Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuel Injection
The PCM controls fuel injectors to meter pulse width or time each injector is energized. Each injector receives battery voltage through ignition switch circuit. The PCM-controlled ground circuit completes circuit to energize injector. The PCM receives inputs from engine sensors to compute fuel flow necessary to maintain air/fuel mixture ratio throughout entire engine operational range.
Each cylinder has a solenoid-operated injector which sprays fuel toward back of each intake valve. Injector bodies consist of solenoid-actuated pintle and needle valve assembly.
