated: one is a sensing wire and the other is a
compensating wire. Under the control of an electronic
module which is mounted on the air flow sensor body,
a small current is passed through the sensing wire to
produce a heating effect. The compensating wire is
also connected to the module but is not heated, but
reacts to the temperature of the air taken in, as engine
intake air passes over the wires a cooling effect takes
place.
The electronic module monitors the reaction of the
wires in proportion to the air stream and provides
output signals in proportion to the air mass flow rate
which are compatible with the requirements of the
ECM.Throttle position sensor
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the side of
the plenum chamber inlet neck and is directly coupled
to the throttle butterfly shaft.
The throttle position sensor is a resistive device
supplied with a voltage from the ECM. Movement of
the accelerator pedal causes the throttle valve to
open, thus rotating the wiper arm within the throttle
position sensor which in turn varies the resistance in
proportion to the valve position. The ECM lengthens
the injector open time when it detects a change in
output voltage (rising) from the throttle position
sensor.
In addition the ECM will weaken the mixture when it
detects the throttle position sensor output voltage is
decreasing under deceleration and will shorten the
length of time the injectors are open.
When the throttle is fully open, the ECM will detect the
corresponding throttle position sensor voltage and will
apply full load enrichment. This is a fixed percentage
and is independent of temperature. Full load
enrichment is also achieved by adjusting the length of
the injector open time.
When the throttle is closed, overrun fuel cut off or idle
speed control may be facilitated dependant on other
inputs to the ECM.
The throttle position sensor is self adaptive, which
means that adjustment is not possible. It also means
the throttle position sensor setting is not lost, for
example, when throttle stop wear occurs.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust throttle
position sensor.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Tune select resistor -
To suit individual market requirements a tune select
resistor is connected across pins 5 and 27 of the
ECM.
It is located adjacent to the ECM, and strapped to the
MFI cable assembly. The value of the resistor is
dependent on the market application:
Red wire, 180 ohms, Australia, Rest of world.
Green wire, 470 Ohms, UK and Europe - non catalyst.
Yellow wire 910 Ohms, Saudi non catalyst.
White wire, 3K9 Ohms, European catalyst
Condenser fans
It should be noted that under high coolant
temperatures, when the engine is switched off, the
condenser fans will be activated and will run for
approximately ten minutes.Vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle speed sensor is located on the side of the
Transfer box adjacent to the parking brake. The
sensor provides road speed data to the ECM. The
ECM in turn detects vehicle movement from the road
speed input and ensures that idle air control mode is
disengaged. Should the vehicle speed sensor fail in
service the ECM idle air control would become erratic.
The sensor also provides road speed data to the
electric speedometer and cruise control ECU.
Inertia fuel shutoff switch
The inertia fuel shutoff switch is a mechanically
operated switch, located on the bulkhead adjacent to
the washer reservoir under bonnet [hood].
The switch is normally closed and is in line with the
fuel pump. In the event of a sudden impact the switch
opens, and disconnects the electrical feed to the fuel
pump. The switch is reset by pressing down the
button.
WARNING: Check the integrity of the fuel
system before the inertia switch is reset.
Relay modules
The two multiport fuel injection relay are located in the
RH footwell area behind the A post panel. The main
relay module is energized via the ECM when the
ignition is switched on and supplies current to the
multiport fuel injection system. The fuel pump relay
module is energized by the ECM which in turn
operates the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION MICRO PROCESSOR POWER CHECK
(Instrument binnacle - Service use only)
As part of the engine starting procedure, this symbol
will illuminate momentarily.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
CAUTION: The fuel system incorporates
fine metering components that would be
affected by any dirt in the system;
therefore it is essential that working conditions
are scrupulously clean. If it is necessary to
disconnect any part of the fuel injection system,
the system MUST be depressurized. All openings
left open after the removal of any component from
the fuel system, MUST be sealed off to prevent
ingress of dirt.ENGINE SETTING PROCEDURE
If a major overhaul has been undertaken of the fuel
injection/engine system, the following check and
adjustments must be carried out before attempting to
start the engine.
1.Spark plug gaps.
See ENGINE TUNING DATA,
Information, Engine 3.9 V8i
or
See ENGINE TUNING DATA, Information,
Engine 4.2 V8i
2.Ignition timing.See ELECTRICAL,
Adjustment, Ignition Timing
CAUTION: Catalyst vehicle - if the engine
is misfiring, it should be immediately shut
down and the cause rectified. Failure to do
so will result in irreparable damage to the
catalysts.
NOTE: If the previous checks and
adjustments are satisfactory but the
engine will not start, the ignition and fuel
injection electrical circuits must be checked using
the appropriate recommended equipment.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE TUNING
Circuit fault diagnosis may be carried out on all V8i
vehicles, using Testbook. Testbook will guide the
operator by visual prompts through a series of
diagnostic checks.
Before commencing any fault diagnosis, the following
preminary checks must be carried out.
Preliminary checks
CAUTION: Catalyst exhaust: If engine is
misfiring or fails to start within 12 seconds
the cause must be rectified. Failure to do
so will result in irreparable damage to the
catalysts. After rectification the engine must be
run at 1500 rev/min (no load) for 3 minutes to
purge any accumulation of fuel in the system.
1.Check that the inertia fuel shut off switch is not
tripped.
2.Check fuse in main fuse panel.
3.Check for ample fuel in tank.
4.Check air inlet system for possible leaks into the
intake manifold.
5.Check HT cables for correct firing order and
routing.
6.Check ignition timing.
Only when the above checks have been carried out,
should circuit diagnosis begin.
See Electrical
Trouble Shooting Manual.
INJECTOR TESTS
NOTE: Before removing any of the
injectors, remove and examine the spark
plugs, check for consistent colouration of
plugs. A leaking injector will result in the
appropriate spark plug being sooted up.
The following test may only be carried out using
suitable injector test equipment.
Leak Test
Leak test with the injectors closed but pressurise to
2.54 Kgf/cm
2. No injector should leak more than 2
drops of fuel per minute.
Fuel Delivery Test
Fuel delivery test with the injector open and
pressurised as above, fuel delivery from each injector
should be 160-175cc per minute using white spirit, or
180-195cc per minute using petrol at 20ÊC ñ 2ÊC.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASE IDLE SPEED SETTING
NOTE: Base idle speed is set at factory. It
should not require further adjustment
unless plenum chamber is changed. The
adjustment screw is sealed with a plug to prevent
unauthorised alteration. Check ignition timing
before attempting following procedure, since this
will affect idle speed.
Equipment required
Two blanking hoses.these are manufactured using
a new air by-pass valve hose - Part No.ETC7874. Cut
two equal pieces 90mm long from hose and seal one
end of each, using 13mm diameter bar. Use a suitable
clamp to ensure an air tight seal.
Checking procedure
1.Drive vehicle at least two miles until engine and
transmission are hot. Switch off engine.
2.Check all electrical loads are OFF, including air
conditioning.
3.Remove air by-pass valve hose.
4.Fit blanking hoses to both plenum chamber and
air by-pass valve. Ensure hoses are securely
fitted to prevent air leaks. Note throttle cable and
cruise control actuator have been omitted from
illustration.5.Start engine and check idle speed is within
limits.
See ENGINE TUNING DATA,
Information, Basic Idle Speed
Adjusting base idle speed
6.Drill tamper proof plug and insert a self tapping
screw to enable plug to be extracted.
7.Start engine, adjust idle screw clockwise to
decrease or counter-clockwise to increase idle
speed.
8.Stop engine, remove blanking hoses. Reconnect
hose to plenum.
9.Fit new tamper proof plug.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
In order to check the fuel pressure it is necessary to
first depressurise the fuel system as follows:
WARNING: Under normal operating
conditions the multiport fuel injection
system is pressurised by a high pressure
fuel pump, operating at up to 2.3 to 2.5 bar. When
engine is stationary pressure is maintained within
system. To prevent pressurised fuel escaping and
to avoid personal injury it is necessary to
depressurise multiport fuel injection system
before any service operations are carried out.
If vehicle has not been run there will be a small
amount of residual pressure in fuel line. The
depressurising procedure must still be carried out
before disconnecting any component within the
fuel system.
The spilling of fuel is unavoidable during this
operation. Ensure that all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent fire and explosion.

E Regulator1.Remove fuel pump relay module.
See Repair,
Multiport Fuel Injection Relay Modules
2.Start and run engine.
3.When sufficient fuel has been used to cause fuel
line pressure to drop, injectors will become
inoperative, resulting in engine stall. Switch off
ignition.
4.Disconnect battery negative lead. .
NOTE: Fuel at low pressure will remain in
system. To remove low pressure fuel,
place absorbent cloth around fuel pipe at
the filter during disconnection.
5.Connect the pressure gauge on the outlet from
the filter, located on the chassis under the right
rear wheel arch.
6.Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to
position II while observing the pressure gauge.
