Fuel Injectors: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2019 Lincoln Navigator, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, 2019 Lincoln MKZ, 2019 Lincoln MKT, and 2019 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Do not apply battery positive (B+) voltage directly to the fuel injector electrical connector pins. Internal damage to the solenoid may occur in a matter of seconds.
The fuel injector is a solenoid operated valve that meters fuel flow to the engine. The fuel injector opens and closes a constant number of times per crankshaft revolution. The amount of fuel is controlled by the length of time the fuel injector is held open.
The fuel injector is normally closed and is operated by a 12 volt source from either the PCM power relay or fuel pump relay. The ground signal is controlled by the PCM.
The fuel injector is a deposit resistant injector (DRI) type and does not have to be cleaned. Install a new fuel injector if the flow is checked and found to be out of specification.
