Abstract
Problems associated with warm engine starting of spark-ignition internal combustion engines with continuous injection into the intake manifold and fuel injection systems of the type utilizing a measuring element and a deliberately operable power control element connected in series, the measuring element being moved as a function of the air volume through-put so as to displace a fuel valve disposed in a fuel supply line for metering a volume of fuel which is proportional to the air volume and which has a warmup control connected by a control pressure line with the fuel valve and a zero-pressure fuel return line with a fuel tank for enriching the fuel-air mixture during the warmup of the internal combustion engine are avoided according to the present invention by an improvement comprising a bypass line interconnecting the control pressure line of the fuel pressure line in bypassing relationship with respect to the warmup control. A valve is disposed in the bypass line and is controlled so as to open the bypass line when the engine is started in a warmed up condition. According to a preferred embodiment, the operating parameter in response to which the valve is controlled is the temperature of the internal combustion engine.
