Foreword

Foreword

The Bravo-Brava 1242 16v vehicle is equipped with a 4 cylinder in line, 16 valve, 1242 cc engine with a twin overhead camshaft and Marelli IAW 4EF integrated electronic injection/ignition system.

The fuel system differs from the one described for the 1242 16v "99 range" version through the inclusion of several variants designed to make it compatible with the EEC Stage 3 EOBD regulations.

The main modifications to the system can be summarized as follows:

• New engine management control unit with ME7.3H4 code.
• Motorized throttle casing with potentiometer on accelerator pedal.
• Adoption of accelerometer on right front shock absorber attachment turret.
• Catalytic converter near the exhaust manifold to take maximum advantage of the heat of the gases.
• Two Lambda sensors, one upstream (front) and one downstream (rear) which check the quality of the exhaust gases and the operation of the catalyzer.
• Adoption of timing sensor on inlet side timing pulley.
• Adoption of rapid connectors for anti-evaporation system pipes.
• Cap on fuel filler with attachment cable.
