The fuelinjectors for a group of cylinders are turned on simultaneously.Fuel is injected two times in every two rotations of crankshaft.Asynchro-nous injec-tionAsynchronousinjection ataccelerationWhen the increment of throttle opening gets larger than the setvalue in the course of acceleration, for instance, the fuel isinjected immediately and simultaneously at all cylinders, ratherthan synchronizing with the engine rotation signal transmittedby the pulser coil. This prevents the lean air/fuel ratio, andassures the sharp throttle response in acceleration.ACylinder 1Cylinder 3Cylinder 4Cylinder 2Pulser coil signal 1Pulser coil signal 2Injection #1 and #4Injection #2 and #3Compression Combustion Exhaust Intake CompressionCompression Combustion Exhaust IntakeIntakeCompression Combustion ExhaustIntakeExhaustCombustion Exhaust Intake Compression CombustionBTDC70° BTDC10°#1 and #4BTDC70° BTDC10°#1 and #4BTDC70° BTDC10°#1 and #4BTDC70° BTDC10°#2 and #3BTDC70° BTDC10°#2 and #3
