Cold Start Injector Time Switch: Description and Operation
Cold Start Injector Time Switch Circuit Schematic
PURPOSE
The cold start injector time switch controls operation of the cold start injector.
OPERATION
When the engine is cold, (below 60° F), and the starter is activated, the time switch will ground allowing the cold start injector to spray fuel into
the intake plenum.
Ground is interrupted in two ways. The first is by engine coolant temperature heating the switch to above its calibrated thermal point. This
prevents the cold start injector from injecting fuel on warm engine restarts. The second interuption is by the internal time switch heater. When the
starter is cranking, this heater will heat and break the circuit in approximately ten seconds or less to prevent engine flooding, if the engine does not
start immediately.
