Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
FUEL INJECTORS
The Multec 2 fuel injector assembly is a solenoid device controlled by the control module that meters pressurized fuel to a single engine cylinder. The
control module energizes the high-impedance, 12 ohms, injector solenoid (2) to open a normally closed ball valve (3). This allows fuel to flow into the
top of the injector, past the ball valve, and through a director plate at the injector outlet. The director plate has four machined holes that control the fuel
flow, generating a spray of finely atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the injector tip is directed at the intake valve, causing the fuel to become
further atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion chamber. This fine atomization improves fuel economy and emissions.
