How a Multi Point Injection System Works
- Multi-point fuel injection systems involve the use of numerous individual injectors for each cylinder. Multi-point fuel injection systems inject the fuel mixture into the intake port located upstream of the cylinder's intake valve, as opposed to single-point fuel injection, which injects fuel at a central point in the intake manifold.
- Sequential multi-point fuel injection systems use timed injections to coincide with the intake stroke of each cylinder. Batched sequential multi-point fuel injection systems inject fuel into groups without synchronizing injections. Simultaneous fuel injections injects the fuel mixture to all the cylinders at the same time.
- Benefits of multi-point fuel injection systems include lower gas consumption, due to the fact that the multi-point system delivers a more precise amount of gas to each cylinder, reducing wasted gas. This reduction of gas also results in less harmful emissions.
