The sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI) provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion in the cylinders. The 8 solenoid-operated fuel injectors:

  • are mounted in the intake manifold.
  • meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
  • are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
  • are connected in series with the fuel pressure sensor.
  • supply fuel from the fuel tank with a fuel pump mounted in the fuel tank.

A constant fuel pressure is maintained across the fuel injectors by the fuel pressure sensor. The fuel pressure sensor:

  • is positioned upstream from the fuel injectors on the fuel injection supply manifold.
