MULTI POINT

INJECTION
SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
MPFI- a technology used in petrol engines
Uses a small computer to control the cars engine
In MPFI engine one fuel injector is installed near each

cylinder ,that is why it is called multi point fuel

injection.
Before MPFI system, there was a technology called

Carburetor

 The computer in the MPFI system decides what

amount of fuel to inject

System also learns from the drivers driving habits
MPFI system makes engine fuel efficient

OBJECTIVES
power output
fuel efficiency
emissions performance
ability to accommodate alternative fuels
reliability
drivability and smooth operation
initial cost
maintenance cost
diagnostic capability
range of environmental operation
Engine tuning

HISTORY AND
DEVELOPMENT
Herbert Akroyd Stuart developed the first system
The first use of direct gasoline injection was on

the Hesselman engine invented by Swedish

engineer Jonas Hesselman in 1925

One of the first commercial gasoline injection

systems -a mechanical system developed by Bosch

and introduced in 1952 on the Goliath GP700 and
Gutbrod Superior 600

Mechanical fuel injection systems

Goliath GP700

Carrera 3.0

Chevrolet introduced a mechanical fuel injection

option, made by General Motors' Rochester Products

division, for its 283 V8 engine in 1956

Electronic fuel injection

systems
First commercial EFI system was Electrojector-

developed by the Bendix Corporation

EFI system in the Rambler was a far moreadvanced setup
than the mechanical
types.

Rambler Rebel

 1958 Chrysler 300D, Dodge D500, Plymouth Fury,

and DeSoto Adventurer-the first series-production

cars equipped with an EFI system.
D-Jetronic was first used on the VW 1600TL/E in
1967

SUPERSESSION OF
CARBURETORS
Extensive carburetor

modifications and complexities

were needed to approach
stoichiometric engine operation
3 primary types of toxic

emissions from an IC engine:

CO, unburnt HC, and NOx

 Fuel injection systems have significantly evolved

since mid 1980s.

Current systems provide an accurate, reliable and

cost-effective method of metering fuel and with clean

exhaust emissions-replaced carburetors in the
marketplace
The carburetor remains in use in developing countries

BASIC FUNCTIONS
Exhaust air or oxygen sensor
Engine temperature sensor
Air flow sensor
Throttle position sensor
Manifold pressure sensor
Camshaft position sensor
Knock sensor

FUNDAMENTALS OF
FUEL INJECTION

MPFI Systems can either be:

Sequential
Simultaneous
Group

These techniques result in better power balance

amongst the cylinders, higher output from each
one of them, along with faster throttle response

 'Sequential' is the best from the above

considerations of power balance/output

Sefi-Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection -

technically is the best of the above variants of

MPFI
The on-board ECU primarily controls the

Ignition Timing and quantity of fuel to be

injected

Port Injection
The injector is

placed on the side

of the intake
manifold near the
intake port
Every cylinder is

provided with an
injector in its intake

CONCLUSION
Improved fuel consumption
Better for the environment
Better performance
