1 Introduction
The primary function of the GE PowerStar Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) control, for Stationary Genset and Marine
applications, is engine speed control under varying loads. Additional functions include engine protection and start-stop
control.
Advantages of an EFI controlled engine are to reduce specific fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and improve engine
reliability while maintaining the same engine horsepower. The EFI controller enforces rate limits on speed, acceleration
and deceleration, limits loading according to lube oil temperature and pressure, limits fueling to prevent smoke
discharge and protects the engine against overspeed, overload, low oil pressure, low water pressure, and positive
crankcase pressure. The EFI controller supports both forward and reverse rotating engines.
PowerStar’s operating requirements and functions are defined in the EFI Controller’s SFS 84A213165AB and Purchase
Specifications 84A213165AC, AD, & AE.
The PowerStar EFI control resides in two controllers, the Speed Reference & Load Control (SRLC) and the Engine
Governor Unit (EGU).
The SRLC manages the speed and load functions as well as start-stop control. The functions are software driven within
the SRLC micro processor (µP).
The EGU is also a µP based controller with imbedded software which determines the amount of fuel injected into each
cylinder by controlling the high-pressure fuel pump solenoid.

measuring the continuity between the plug’s pin and the correct terminating connection within 0 to 0.5 ohms. Each test
shall also check for shorts by cross checking all pins within the plug to the tested terminating connection and to test the
terminating connection to ground. Each cross check tests shall measure infinite resistance.
