Fuel system: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2013 MINI Cooper, and 2012 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 4-cylinder N16 gasoline engine works with an individual-cylinder, fully sequential fuel injection. The individual-cylinder, fully sequential fuel injection has the following advantages:
- Optimized fuel preparation for each individual cylinder
- Adaptation of the fuel injection period to suit the engine's operating condition (engine speed, load, temperature)
- With changing loads, cylinder-selective injection correction (during an intake stroke, the fuel injection period can be corrected by a later injection, an extension or shortening)
- Cylinder-selective cutoff (e.g. when an ignition coil is defective) is possible
- Diagnosis of each individual fuel injector is possible.
