COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The fuel injector isasmall, precise solenoid valve.Whenthe
ECM supplies aground tothe injector circuit,thecoil
in
the
injector isenergized. Theenergized coilpulls theneedle valve
back andallows fueltoflow through theinjector intotheintake
manifold. Theamount offuel injected depends upontheinjec-
tion pulse duration. Pulseduration isthe length oftime the
injector remains open.TheECM controls theinjection pulse
