START INJECTION CONTROL
EFI - Functions of Engine EC
U
During engine starting, it is difficult for the
manifold pressure sensor (for D-type EFI) or the
air flow meter (for L-type EFI) to accurately
sense the manifold pressure or the amount of air
being taken in, due to large fluctuations in
engine speed
. For this reason, the Engine ECU
selects from its memory a basic injection
duration that is suitable for the coolant
temperature and engine speed, regardless of in-
take manifold pressure or intake air volume
. It
then adds to this an intake air temperature correc-
tion (See page 72) and a voltage correction (See
page 79) to obtain the actual injection duration
.
When the weather is cold, the cold start
injection system operates in order to improve
startability (See page
63)

In some engine models, the starter (STA)
signal is also used to inform the Engine ECU
that the engine is being cranked
