Fuel Charging and Controls

FUEL CHARGING AND CONTROLS

The fuel charging and control system consists of the:
- throttle body
- fuel injectors
- fuel charging wiring
- fuel injection supply manifold
- fuel pulse damper
- fuel pressure relief valve

The fuel charging and controls system is:
- a sequential, multiport fuel injection (SFI) system.
- pulse-width modulated.
- mass air flow controlled.

The fuel injection supply manifold:
- delivers fuel to the individual fuel injectors.
- receives fuel from the fuel supply line.

The throttle body:
- controls air supply to the intake manifold by positioning the throttle plate.
- connects the accelerator cable and, if equipped, the speed control actuator cable to the throttle plate.

The fuel injectors:
- are electrically operated by the powertrain control module (PCM).
- atomize the fuel as the fuel is delivered.
- are deposit-resistant and self-cleaning.
- each have an internal solenoid which opens a needle valve to inject fuel into the lower intake manifold.

The fuel pressure relief valve is used to monitor and relieve fuel pressure.

The fuel pulse damper:
- reduces fluctuation of the fuel pressure during injector operation.
