Fuel Pump Relay

The V8 engine has a returnless fuel system. The system pressure is maintained at a constant 4 bar (59 Psi), with no reference to intake manifold pressure. The fuel is supplied to the injectors from a fuel pump fitted within the fuel tank. The electrical supply to this fuel pump is controlled by the ECM via a relay and an Inertia Switch which will turn the fuel off upon a vehicle impact. The fuel system is pressurized as soon as the ECM is powered up, the pump is then switched off until engine start has been achieved.
