Fuel system
The fuel injection system is all-electronic and microprocessor-controlled. It can continually compensate
for variations in engine load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air
flow sensor or a pressure meter on certain models, measures the inducted air. In this way the system can
make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always assuring the best
economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions.
Lambda-sond (oxygen sensor)
system
This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated
oxygen sensor monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas
analysis is fed into an electronic control module. This adjusts the air-fuel ratio to provide optimum
conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide and nitrous gases) by a 3-way catalytic converter.
