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 Control
The ECM controls fuel injector timing and pulse width based on sensor inputs. ECM uses the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine when to pulse each injector. ECM uses engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature, airflow and throttle position information to calculate injector pulse width. Each fuel injector is pulsed once for each cylinder for every 2 crankshaft rotations. During cranking, all injectors are pulsed simultaneously until engine starts. During engine operation, each injector is sequentially pulsed.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
