ME7.3.1 injection/ignition control unit

The control unit is fitted in the engine compartment, on the intake chamber.The control unit memory is the 'flash EPROM' type, i.e. reprogrammable from the outside without intervening on the hardware.The adoption of the Alfa Romeo CODE does not allow control units to be exchanged between vehicles.

The control unit implements the self-learning mode in the following conditions:

  • installation of new injection control unit,
  • installation of a new throttle body actuator integratd with D.V.L.
  • removing/refitting or replacement of rpm sensor/phonic wheel, for recognizing misfire.

INJECTORS

The single-jet fuel injectors are installed on the distribution manifold and are pressed by the manifold itself into their respective seats in the inlet ducts.A retainer secures the fuel injector to the distribution manifold, and two O-rings ensure the seal.The fuel injectors are responsible for delivering the necessary quantity of fuel to the engine.They are 'all or nothing' devices, as they can remain in only two stable states, i.e. open or closed. They allow fuel to pass when they are open, while they block delivery when they are closed.

Operation

They basically consist of a nozzle controlled by a solenoid and a return spring (4).In the rest position, the pintle (2), which is joined to the core (3), is pushed by the spring onto the injector nose (6), thus closing the hole, ensuring a seal and preventing the undesired emergence of fuel.As soon as the winding (5) is energized, the core is attracted, and it compresses the spring thus opening the hole of the nozzle and allowing fuel to emerge.Considering the physical characteristics of the fuel (viscosity, density) and the pressure drop (via the pressure regulator) to be constant, the quantity of fuel injected depends only on the fuel injector opening time.The winding energization time is normally indicated as 'fuel injection time'.

ENIGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

It is fitted on the thermostatic cup and measures the temperature of the coolant by means of an NTC thermistor which has a negative resistance coefficient.
The sensor is produced using semiconductor technology, so if the temperature of the sensor increases as the temperature of the coolant increases, the resistance decreases.As the variation in resistance is not linear, for the same temperature increment, it is higher for low temperatures than for high temperatures.

KNOCK SENSORS

The piezoelectric type detonation sensors are fitted on the cylinder block/crankcase, between the two heads, and measure the intensity of the vibrations caused by the detonation in the combustion chambers.The piezoelectric crystal forming the sensor detects the vibrations generated at a frequency of between 12 and 16 kHz, and transforms them into electrical signals sent to the fuel injection control unit.

RPM SENSOR

It is fitted on the engine block, where it faces the phonic wheel located on the flywheel.It is of the inductive type, i.e. it functions by means of the variation in the magnetic field generated by the passage of the teeth of the flywheel (60-2 teeth).

The engine management control unit uses the rpm sensor to:

  • determine the rotation speed;
  • determine the angle of the crankshaft.

Operation

The passage from full to empty, due to the presence or absence of the tooth, causes a variation in the magnetic flow which is sufficient to generate an induced alternating voltage, resulting from the count of teeth located on a ring (or phonic wheel).The frequency and amplitude of the voltage sent to the electronic control unit give the latter the measurement of the speed of the front wheels.

TIMING SENSOR

Hall effect; it is mounted on the cylinder head and faces a disc on the rear part of the right cylinder head exhaust end camshaft. The disc contains a peg which allows the sensor to signal the engine timing position.The engine control unit uses the timing sensor signal for recognizing T.D.C. at the end of compression for a quick start.

Operation

A semiconducting layer, through which current passes, immersed in a perpendicular magnetic field (force lines perpendicular to the current direction), generates at its ends a difference in potential known as Hall voltage.Whilst the disc (1) rotates, when the tooth (3) passes over the sensor (2), it blocks the magnetic field with a consequent 'low' output signal.Conversely, after the tooth (3) passes the sensor (2), the signal becomes 'high'.Consequently the high signal alternates with the low signal every two engine revolutions, to be precise when cylinder no. 1 is 58° before TDC.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH BUILT-IN POTENTIOMETER

The sensor consists of a casing, secured to the accelerator pedal mount, which contains a shaft, in an axial position, connected to two potentiometers: one main one and one safety one.

The engine control unit implements the following recovery strategies:

  • if there is a fault with one of the two potentiometers, a throttle opening of up to 25% is allowed for a long period
  • if both of the potentiometers fail completely, or one potentiometer and the brake pedal switch fail, the throttle opening is excluded.
There is a coil spring on the shaft which guarantees the correct resistance to the pressure whilst a second spring ensures the return on release.

Operation

The position of the accelerator pedal is transformed into an electrical voltage signal and is sent to the fuel injection control unit by the potentiometer connected to the accelerator pedal.The accelerator pedal position signal is processed together with the information relating to the rpm, to obtain the fuel injection times and relevant pressure.

THROTTLE BODY WITH DVL

It is fitted on the inlet chamber and regulates the quantity of air drawn in by the engine.According to the signal coming from the accelerator pedal potentiometer, the injection control unit controls the opening of the throttle by means of a direct current motor integrated in the throttle body integrated with D.V.L.The throttle opening takes place between 0° and 80° therefore including the idle adjustment.The throttle body integral with D.V.L. is equipped with two potentiometers integrated so that one controls the other and viceversa.

If both the potentiometers fail or there is no supply, the control unit reduces the engine torque according to the position of the accelerator pedal:

  • fully depressed, it cuts off the supply to one or more pistons, until a maximum speed of 2500 rpm is reached.
  • in interm
