The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the fuel pressure that is applied to the fuel injector at only 250 kPa (2.50 kg/cm², 36.3 psi). Accordingly, when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the fuel injector, the fuel passage opens, causing the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during the time the passage remains open. Therefore, the longer the length of time the fuel injector is energized (injection duration), the greater the volume of fuel that is supplied. Conversely, the shorter the length of time the fuel injector is energized (injection duration), the lesser the volume of fuel that is supplied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from the throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake air pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor, lean angle sensor and coolant temperature sensor enable the ECU to determine the injection duration. The injection timing is determined through the signals from the crankshaft position sensor. As a result, the volume of fuel that is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance with the driving conditions.

Checking the relays
Check each switch for continuity with the pocket
tester. If the continuity reading is incorrect, replace
the relay.
1. Disconnect the relay from the wire harness.
2. Connect the pocket tester ( × 1) and battery
(12 V) to the relay terminal as shown.
Check the relay operation.

Checking the drive chain
1. Measure:
15-link section "a" of the drive chain
Out of specification Replace the drive
chain.
a. Measure the length "a" between the inner
sides of the pins and the length "b" between
the outer sides of the pins on a 15-link section
of the drive chain as shown in the illustration.
