Warm–up increase compensation
The fuel injection is increased according to the cooling
water temperature and the engine speed to improve
operation when the engine is cold. The lower the cooling
water temperature, the larger the increase is. When this
increase compensation is used, the air/fuel ratio is richer
than its optimum value.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATION RATIO
Intake air compensation
This compensation factor is used to compensate the vari-
ation of the air/fuel ratiowhich occurs due to the differ-
ence in the intake air density caused by the intake air
temperature (air temperature in the manifold). The air/
fuel ratio is compensated usual value at 20°C by increas-
ing or decreasing the amount of injection, based on the
signal from the intake air temperature sensor which is
built in the air flowmeter.
•
Acceleration increase compensation
To improve performance during acceleration, the amount
of injection is increased according to the cooling water
temperature and the amount of acceleration (varying
amount of the intake air) during and after the engine
warm–up. The lower the cooling water temperature is
and the larger the acceleration is (the larger the amount
of the intake air), the more the amount of injection is
increased. When this increase compensation is used,
the air/fuel ratio is richer than its optimum value.

BATTERY VOLTAGE
COMPENSATION RATIO
Voltage compensation
When the injection signal from the ECM turn ON, there is
a delay before the injector opens its valve. This delay is
called ”lost injection time”. Such delay is shorter when the
battery voltage is higher, and longer when the voltage is
lower. It causes variation in the air/fuel ratio. In order to
adjust the air/fuel ratio to its optimum value constantly, a
voltage compensation time is applied according to the
battery voltage. The voltage compensation time is
shorter when the battery voltage is higher and longer
when the voltage is lower.
•
Output increase compensation
The output range is detected by using signals of the
engine speed and the throttle opening and the amount of
injection is increased by the value fixed for the basic
injection time and the engine speed at that time. The
amount of injection is controlled for a ratio which is richer
than its optimum value.
