Re: FW: what is "euro" fuel injection?

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

'Euro' injection is basically a bare-bones version of the Bosch CIS 
injection system. Generally speaking, fuel flow is controlled solely by the 
AFM - there is no frequency valve to modulate the control pressure and no 
knock sensors, therefore no ECU or other electronics involved. Warm-up 
compensation is provided by a warm-up regulator which regulates the control 
pressure to give increased fuel flow when cold - it's acting on the same 
circuit as the frequency valve on the lambda controlled systems. Some 
applications have a more sophisticated warm-up regulator which also has 
vacuum control to lean-out the mixture at part-load/overrun.
