Cold Starting Conditions; Post-Start And Warm-Up Conditions - Opel 1991 Astra Workshop Manual

7.9.5 Cold starting conditions.

Definition:
During cold start conditions the low inlet manifold tempera-
tures cause considerable fuel condensation on the inner
walls of the manifold. This condition is known as wall
wetting. To ensure correct A/F ratios it is necessary to
increase the quantity of fuel injected during cold starting
conditions to counteract wall wetting. A correction factor
is applied to the base map for engine temperatures between
-40øC and 100øC.
To prevent the engine from flooding the enrichment factor is
not only engine temperature dependent, but also time depend-
ent. This is implemented by reducing the enrichment factor
over a number of crankshaft revolutions, regardless of
engine temperature. If the ignition is turned off and an
attempt is made to re-start the engine the process is re-
peated.
7.9.6 Post start and warm-up conditions.
Definition:
Engine temperature < 80øC
During these conditions the engine temperature is monitored
and the A/F ratio is decreased by lengthening the base map
injection duration to ensure smooth running of the engine
and to compensate for inlet manifold wall-wetting.
Engine speed < 450 r.p.m.
Engine speed > 450 r.p.m.
