1.0 L-JETRONIC INTRODUCTION The Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system used in the Porsche 912E is often referred to as the Air Flow Controlled or AFC fuel injection system. Originally, Volkswagen adapted the L-Jetronic for the Type 4 air cooled 411 engines sold in the United States due to more stringent emissions and fuel consumption regulations. It was also used in the Porsche 914 with the 1.8L engine and ultimately used in the Porsche 912E during the 1976 model year. The L-Jetronic w

COLD START: When the ignition switch is initially turned on during the Cold Start phase, it energizes the dual relay set which provides battery voltage to the control unit and injection valves. When the starter is engaged, the relay set provides battery voltage to the electric fuel pump, the cold start valve, the thermo-time switch, and the auxiliary air regulator. During cold start and all other load conditions, the fuel pressure regulator found in the 912E is able to maintain an equal

air during the idle period. This additional air is obtained via the auxiliary air regulator that provides a bypass around the throttle valve and allows air to enter directly into the manifold. This bypass route avoids any deflection by the throttle valve. However, the additional intake air that is provided through the auxiliary air device, does get detected by the air-flow sensor, which results in additional fuel being supplied at the fuel injectors. The compensation for the additional

provides good acceleration response. If sudden acceleration is required during the warm up phase of the engine, the acceleration enrichment provided by the over-swing of the sensor flap may not be sufficient. If this condition is encountered, then the electronic control unit also detects the speed of the deflection of the sensor flap and adjusts the fuel accordingly. ADAPTATION TO TEMPERATURE: Compensation for variations in air temperature must be made. This is due to the fact that

Failures in the L-Jetronics fuel injection system can be categorized into five major categories. The components associated with the potential failures are identified and measurements are provided which will allow the verification of each component’s operating condition. Please refer to the system diagrams provided in section 7.0 to assist in isolating the problem area. FAILURE CATEGORIES • Engine does not start • Acceleration not smooth • Engine misses • Rough idle • Engine sta

ENGINE DOES NOT START (continued) Possible Problem Procedure 1. Connect a pressure gauge to the tee found on the driver’s side of the fuel rail. Disconnect the wire from Cold Start Valve terminal 1 of the ignition coil. Operate starter briefly to build up fuel pressure. Disconnect electrical plug to the cold start valve and apply 12 volts to the pin 45 and ground to pin 46 of the cold start valve. The pressure gauge should drop slowly indicating the valve is (1) opening. 2. A

ENGINE DOES NOT START (continued) 1. Check the air-flow sensor function by removing the connection on the back of the sensor. Connect an Air Flow ohmmeter to the following contacts to verify sensor. Sensor Pins 6 and 9 200 – 400 ohms Pins 7 and 8 120 – 200 ohms Pins 6 and 27 2k Ohms at room temp (Temp Sensor) Pins 36 and 39. With the flap closed the resistance should be infinite. With the flap slightly open it should drop to 0 ohms. This measurement is the fuel

ROUGH ENGINE IDLE (continued) 1. Take the cover off of the throttle valve switch and verify that the Throttle Valve contacts are open with the throttle at Switch idle position. If throttle is placed in wide open position, then the contacts should make and the following reading should be detected. a. Pins 18 and 3 - 0 ohms with throttle valve wide open Set the idle speed to 925 +/- 50 rpms Idle Speed with the idle screw on the throttle (1) Setting housing. Set the CO readin

1. Verify the operation of each injection valve by disconnecting the electrical Fuel Injection supply to each injection valve, one at a time and determine if the engine speed Valves drops when the valve is disconnected. 2. If the speed drops, the valve is defective. 3. Measure the resistance of the coil of each injection valve. Should be 2-3 ohms. Fuel Pressure Verify the fuel pressure is correct. Air Flow Verify the air flow sensor is functioning Sensor properly. 1. Measure t
