COMPONENTS OF INJECTION-IGNITION SYSTEM
The injection-ignition system consists mainly of wiring, an electronic control unit (ECU) and the fol
lowing sensors and actuators:
Sensors
Actuators
-Rpm and TDC sensor
-Timing sensor
-Throttle position sensor
-Coolant temperature sensor
-Intake air temperature sensor
-Absolute pressure sensor
-Vehicle speed sensor
-Lambda probe
INJECTION-IGNITION SYSTEM WIRING
The various system components are connected by a single wiring system fitted with connectors of vari
ous types. These are grouped in special ducts fitted to the engine (prewiring).
INJECTION-IGNITION ECU
The I.A.W. -1AF.13 (I.A.W. -1AF.23 for vehicles with automatic transmission) injection-ignition system
ECU adopted is specific to this version.
It consists of hybrid thick film circuits connected to the electrical system by a 55 pin multiple connector.
The ECU'S task is to process signals from the various sensors through the application of software algo
rithms and control the actuators in order to achieve optimal engine performance.
Essential features of the electronic control unit are as follows:
a. Data acquisition and coding section
This consists of a set of electronic components designed to receive data in the form of analogue elec
trical signals. Inside, the signals are converted into digital signals, processed and stored.
-Engine idle speed actuator
-Electric fuel pump
-Fuel vapour cut-off valve
-Injectors
-Ignition coils
-Dual relay
