Mechanical Gas Fuel System G5.9, G8.3 – 101-007   Electronic Controlled Fuel System

General Information

TOC

The air fuel ratio (AFR) system is an electronic engine control system designed to optimize engine control and reduce exhaust emissions.

The AFR system adjusts fuel pressure to the carburetor by controlling a fuel metering valve.

The components of the system are:

  1. Electronic control module
  2. Fuel metering valve
  3. Display
  4. Datalink
  5. Exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) sensor
  6. Engine speed sensor
  7. Throttle.

Diagnostic Fault Codes

TOC

The AFR system can display and record certain detectable fault conditions. These issues are displayed as fault codes, which makes troubleshooting easier. The fault codes are retained in the electronic control module (ECM) and are communicated through the display.

All fault codes recorded will either be active (fault code is presently active on the engine) or inactive (fault code was active at one time, but not at the moment). Both active and inactive fault codes can be read using the display.

ECM Inputs


The ECM processes information it receives from the sensors and controls the opening and closing of the fuel metering valve.

  1. Exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) sensor
  2. Speed sensor.

The EGO sensor provides a voltage signal that correlates to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas. This sensor is located in the exhaust outlet connection. The engine speed sensor provides engine speed information and is located on the flywheel housing.

ECM Outputs


The ECM processes input data and sends output signals to these components:

  1. Fuel metering valve
  2. Display
  1. Throttle.

The fuel metering valve is located in the fuel line between the regulator and carburetor and adjusts pressure to the carburetor. The display is located in the control panel and allows user to read fault codes and adjust settings for the AFR. The throttle is located between the turbocharger and intake manifold and controls the engine RPM.
