    Read these past threads for the better understanding

    Fuel injection - http://www.elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1627122

    This is one of a fuel injection system what I have talked about in ‘fuel injection’ thread

    This is called Electronics Fuel Injection (EFI)
    This is consist of these main components,


    ECU (Electronic controlling unite)
    MAP (manifold absolute pressure)
    O_2 Sensor
    BPW (base pulse width)
    IDC (injector duty cycle)
    IAC (idle air control)
    CAN (controller area network)
    TCU (transmission control unit)



    CENTER]


    Fuel injector is controlled by an ECU (Electronic controlling unite)

    MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor measures the
    amount of vacuum pressure inside of running engine and
    then it tells ECU how much load is on the engine
    (how hard the engine is working)

    The information picking by the sensor is important because
    the two pieces of data that ECU need to work properly with
    rpm and load

    Another valuable sensor in the EFI system is the oxygen
    O_2 sensor

    What the O_2 sensor does is measures the air/fuel mixture
    in the exhaust system and corrects any errors

    Base pulse width (BPW) is the amount of time that injector
    is opened by the ECU in one engine cycle

    Once the ECU is calculated everything, then BPW is the
    end result how much fuel is actually put into the engine

    If the ECU sees it means to increase fuel, it does so by
    increasing pulse width and if it needs to decrease fuel,
    it decreases the pulse width

    There is a term related to BPW called IDC (injector duty cycle)

    IDC is the ratio of BPW compared to the total time of an engine cycle

    IDC measures and indicates how much of an injectors
    capacity is being used in an engine

    If an injector is at full capacity it's a sure sign that the
    injector is too small

    another important EFI term is IAC (idle air control)

    IAC is an electronic valve that regulates the control vacuum leek

    That controlled leek allows for great idle speed control and
    can maintain consistent idle speed under different loads

    It also can raise or lower idle speed we needed

    Some EFI systems are equipped with a CAN (controller area network)

    The Controller Area Network (CAN) acts as a gateway in that
    it allows the devices to communicate a large amount of
    information over a simple high-speed two wire network

    Since it provides data from all sensors, it eliminates most of
    the extra wiring necessary on vehicles not equipped with CAN

    One of the primary components that users CAN is the TCU
    (transmission control unit)

    The TCU is similar to the ECU and that is a computer but the TCU
    only varies with the transmission behavior

    Things like vehicle speed, shift points, shift firmness, down shifting
    and port converter lockup are some variables handled by the TCU

    Hope this video better explain what EFI
