Fuel Injector (Typical)

Fuel Injector (Typical):





The Sequential Multi-port Fuel Injection (SFI) fuel injector is a solenoid operated device controlled by the PCM The PCM energizes the solenoid which opens a valve to allow fuel delivery.

The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray pattern at the opening of the intake valve. Excess fuel not used by the injectors passes through the fuel pressure regulator before being returned to the fuel tank.

A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a loss of fuel pressure after engine shut down, causing long crank times to be noticed on some engines.
