System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The adoption of the direct fuel injection system [DIG (Direct Injection Gasoline)] enables more accurate adjustment of fuel injection quantity by injecting atomized high-pressure fuel directly into the cylinder. This method allows high-powered engine, high torque, low fuel consumption, quietness, and emissions-reduction.

The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined by input signals (for engine speed and intake air and fuel rail pressure) from the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, mass air flow sensor and the fuel rail pressure sensor.
