Circuit Description

When engine is being cranked, intake airflow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is necessary to achieve good startability. While engine is being cranked, 9-14 volts is supplied to ECM terminal STA. Starter signal is mainly used to increase fuel injection pulse for starting injection control and after-start injection control.

NOTE: The following test assumes starter cranks normally with ignition in START position. If starter does not crank normally, check and repair starter circuit before continuing with this test.
