speed results in reduced injection pressure.
Injection delay
The plunger’s downward movement produces
an initial pilot injection of fuel into the
combustion chamber. When the plunger groove
aligns with the spill port, high pressure fuel
can flow upward through the bottom of the
plunger and back into the fuel supply passage.
The resulting loss of high pressure fuel causes
The injectors operate in five stages: injection pressure to drop, closing the nozzle
check, and stopping injection for a short time.
Pre-injection
During this stage, the engine is running and
the injector is between firing cycles. All

The piston, in turn, pushes on the plunger.
A low actuation pressure results in a low fuel
injection pressure. Low injection pressures
work well with low speed conditions such as
idle and start-up. In contrast, a high actuation
pressure results in high fuel injection pressure.
High injection gives better throttle response
and reduced emission at higher speeds and
loads.
This system provides infinite control on
injection pressure in this range, regardless of
engine speed.
