Fuel D
istribution
Fuel is supplied to th
e engine
via eight fuel injectors (one pe r cylinder). The injectors are located in two fuel rails which r un
the length of each cylinder bank and ar e integral with the air intake manifold.
Fuel pumped from the tank enters a feed pipe at the rear of bank 2. Fuel flow is along bank 2 fuel rail, across the top front
of the engine (cross-over pipe) and through bank 1 fuel rail, the unused fuel re turning to the tank via a pressure regulator.
The fuel injectors are each controlled electrically from the engine control module (ECM).
A test valve is fitted to the cross-over pipe connecting the fu el rails at the front of the intake manifold. This valve allows the
fuel system to be depr essurized during servicin g and troubleshooting.
Fuel Injector
Eight, side-fed, dual straight-jet fuel injectors are fi tted in the fuel rails.
The injector consists of a solenoid, core, needle valve and ho using. When a control signal from the ECM is applied to the
solenoid coil, the needle valve lifts up and fuel is injected under pressure into the intake port. The fuel sprays from the
injectors are directed onto the back of the intake valves.
The injection quantity is determined by the length of time that the ECM signal is applied to the solenoid coil.
The injectors installed in the fuel rails of supercharged engines are of a higher flow rating than those installed in normally
aspirated engines and are secured in position by spring clips. Seals are instal led between the injector mounts of the fuel
rails and the related re cesses in the charge air cooler adaptors.
Pressure Regulator
Page 1016 of 2490
Pa
rts List
The pressure regulator is a diap hragm-operated valve that regula tes fuel-rail pressure at 3,0 bar above the intake manifold
pressure. A pipe connects the throttle induction elbow to the pressure regulator to provide the vacuum control signal. On
supercharged engines, the pressure regulator vacuum feed is taken from the top of the supercharger outlet duct.
The regulator is fitted between the rear end of the right-hand fuel rail (bank 1) and the fuel return line to the tank.
