On the high voltage wire for cylinder 4.
The KE-Motronic system is a combined ignition and injection system, controlled by a common electronic control unit. The injection part is designed similarly to the K-Jetronic system, but has additional electronic control. Thanks to electronics and additional sensors, more parameters can be involved and processed to control the amount of fuel injected. In addition, the regulation of the oxygen sensor for the operation of the catalytic converter is simplified. The idle engine warm-up regulator and the pressure regulator in the system are not needed with KE-Motronic.
The electrohydraulic actuator located at the fuel dispenser regulates the amount of fuel supplied to the valve injectors depending on the engine load mode. This means that the actuator ensures enrichment of the mixture during cold start and warm-up, as well as during acceleration and full engine load. In addition, the actuator shuts off the fuel supply when the engine is running in forced idle mode.
The diaphragm pressure regulator at the fuel dispenser maintains the pressure in the system in the range of 6.1-6.6 bar.
The activated carbon system prevents harmful fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere, the vapors that are released are stored in a container with activated carbon. During vehicle operation, the vapors, the flow of which is regulated by two electromagnetic valves, are directed to the engine for combustion. During operation, a memory device in the control unit recognizes any malfunctions that occur and stores codes for these malfunctions. If important sensors fail, the control unit switches to a temporary program to avoid engine stalling. In a VAG workshop, malfunctions are identified and purposefully eliminated based on the codes.
Caution: When working on mechanical injection systems, it is necessary to pay attention to impeccable cleanliness. Before dismantling, the relevant parts must be cleaned with gasoline. The system is under high pressure. Therefore, before replacing parts, to reduce the pressure, it is necessary to slowly unscrew the fuel line at the starting fuel valve. Beforehand, place a rag under the fuel line. Caution: risk of splashing! Collect spilled fuel with a rag.
