MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiport Fuel Injection System consists of sensors which detect the engine conditions, the ENGINE
CONTROL MODULE (ECM) which controls the system based on signals from these sensors, and actuators which
operate under the control of the ECM. The ECM carries out activities such as fuel injection control, idle air control
and ignition timing control. In addition, the ECM is equipped with several diagnostic test modes which simplify the
troubleshooting when a problem develops.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
The injector drive times and injector timing are controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture is supplied to the
engine to correspond to the continually-changing engine operation conditions. A single injector is mounted at the
intake port of each cylinder. Fuel is sent under pressure from the fuel tank by the fuel pump, with the pressure being
regulated by the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel thus regulated is distributed to each of the injectors. Fuel injection is
normally carried out once for each cylinder for every two rotations of the crankshaft. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.
This is called multiport. The ECM provides a richer air/fuel mixture by carrying out "open-loop" control when the
engine is cold or operating under high load conditions in order to maintain engine performance. In addition, when the
engine is warm or operating under normal conditions, the ECM controls the air/fuel mixture by using the heated
oxygen sensor signal to carry out "closed-loop" control in order to obtain the theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio that
provides the maximum cleaning performance from the three way catalyst.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL
 Page 2 of 136
The idle speed is kept at the optimum speed by controlling the amount of air that bypasses the throttle valve in
accordance with changes in idling conditions and engine load during idling. The ECM drives the idle speed control
(ISC) motor to keep the engine running at the pre-set idle target speed in accordance with the engine coolant
temperature and air conditioning load. In addition, when the air conditioning switch is turned off and on while the
engine is idling, the ISC motor operates to adjust the throttle valve bypass air amount in accordance with the engine
load conditions in order to avoid fluctuations in the engine speed.
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL
The ignition power transistor located in the ignition primary circuit turns ON and OFF to control the primary current
flow to the ignition coil. This controls the ignition timing in order to provide the optimum ignition timing with respect
to the engine operating conditions. The ignition timing is determined by the ECM from the engine speed, intake air
volume, engine coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure.
OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. Fuel Pump Control : Turns the fuel pump relay ON so that current is supplied to the fuel pump while the engine is
cranking or running.
2. A/C Compressor Clutch Relay Control : Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C ON and OFF.
3. Fan Relay Control : The radiator fan and condenser fan speeds are controlled in response to the engine coolant
temperature and vehicle speed.
4. Evaporative Emission Purge Control.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE

om
• When an abnormality is detected in one of the sensors or actuators related to emission control, the CHECK
ENGINE/MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP illuminates as a warning to the driver.
• When an abnormality is detected in one of the sensors or actuators, a diagnostic trouble code corresponding to
.c
the abnormality is output.
• The RAM data inside the ECM that is related to the sensors and actuators can be read by means of the scan
gn
tool. In addition, the actuators can be controlled under certain circumstances.
HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
Most intermittent malfunctions occur under certain conditions. If those conditions can be identified, the cause will be
ia

easier to find.
TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION;
1. Ask the customer about the malfunction. Ask what it feels like, what it sounds like, etc. Then ask about driving
rd

conditions, weather, frequency of occurrence, and so on.

2. Determine the conditions from the customer's responses. Typically, almost all intermittent malfunctions occur from
ca

conditions like vibration, temperature and/or moisture change, poor connections. From the customer's replies, it
should be reasoned which condition is influenced.
3. Use simulation test In the cases of vibration or poor connections, use the simulation tests below to attempt to
duplicate the customer's complaint. Determine the most likely circuit(s) and perform the simulation tests on the
connectors and parts of that circuit(s). Be sure to use the inspection procedures provided for diagnostic trouble
codes and trouble symptoms. For temperature and/or moisture conditions related intermittent malfunctions, using
common sense, try to change the conditions of the suspected circuit components, then use the simulation tests
below.
4. Verify the intermittent malfunction is eliminated. Repair the malfunctioning part and try to duplicate the
condition(s) again to verify the intermittent malfunction has been eliminated.
SIMULATION TESTS
For these simulation tests, shake, then gently bend, pull and twist the wiring of each of these examples to duplicate
the intermittent malfunction.
• Shake the connector up-and-down, and right-and-left.
• Shake the wiring harness up-and-down, and right-and-left.
• Vibrate the part or sensor.
A CAUTION FOR I/M TEST (2.5 V6 Vehicle with Traction Control System)
• To prevent the vehicle misfire, disconnect the connector of ABS.
 Page 3 of 136
SERVICE POINTS IN INSPECTING A BLOWN FUSE
Remove the fuse and measure the resistance between the load side of the fuse and ground. Set the switches of all
circuits which are connected to this fuse to a condition of continuity. If the resistance is almost 0W at this time, there
is a short somewhere between these switches and the load. If the resistance is not 0W, there is no short at the
present time, but a momentary short has probably caused the fuse to blow.
The main causes of a short circuit are the following.
• Harness clamped by the vehicle body
• Damage to the outer casing of the harness due to wear or heat.
• Water getting into the connector or circuitry
• Human error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc.).
INSPECTING THE MFI SYSTEM
If the MFI system components (sensors, ECM, injector, etc.) fail, the interruption or failure to supply the proper
amount of fuel for various engine operating conditions will result. The following situations may be encountered.
1. Engine is hard to start or does not start at all.
2. Unstable idle
3. Poor driveability
If any of the above conditions is noted, first perform an inspection by self-diagnosis and subsequent basic engine
checks (ignition system malfunction, incorrect engine adjustment, etc.), and then inspect the MFI system

om
components.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
• The recording condition of diagnostic trouble code. After the ECM first detects a malfunction, a diagnostic
trouble code is recorded when he engine is restarted and the same malfunction is re-detected. (Malfunction is
.c
detected in driving cycle). However, for fuel system rich/lean misfiring, a diagnostic trouble code is recorded on
the first detection of the malfunction.
gn
• The recording condition of diagnostic trouble code. After the ECM first detects a malfunction, a diagnostic
trouble code is recorded when he engine is restarted and the same malfunction is re-detected. (Malfunction is
detected in driving cycle). However, for fuel system rich/lean misfiring, a diagnostic trouble code is recorded on
ia

the first detection of the malfunction.

- When driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature, etc.) are similar to those when the
rd

malfunction was first recorded.

- When the ECM does not re-detect the malfunction for 80 driving cycles.
ca

A "driving cycle" consists of the engine start, vehicle operation beyond the beginning of closed loop operation.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
An On Board Diagnostic lamp comes on to notify the driver that there is any problem on the vehicle.
However MIL will go off automatically after 3 subsequent sequential driving cycles not redetected same malfunction.
Immediately after the ignition switch turns on, the malfunction indicator light is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that the
malfunction indicator light operates normally.

• Air flow sensor (MAF sensor)
• Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT sensor)
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT sensor)

INSPECTING THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
1. After turning on the ignition key, check that the light illuminates for 5 seconds without engine running.
2. If the light does not illuminate, check for an open circuit in harness, blown fuse and blown bulb.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The ECM monitors the input/output signals (some signals at all times and the others under specified conditions).
When the ECM detects an irregularity, it memorize the diagnostic trouble code, and outputs the signal to the self-

om
diagnosis output terminal. The diagnosis results can be read out Hi-Scan Tool. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will
remain in the ECM as long as battery power is maintained. The diagnostic trouble code will, however, be erased
when the battery terminal or the engine control module (ECM) connector is disconnected or erased by Generic
Scan Tool.
.c
CHECKING THE PROCEDURES (SELF-DIAGNOSIS)
gn

• When battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes can not be read. Be sure to check the battery for voltage
and charging system before starting the test.
• Diagnosis memory is erased if the battery or the ECM connector is disconnected. Do not disconnect the
ia

battery before the diagnostic trouble codes are completely read and recorded.
rd
ca

Inspection Procedure (Using Hi-Scan Tool)

1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector on the lower crash pad.
3. Turn ON the ignition switch.
4. Use the Hi-Scan Tool to check the diagnostic trouble code.
5. Repair the faulty part from the diagnosis chart.
6. Erase the diagnostic trouble code.
7. Disconnect the Hi-Scan Tool.
OBD-II OVERVIEW
The goal of the On Board Diagnostics-II (OBD-II) regulation, which was mandated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), is to ensure proper emission system operation for the life of the vehicle by providing the
vehicle with an "on-board" diagnostic system which is capable of continuously monitoring the efficiency of the
emission control system. To achieve this goal, OBD-II diagnostics monitors emissions-related components and
systems for deterioration and identifies an emissions-related malfunction before the driver notices a problem with the
 Page 5 of 136
vehicle. The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition, emission
and engine systems. If the ECM senses a problem with a monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual
problem, it stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code in the ECM memory. If the code applies to a non-emissions related
component or system and the problem is repaired or ceases to the exist, the ECM cancels the code after a
predetermined number of drive cycles. Certain criteria must be met before the ECM stores a DTC in memory. The
criteria may be a specific range of engine RPM, engine temperature, and/or input voltage to the ECM. Keep in mind
though that the ECM might not store a DTC for a monitored circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the circuit has not been met. For example, lets SAY THE DTC
criteria requires the ECM to monitor the circuit only when the engine operates between 750 and 2000 RPM.
Suppose the sensors output circuit shorts to ground as a result of engine torque when the engine operates above
2400RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the ECM). Since the condition happens at the engine speed above the
maximum threshold, in this case 2000 RPM, the ECM will not store a DTC.
As a functional test, the MIL (check engine) illuminates at key ON before engine cranking. Whenever the ECM sets
a DTC that affects vehicle emissions, it sends a signal to illuminate the MIL. There are some monitors that may take
consecutive trips, with a detected fault, before the MIL is illuminated. This is also known as "PENDING" codes.
Also, m the MIL flashes when the ECM detects an active engine misfire, then shuts off fuel to the affected cylinder.
OBD-II diagnostics supports not only the standard test mode of OBD-II (Mode 01~Mode 07) but also an
advanced test Mode (Mode 22: Supported PID-analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs). All of these
diagnostic test modes are supported using Hi-Scan Pro through the DLC.

The ECM executes the following key monitoring for OBD-II:
• Primary emission control system/components
• Heated oxygen sensors (includes heater)

• Catalyst
• Fuel system

• Evaporative emission system
• Misfire
• Comprehensive components (input and output)
ia

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITORING (SYSTEM DESCRIPTION)

Effective control of exhaust emission is achieved by an oxygen "feedback system" to the ECM. This "feedback" is
rd

accomplished with the HO2 Sensors. Once the HO2 Sensor reaches operating temperature, the sensor generates a
voltage signal to the ECM that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. This voltage signal is
used by the ECM to calculate the fuel injector pulse width to maintain the ideal 14.7 to 1 Air Fuel (A/F) ratio. This is
ca

the ideal mixture because at this ratio, the catalyst works best to remove hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) from the exhaust.
MONITORING PROCESS
To achieve the requirements of the HO2S Monitoring diagnosis, diagnostic tests have been designed to monitor the
following:
• Heater voltage and current.
• Period of front HO2S reaction
• Other parameter (Tv) to monitor sensor aging.
‍ Heater voltage and current
The voltage readings taken from the HO2 Sensor are very temperature sensitive and are not particularly accurate
below 300°C. For this reason, heating of the HO2 sensor is necessary to allow the engine controller to shift to
closed loop control as soon as possible. The heating element used to heat the HO2 Sensor must be tested to ensure
that it is heating the sensor properly.
 Page 6 of 136

* Period of front HO2 reaction

The ECM is supplied with information regarding the oxygen content of the exhaust gases by the front HO2S. The
signal is used to compute the injection period. The front HO2S monitors the contaminated exhaust gases. This, in
time, causes aging of the device and a change in the signal.

om
To monitor the front HO2S responsiveness, the response period of the upstream oxygen sensor signal is compared
with a lower and upper threshold. This comparison is done in an applicable range of engine speed and load with the
engine at operating temperature. If the actual mean value of the period is outside of the lower and upper period
thresholds the diagnostic trouble code is set.
.c
* Other parameter (Tv) to monitor sensor aging
The sensor aging is monitored by comparing the front and rear HO2S and also using the correction value (Tv) which
gn
determines the mean value of the lean/rich shift necessary for optimal air/fuel ratio-control. With the help of this
information, the ECM can make allowance for aging of the front HO2S in its injection period calculations. When the
parameter-Tv is above or below the specific limits, the ECM will set the diagnosic trouble code HO2S Slow
ia

Response by aging.
rd
ca

MIL illumination
If any fault relating to HO2S is detected, then the MIL is only truned ON if the same fault is again detected during a
 Page 7 of 136
second drive cycle.
CATALYST MONITORING (SYSTEM DESCRIPTION)
To comply with clean air regulatings, vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters. These converters reduce the
emissions of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Normal vehicle operation or engine misfire can cause a catalyst to decay. A meltdown of the ceramic core can cause
a reduction of the exhaust passage resulting in an increase in vehicle performance and deteriorate engine
performance, driveablity and fuel economy.
The catalyst uses dual oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter because as a catalyst deteriorates, its
oxygen storage capacity and its efficiency are both reduced. By monitoring the oxygen storage capacity of a catalyst,
its efficiency can be indirectly calculated. The upstream (front) HO2 Sensor is used to detect the amount of oxygen
in the exhaust gas before it enters the catalytic converter. A low voltage indicates a high oxgen content (lean air
mixture) A high voltage indicates a low content of oxygen (rich mixture).
When the front HO2 Sensor detects a lean condition, there is an abundance in the oxygen in the exhaust has. A
functioning converter would store this oxygen so it can use it for the oxidation of HC and CO. As the converter
absorbs the oxygen, there will be a lack of oxygen downstream of the converter. The output of the downstream
(rear) HO2 Sensor will indicate limited activity in this condition. As the converter loses the ability to store oxygen,
the condition can be detected from the operation of the rear HO2 Sensor. When the catalyst efficiency drops, no
chemical reaction takes place. This means the concentration of oxygen will be the same downstream (rear) as
upstream (front). The output voltage of the rear HO2 Sensor copies the voltage of the front HO2 Sensor. The only

om
difference is a time lag (monitored by the ECM) between the switching of the HO2 Sensors.
To monitor the system, the lean-to-rich switches of front to rear HO2 Sensors is counted. The ratio of rear switches
to front switches is used to determine whether the catalyst is operating properly. An effective catalyst will have fewer
.c
rear switches than it has front switches, that is, a ratio closer to zero. For a totally ineffective catalyst, this ratio will
be one-to-one indicating that no oxidation occurs in the catalytic converter.
The system must be monitored so that when catalyst efficiency deteriorates and exhaust emissions increase to over
gn

the legal limit, the MIL will illuminate.

FUEL SYSTEM MONITORING (SYSTEM DESCRIPTION)

The determination of how much fuel to deliver to the engine is the calculation of injector pulse width. Basic injection
duration (injector pulse width) is determined by :
• Engine load (MAF sensor)
• Engine Speed (SGT)
• Short fuel trim correction factor
• Long fuel trim correction factor
Fuel trim is monitored to meet the OBD-II requirements
 Page 8 of 136
1. Short fuel trim (FT)
Short FT is a temporary correction to fuel delivery which changes with every cycle of the front Heated Oxygen
Sensor.
Under normal conditions, it fluctuates rapidly around its ideal value of 0% correction and is set to 0% during open
loop operation.
Short FT is a parameter of the OBD-II serial data stream and can be displayed by a scan tool. The normal range
of short FT is ±25%, but under normal operating conditions it rarely goes beyond ±10%. Short FT responds to
changes in front HO2S output. If basic injection duration results in a lean air/fuel ratio, Short FT responds with
positive corrections (+1% to +25%) to add fuel and enrich the mixture. If basic injection is too rich, Short FT
responds with negative corrections (-1% to -25%) to subtract fuel and lean the mixture.
2. Long fuel Trim
Long FT is a data parameter on the OBD-II data streams. It is a more permanent correction to fuel delivery
because it is part of the basic injection duration calculation. Long FT changes slowly, in response to short FT. It's
normal range is ±25%, positive values indicating rich correction and negative values indicating lean correction.
Unlike Short FT which affects injection duration calculation in closed loop. Because Long FT is stored in a non-
volatile RAM and is not erased when the ignition is swithed OFF, the fuel system is able to correct for variances
in engine and fuel conditions even during warm-up and wide open throttel conditions.
MONITORING PROCESS
The ECM monitors the averages of long term and short term fuel trim. If these fuel trim values reach and stay at their

om
maximum limits (±25%) for a defined period of time, a diagnostic trouble code is set.
MIL ILLUMINATION
When the fuel trim value exceeds the failure thresholds, when the MIL is only turned ON if the same fault is detected
.c
during a second drive cycle.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROLS (EVAPORATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM)
The evaporation control system prevents the emission of fuel tank vapor into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates
gn

in the fuel tank, the vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a charcoal filled evaporative canister. The canister
temporarily holds the vapors. The ECM allows intake manifold vacuum to draw vapors into the combustion
chambers during certain operating conditions.
ia

Fuel tank
The fuel tank is located under the rear of the vehicle. The fuel pump, fuel level sending unit and fuel tank pressure
rd

sensor are installed on the upper part of the fuel tank.

Fuel filler cap
ca

A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel filler cap reduces the chances of incorrect installation, which would
prevent sealing fuel vapors. After the gasket on the fuel filler cap and the fill neck flange contact each other, the
ratchet produces a loud clicking noise indicating the seal has been set.
Evaporative emissions canister
The EVAP canister is filled with granules of an activated carbon mixture. Fuel vapors enter into the EVAP canister
are absorbed by the charcoal granules. Fuel tank pressure vents into the EVAP canister and are temporarily held in
the canister until they can be drawn into the intake manifold.
Canister close valve
The Canister Close Valve (CCV) closes off the air inlet to the Evaporative Emissions Canister for the Evaporative
Emissions System leak detection inspection function. The CCV also prevents fuel vapors from escaping from the
Evaporative Emissions Canister when the vehicle is not operating.
Purge solenoid valve
This valve is actuated by the purge control signal from the ECM and controls fuel vapor from the EVAP Canister to
the intake manifold.
Fuel tank pressure sensor
The Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (FTPS) is an integral part of the monitoring system. The FTPS checks Purge
Solenoid Valve operation and leak detection in the Evaporative Emissions System by monitoring pressure and
vacuum levels in the fuel tank during and between Purge Solenoid Valve operating cycles.
EVAP SYSTEM MONITORING: LEAKAGE DETECTION (SYSTEM DESCRIPTION)
 Page 9 of 136
The evaporative system is monitored by a pressure test. The canister close valve and fuel tank pressure sensor are
used to close the system and observe tank pressure respectively.

om
.c
MONITORING CONDITIONS
The leak test is conducted when the vehicle is stopped during an idle condition.
gn
MONITORING PROCESS
The canister close valve and the EVAP canister purge control valve are closed and an increase in fuel tank pressure
caused by fuel evaporation occurs (compensation gradient). Afterwards, the canister close valve and the purge
ia

control valve are opened. The canister close valve will be shut if the purge control valve reached its final duty cycle.
rd
ca

1. Gross leak detection A gross leak is assumed if negative pressure is built-up below a certain threshold. In this
case, the EVAP canister purge control valve is closed and the canister close valve is opened. then, the diagnosis
is completed.
2. Small leak detection The EVAP canister purge control valve is closed as soon as the maximum vacuum level is
achieved. The rate of vacuum loss will be corrected by the above compensation gradient. A small leak is
assumed if this corrected rate of vacuum loss is above a certain threshold. Then, the canister close valve is
opened and the diagnosis is completed.
MIL ILLUMINATION
 Page 10 of 136
If either a rough leak or a small leak is detected for two driving cycles, then a defective evaporative system is
assumed and the MIL is illuminated.
MISFIRE MONITORING (SYSTEM DESCRIPTION)
Misfire is monitored by evaluating fluctuations of the angular velocity of the crankshaft position sensor. The
crankshaft position sensor allows the ECM to monitor crankshaft speed variations during each cylinder power
stroke. When all cylinders of an engine are firing evenly, the crankshaft speeds up evenly with each power stroke.
During a misfire, crankshaft speed decreases in that cylinder. Kia OBD-II engines use a 60 minus 2 tooth crankshaft
position sensor to measure crankshaft speed and position. The ECM uses this information to determine if a misfire
occurs, which cylinder it is occurring in, and the degree of misfire. If a significant misfire is detected, a DTC is
stored. The MIL in the instrument panel will illuminate, informing the driver of a malfunction.
MONITORING CONDITIONS
The misfire monitoring begins as soon as 2.9 to 50 ignitions pass after engine start. It is disabled while the ECM
detects a sudden change of engine speed or load. The misfire monitoring covers the full range of engine operation.
MONITORING PROCESS
A new function for pre-filtering the sensor wheel segment duration has been introduced on the Optima in order to
expand the misfire monitoring range. The sensor wheel segment duration is pre-filtered by this function and then the
filtered value is used to calculate the engine roughness which is compared with the reference value to detect misfiring.
With this function, it is possible to eliminate the influence of the crankshaft-synchronous oscillations on the detection
of misfire. These oscillations can be caused by sensor wheel tolerance or crankshaft torsional vibration. The misfire

om
monitoring of this vehicle covers nearly the full range of engine operation in case of random or continuous misfire,
and for symmetrical misfire.
MIL ILLUMINATION
.c
The MIL is illuminated when a misfire is detected which can cause the damage of catalyst or exhaust emission higher
than 1.5 times certification standard (I/M failure). The MIL flashes while a catalyst damaging misfire is being
detected.
gn

COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENTS MONITORING

Any input or output components that can affect emissions or any input or output component used to monitor any
other moniotred component/system is monitored. The lack of circuit continuity and rationality, and out-of-range
ia

values to ensure proper operation of the input devices, are monitored for proper response to ECM commands.
EGR SYSTEM MONITORING (EXCEPT 2.5L V6 ENGINE)
rd

The EGR system is monitored by the measurement of manifold pressure variation by turning on EGR during
coasting. The manifold pressure is measured before and after EGR valve has been activated and the corresponding
ca

pressure variation is compared with reference value to detect a EGR system malfunction.

MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR & INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
This hot film type air flow sensor is composed of a hot film sensor, housing, metering duct (hybrid, sensor element).
Mass air flow rate is measured by detection of heat transfer from a hot film probe because the change of the mass
air flow rate causes change in the amount of heat being transferred from the hot film probe surface to the air flow.
The air flowsensor generates a pulse so it repeatedly opens and closes between the 5V voltage supplied from the
engine control module. This results in the change of the temperature of the hat film probe and in the change of

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
• The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed in the engine coolant passage of the cylinder head, detects
engine coolant temperature and emits signals to the ECM. This part employs a thermistor which is sensitive to
changes in temperature. The electric resistance of a thermistor decreases in response to temperature rise. The
ECM judges engine coolant temperature by the sensor output voltage and provides optimum fuel enrichment
when the engine is cold.
