Abstract
FIG. 1 schematically shows a fuel control system for a fuel injected engine. The system includes two vacuum control circuits, essentially identical in valve structure. One circuit controls the recirculation of exhaust gases into the engine intake manifold 14 and a change in engine ignition timing in response to engine throttle valve 34 angle by a regulator 310, in response to changes in engine temperature by a signal reducer 312, and in response to engine load by a manifold vacuum sensitive valve 314. A second circuit controls the engine fuel injection pump fuel flow rate as a function of changes in throttle valve angle by a valve 420, engine temperature levels by a valve 422, and load levels by a valve 424 to adjust an engine air/fuel ratio controller 52 to maintain either a base air/fuel ratio or air/fuel ratios as called for by the particular engine operating conditions.
