The SFI provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion in the cylinders. The 8 solenoid-operated fuel injectors:
- are mounted in the intake manifold.
- meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
- are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
- are connected in series with the fuel pressure sensor.
A constant fuel pressure is maintained across the fuel injectors by the fuel pressure sensor. The fuel pressure sensor:
- is positioned upstream from the fuel injectors on the fuel rail.
