Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

General System Description

PURPOSE
The Mitsubishi electronically controlled multipoint injection system (ECI-MULTI) maintains emission levels and fuel economy within government agency standards, while optimizing driveability. The system consists of an electronic control unit (ECU), control relay, wiring, sensors and actuators.

OPERATION
The ECU uses an 8-bit microprocessor, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM) and an Input/Output (I/0) interface. The control relay supplies positive current to the purge solenoid, ECU, and injectors. It also supplies current to the fuel pump during starting.

The system also performs self-diagnostic procedures and provides back-up functions if certain circuits fail.
