In my previous post I meant to say that late injection is used (when
appropriate) to prevent the fuel from sticking to the manifold walls, not the
cylinder walls ... as well as to prevent puddling on top of a closed intake
valve. IMHO puddling is a major factor in low-rpm misfire for a multitude of
reasons. Early injection starts as soon as the intake valve closes while late
injection (used only when the angular-duration of the injection pulses is less
than 90 deg) starts after the TDC when the intake valve has already started to
open and air has started moving in the manifold runner.

Ray,
Can you relate "late as possible"and "early as possible" to engine events?
I don't do much cold engine work considering most of my work is on race
cars. If it is too cold, they don't come out of the trailer.
However, for a warm engine, we are typically firing our idle pulses
slightly before the intake valve open event and our wide open throttle
pulses are ending before the intake valve close event. I know for a
while it was Ford corporate policy to not fire on an open intake valve
due to bore wash concerns.
