Function Manual (PGM-FI)

A PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) system is used to provide precise


.exhaust emission control, improved fuel economy and instantaneous response,
whatever the conditions.

In 1982 Honda introduced the CX500TC with Electronic Fuel injection.


Honda cars with the PGM-I-I system, based on that of the CX500 I C, were
produced soon after that with the introduction of the 1984 C M C .

Later followed the CX650 I C, the GL1200L I U, the NK/5OK and the KC45
HVF /SOH). I he VFK800I-1, CBH9OOKH, V I K1000SP-1, CBHI 100XX was the

" of PGM-FI and the CBRGOORR & CBRIOOORR are 4thand latest

Fuel Supply System


There are two systems employed by Honda:

System 1:

Fuel is pumped from the fuel tank, filtered, and delivered to the fuel injectors.
Each injector nozzle opens to inject fuel when a signal is received from the ECU
and excess fuel IS returned to the fuel tank via a return h e .

A pressure regulator maintains fuel pressure at a constant 255Kpa 1300Kpa I


350Kpa (depending on the model) higher than the intake manifold pressure, by
releasing any excessive fuel back to the fuel tank.

I he pump contains a check valve and a rehef valve.

The check valve opens when the pump is discharging. It closes when the pump
stops to retain residual pressure in the fuel h e , thus aiding engine restart.

The relief valve is normally closed. If fuel flow is obstructed at the discharge side

Exhaust emissions

The ideal "combustion" process of a 4-stroke engine converts fuel to oxygen (02)
and water vapor (H20). In reality, the combustion is not ideal.

Due to this, an engine produces some additional exhaust gas components:


HC: "Hydrocarbons"
bon monoxrde I1

0 2: "Carbon diox~de"
NO x: "Oxides of Nitrogen"

The catalytic converter

The function of the catalytic converter is to reduce the amount of toxic gases in
the exhaust gas by helping the chemical reaction caned "oxidization" to be more
efficient. The toxic CO, HC and NOx components in the exhaust gas are more
efficiently converted to C02, di-nitrogen (N2) and water vapor.

In cars, the platinum 1 radium "monolith type" catalytic converter is mounted in

This aidfuel ratio is called the stoichiometric ratio (Theoretically, this is the AIF
ratio for complete combustion). With the air / fuel ratio controlled around this
point by the oxygen sensor, the remaining toxic compounds in the exhaust gas
are more efficiently converted to non-toxic compounds.

How does this work?

The 0 2 sensor uses a hollow, closed-end shaft of Zirconium Dioxide with

In multi-cylinder engines, the oxygen sensor is insufficiently heated directly by
