4.5.9 Operation during acceleration
During this phase, the control unit adequately increases the fuel amount required by the
engine (to achieve maximum torque) depending on the signals from the following components:
• throttle potentiometer;
• T.D.C. and revs sensor.
The “base” injection time is multiplied by a coefficient depending on the engine coolant
temperature, the accelerator throttle opening rate and the pressure increase in the inlet
manifold.
If the sudden change of the injection time is calculated when the injector is already closed, the
control unit will open the injector (extra pulse) again, to be able to compensate for the ratio as
quick as possible; conversely, the following injections will be increased according to the
above-mentioned coefficients.
