Fuel Injector: Description and Operation

Fuel Injector

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The fuel injector is a small, precise solenoid valve. When the ECM supplies a ground to the injector circuit, the coil in the injector is energized. The
energized coil pulls the needle valve back and allows fuel to flow through the injector into the intake manifold. The amount of fuel injected depends
upon the injection pulse duration. Pulse duration is the length of time the injector remains open. The ECM controls the injection pulse duration based
on engine fuel needs.
