Fuel System: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fuel system supplies the sequential multi-port fuel injection (SFI) fuel injectors with clean fuel at a controlled pressure. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the fuel pump and monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit. The PCM controls the fuel injector on/off cycle duration and determines the correct timing and amount of fuel delivered. If the injectors have been replaced it is necessary to clear the learned values contained in the keep alive memory (KAM) in the PCM. For more information, refer to RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) .
