Fuel Injector: Description and Operation

Fuel Injector:

PURPOSE AND LOCATION
There are 4 injectors (one for each cylinder), each of which is installed between the cylinder head and delivery pipe. It is an electromagnetic type injection nozzle which injects fuel into the intake port of the cylinder head according to the signal from ECM.


OPERATION
When the solenoid coil of the injector is energized by ECM, it becomes an electromagnet and attracts the plunger. At the same time, the needle valve which is incorporated with the plunger opens and the injector which is under the fuel pressure injects fuel. As the lift stroke of the needle valve of the injector is set constant, the amount of fuel injected at one time is determined by the length of time during which the solenoid coil is energized (injection time).
