Use a buck convertor to replace fuel *injectors' resistors, has any1 here succeeded ?

Oct 05, 2008 7 Replies

I tried to use a 3 amp output capacity buck convertor ( with auto voltage i.e. self adjusts PWM timing ratios if input voltage fluctuates e.g. when starter motor cranks engine & battery voltage drops to 9v ) & 2 700mAh lithium batteries ( to feed 4v to * when b-c could not, during engine cranking ) to replace my honda F20a 's *' resistors. I fitted 2 1" inductor rings & 15000F to damp b-c's +ve 12-14v input. This engine could start & run, but [i] the usual open loop ( when ECU activates * til O2 sensor produces a voltage of 0.65v ) did not appear [ii] when I step on throttle to accelerate car, ECU could not activate injectors long enough to inject enough fuel ( this inadequacy was visible on my digital voltmeter which receives & reports O2 sensor's output ), so acceleration was less than usual. This ECU ( made by NEC in 1990 ) [i] activates * by connecting *'



-ve ground, [ii] seems cannot function as usual if I draw +ve 12-14 v from cigarette lighter socket, I'll try to draw +ve 12-14v from ECU & see if ECU can work as usual.

I'm amazed to see many of my posts to newsgroups listed by Google, but cannot find any reply to this thread. Does Google run a newsgroup service like some ISP`s do ?

no. their newsgroup service is unique!

formatting link
most users who post through it use it to send spam, so many people have it filtered. however it's free, easily accessable, and searchable.

BTW: looks like you got no replies.

what are you hoping to gain by this substitution?

Have you tried the websites of Motorola, On-Semi, ST Microelectronics, National Semiconductor, and other companies that produce chips for automotive use? Their applications notes have a great deal of practical information about driving solenoid valves.

Correction : 3 amp, 42w maximum..
