Fuel Injector

The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated device controlled by the ECM. The ECM activates the solenoid which lifts a normally closed ball valve off its seat. Fuel under pressure is injected in a conical spray pattern at the walls of throttle body bore, above the throttle valve. Excess fuel passes through the pressure regulator and is returned to the fuel tank.
