Fuel Injector: Notes

The injector operation can be subdivided into four operating states with the engine running and the high-pressure pump generating pressure:

  1. Injector closed (with high pressure applied)
  2. Injector opens (start of injection)
  3. Injector opened fully
  4. Injector closes (end of injection)
