Heres a question for all you technical die hards that would have to know everything about efi(or at least one thing..)

Does anybody know how many mL of fuel passes through a fuel injector before a pulse is given to the trip computer on an XF fairmont ghia??? Or how many pulses it gives after 0.1 litres??

The reason for the question is that I have the trip computer on an XF with no efi and hence the fuel part doesn't work as it should. And i recently found a fuel flow sensor that you put in series with your fuel line and it produces 780 pulses every 0.1 litre. Would this work if I bought it. Its a costly little device at $130 + $11 shipping. I don't want to waste that money. Either way its cheaper than fitting EFI.

Cheeeeeers

Don't know about the XF but the EA to ED Ford Manual says of testing the trip computer using the Ford diagnostic unit ".... the tester presents to the trip computer a constant pulse frequency of 30 Hz at 7.5 milliseconds simulating constant fuel consumption."

Hmm and Probst book says in a typical SFI Ford at 60 mph 0.0015 kg of fuel is burned per second and each injector gives 16 pulses per second. He also says MPEFI may fire 4 times as often and deliver 1/4 as much fuel per second. Doesn't answer your question but if you know how much a litre of fuel weighs it might tell you if you are within cooee.

I give up; a very good question I can't find an answer to. Some of the docs here: http://www.acc-electronics.com/cloud/tc_eec.htm might hold the answer. And this guy may know: http://acc-electronics.com/cloud/efi/amarch/eec.

Thanks for those replies AB. I should be able to put some of that information to good use.

Cheers

Hi Matt,

Well we could hang a CRO of the DOL pin and see what we get.
Then I could could hang a Pseudo encoder off the EEC Fairmont Ghia and crack the VAF open a tad and measure the injector pulse width. That would give us a DOL vs mS function.

Or you could just forget it because it doesn't make any hp. (giggle)

CRO??? DOL??? Can you translate that to english??

CRO - Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
DOL Don't know perhaps mistyped DIL pins -DIL (Dual-In-Line)
Two parallel rows of connection holes on a PCB. Also refers to the type of connector needed with this array. or perhaps mistyped DIP pins.

DOL Hmmm Diognostic Output Line?
DOL Dodgie Old Link?
