    Injection Pump

    Print

    All vehicles are equipped with an electronically controlled pump. The electronic pump is driven by gears and rotates at the same speed as the camshaft. An electronic stepper motor used to control injection timing and a fuel solenoid driver used to control the fuel injection solenoid on the electronic model.
