EFI USING INSTRUCTION System parts description 1. ECU: The ECU is the core part of E.F.I. system. Avoid hard contact of it with any object and also excessive contact with water. Its ambient temperature should not exceed 70℃,and interference by electromagnetic fields or forces should be avoided. 2.
EFI USING INSTRUCTION 4. Oxygen sensor: The oxygen sensor is a delicate component. Avoid hard contact of it with any object or surface. 5. Intake temperature, Cylinder head temperature, Throttle position sensors The intake temperature sensor is used to monitor the fuel temperature within the cylinder. It is one of major components used to determine the actual fuel quantity within cylinder as the fuel intensity may be affected by the variation of the fuel temperature.
EFI USING INSTRUCTION Service and Maintenance 1. All electrical components should be treated as fragile. 2. Additionally, strict precautions should be taken against water, oil etc. and materials that infiltrate into electrical parts and onto terminals. 3. In order to avoid damage, do not allow the battery to come into contact with the injector. 4.
