Sandgate Auto Electrics
Car Repair
The ECU signals the fuel pump to run when you turn the ignition key to the start position. The throttle position sensor helps the ECU determine whether the engine is idling, accelerating or at full throttle. Then, the ECU adjusts the fuel mixture to suit. Then, it delivers fuel under pressure to the top of the fuel injector. This delivers fuel in a fine spray into the induction system. The crank angle sensor gives the ECU an indication of engine speed and piston position. This is to help the ECU determine injection timing.
Engine management system also use the ignition system. It controls spark timing which results in optimised performance and emission levels. Most modern cars have a direct ignition system. It uses an ignition coil for each cylinder. The ECU fires the coil at the correct time using references from various sensors.
Likewise, the ECU performs millions of calculations each second. This includes looking up values in tables, calculating the results of long equations. This is to decide on the best spark timing and determining how long the fuel injector is open. The ECU does all of this to ensure the lowest emissions and best mileage.
