Fuel System Description EFI

The fuel injection system has a PCM controlled fuel injection pump mounted on top of the engine under the intake manifold. The pump is driven by the camshaft through two gears, one attached to the front of the camshaft and the other attached to the end of the pump shaft. These gears are the same size and have the same number of teeth; therefore, the injection pump shaft turns at the same speed as the camshaft.

The injection pump is a high pressure rotary type that is controlled by the PCM. The injection pump meters, pressurizes, and distributes fuel to the eight injector nozzles by way of eight high pressure lines. An outlet port in the injection pump allows the fuel to enter the fuel return system and then travel back to the fuel tank.

Injection Nozzles

(5)Needle Valve
(6)Pintle

Each cylinder has an identical fuel injection nozzle mounted in the pre-combustion chamber. As the pressure wave of injection reaches a nozzle, the needle valve is lifted against spring force and fuel exits into the pre-combustion chamber of the cylinder as a highly atomized spray. A small amount of fuel travels between the needle valve and pintle nozzle, providing lubrication. Two passages inside the upper half of the nozzle body allow fuel that has lubricated the needle valve to exit into the fuel return system.

The injection lines connect the high pressure discharge fittings on the head of the injection pump to the injection nozzles. The injection lines are pre-bent for correct routing and connect to the injection pump head as shown in the figure above. The injection lines are equal in length and interior volume.

Fuel Metering

The fuel metering is accomplished by the fuel solenoid driver by using the signals from the PCM in order to control the fuel injection solenoid.

Injection Timing

The injection timing stepper motor advances or retards the injection timing by the signals that are received from the PCM.

Engine Shutoff Solenoid

When not activated by the PCM, the engine shutoff solenoid blocks the fuel flow from entering the transfer pump inside of the injection pump and stops the engine operation.

Accelerator Control System
Object Number: 72269 Size: SH

The accelerator control system is an electronically controlled throttle type with an accelerator pedal attached to an accelerator pedal position module (2). This module sends the signals to the PCM which then controls the fuel injection pump.
