L-jetronic Posted by DougM [Email] (#211) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DougM) on Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:04:04 In Reply to: jetronic, Bob, Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:51:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
D-jet was originally just called jetronic injection, until the name was changed with the introduction of other injection systems. Saab never used L-jetronic, but they did use a later variant of the system beginning in 1985 with the 16V engines, but it was called LH-jetronic. All 8 valve engines beginning in 1975 used the CIS/k-jet system.
Here's some info from a Bosch fuel injection book that I have.
"Bosch L-jetronic systems are installed in many makes of cars sold in the US, beginning in 1974. Considering licensed versions, L-jetronic has the largest worldwide installed base of any port-type injection system. The Bosch pulsed systems are developments of L-jetronic, excluding D-jetronic. That leads to an interesting name confusion. To contrast with the original D-jetronic, a pressure-controlled system, L-jetronic was described as AFC for Air Flow Control. As it turns out, all Jetronic systems that followed D-jetronic are air-flow or air-mass controlled, including the continuous systems".
