Task 

Function 

In the deceleration mode the ME-SFI control unit switches off the fuel injectors if, for example, in the case of engine 119:

The fuel injectors are switched on again if e.g. on engine 119:

The ignition timing point is briefly retarded when fuel injection recommences after deceleration fuel shutoff in order to prevent a sudden increase in torque.

After the deceleration mode, the mixture is briefly enriched in order to eliminate the enriched oxygen in the three way catalytic converters resulting from the deceleration mode. This ensures that an optimal conversion rate is more rapidly achieved.

IMPORTANT

Engine speed and coolant temperature differ depending on engine and transmission version.
