The throttle body injection (TBI) system is earliest & simplest type of fuel injection, single point simply replaces the carburetor with one or two fuel injector nozzles in the throttle body, which is the throat of the engine’s air intake manifold. The throttle body injection assembly typically consists of the following: throttle body housing, fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, throttle positioner, throttle position sensor, and throttle plates. ADVANTAGES It is less expensive than using other types of fuel injection systems. It is easier to clean, maintain and service because there are fewer parts. It is cheaper to manufacture than a port injection system and simpler to diagnose. It also does not have the same level of injector balance problems that a port injection system might have when the injectors are clogged. It greatly improves the fuel metering compared to a carburetor. You do not have to make any changes to the TBI intake manifold. You also do not have to change the throttle linkage. Instead, use the existing linkage, air cleaners and carbs to install the system. It is also capable of logging data and can be programmed for ignition and fuel. The TBI system is that it learns and understands your habits when driving so it can easily map out your actions and the performance of the engine DISADVANTAGES It is almost the same as a TBI carburetor wherein the fuel is not equally distributed to all the cylinders. This means that the air/fuel mixture injected differs for each cylinder. It can cool the manifold much faster causing the fuel to puddle and condense in the manifold. The possibility of condensation is much higher since the fuel travels longer from the throttle body to the combustion chamber. Since the system needs to be mounted on top of the combustion chamber, you're prevented from modifying the manifold design to improve your car's performance. It is a wet system and the mixture of fuel is still based per cylinder. The MPFI is a system or method of injecting fuel into internal combustion engine through multi ports situated on intake valve of each cylinder. It delivers an exact quantity of fuel in each cylinder at the right time. Types of multi point fuel injection (MPFI) systems There are basically three types of MPFI systems. Sequential multi point fuel injection system In the sequential MPFI system, injection is timed to overlap with intake stroke of each cylinder.
Simultaneous multi point fuel injection system
In the simultaneous MPFI system, fuel is inserted to all cylinders at the same time.
Batched multi point fuel injection system
In the batched MPFI system, fuel is injected to the cylinders without bringing their intake stroke together. ADVANTAGES
Improve Fuel Efficiency
Low Carbon Emissions
Improve Engine Response
Effective Fuel Utilization
DISADVANTAGES
o Disadvantages of multi point fuel injection (MPFI)
system
o There could be a case of misfiring sometimes
o Regular inspection of fuel injectors is required
o It is costly as compared to conventional systems
