FUEL INJECTOR
FUEL INJECTOR
There are individual fuel injectors for all four cyl-
inders. These fuel injectors are used to spray fuel
into the combustion chamber (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The injector operation can be subdivided into four
operating states with the engine running and the
high-pressure pump generating pressure:
²Injector closed (with high pressure applied)
²Injector opens (start of injection)
²Injector opened fully
²Injector closes (end of injection)
Injector closed (with high pressure applied)
With the injector closed (at-rest state), the solenoid
valve is not energized and is therefore closed. With
the bleed orifice closed, the valve spring forces the
armature's ball onto the bleed-orifice seat. The rail's
high pressure build up in the valve control chamber,
and the same pressure is also present in the nozzle's
chamber volume. The rail pressure applied at the
control plunger's end face, together with the force of
the nozzle spring, maintain the nozzle in the closed
position against the opening forces applied to its
pressure stage (Fig. 2).

Injector opens (start of injection)
The solenoid valve is energized with the pickup
current which serves to ensure that it open quickly.
The force exerted by the triggered solenoid now
exceeds that of the valve spring and the armature
opens the bleed orifice. Almost immediately, the high-level pick-up current is reduced to the lower holding
current required for the electromagnet. This is possi-
ble due to the magnetic circuit's air gap now being
smaller. When the bleed orifice opens, fuel can flow
from the valve control chamber into the cavity situ-
ated above it, and from there via the fuel return to
the tank. The bleed orifice prevents complete pres-
sure balance, and the pressure in the valve control
chamber sinks as a result. This leads to the pressure
in the valve-control chamber being lower than that in
the nozzle's chamber volume which is still at the
same pressure level as the rail. The reduced pressure
in the valve-control chamber causes a reduction in
the force exerted on the control plunger, the nozzle
needle open as a result, and injection starts (Fig. 2).
Injector opens fully
The control plunger reaches its upper stop where it
remains supported by a cushion of fuel which is gen-
erated by the flow of fuel between the bleed and feed
orifices. The injector nozzle has now opened fully,
and the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber
at a pressure almost equal to that in the fuel rail
(Fig. 2).
Injector closes (end of injection)
As soon as the solenoid valve is no longer trig-
gered, the valve spring forces the armature down-
wards and the ball closes the bleed orifice. The
armature is a 2±piece design. Here, although the
armature plate is guided by a driver shoulder in its
downward movement, it can ªoverspringº with the
return spring so that it exerts no downwards-acting
forces on the armature and the ball. The closing of
the bleed orifice lead to pressure build up in the con-
trol chamber via the input from the feed orifice. This
pressure is the same as that in the rail and exerts an
increased force on the control plunger through its
end face. This force, together with that of the spring,
now exceeds the force exerted by the chamber volume
and the nozzle needle closes. Injection ceases as soon
as the nozzle needle comes up against its bottom stop
again (Fig. 2).

BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The boost pressure sensor is mounted to the top of
the intake manifold. The sensor allows the ECM to
monitor air pressure within the intake manifold. The
boost pressure sensor is also used as an intake air
temperature sensor (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
When the intake manifold pressure is low (high
vacuum) sensor voltage output is 0.25-1.8 volts at the
ECM. When the intake manifold pressure is high due
to turbo boost, sensor voltage output is 2.0-4.7 volts.
The sensor receives a 5-volts reference from the
ECM. Sensor ground is also provides by the ECM.
The ECM uses boost pressure combined with intake
air temerature to determine the volume of air enter-
ing the engine.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BOOST PRESSURE
SENSOR
If the boost pressure sensor fails, the ECM records
a DTC into memory and continues to operate theengine in one of the three limp-in modes. When the
ECM is operating in this mode, a loss of power will
be present, as if the turbocharger was not operating.
The best method for diagnosing faults with the boost
pressure sensor is with the DRB IIItscan tool. Refer
to the Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more
information.
Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in Emissions Con-
trol System for a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC's) for certain fuel system components.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The boost pressure sensor/intake air temperature
sensor is located in the top of the intake manifold
(Fig. 6). The intake air temperature sensor is used to
measure the intake air temperature. The intake air
temperture sensor is a dual purpose sensor. It is also
used as a boost pressure sensor.
OPERATION
The intake air temperature sensor is a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor (resistance
varies inversly with temperature). This means at
cold air temperature its resistance is high, sothe volt-
age signal will be high. As intake air temperature
increases, sensor resistance decreases and the signal
voltage will be low. This allows the sensor to provide
an analog voltage signal (0.2-4.8 volts) to the ECM.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove engine cover retaining bolts and cover-
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE COVER - REMOVAL).
