Injector Wiring

Post by 8803 »

I am using a throttle body injection. The injector has only (2) wires. One is +12v and the other is ground according to its manual. The MS2 wiring shows a +12v coming from the Main Relay and another wire coming from Pin 32 of the DB37 connector. Does that mean Pin 32 is an ECU controlled ground?

That's exactly how it works - by connecting the injector to ground for a tiny fraction of a second at a time, current flows, the injector opens for that brief moment, and a carefully calculated spurt of fuel is sprayed into the engine.

The throttle body I am using has a low impedance injector(1.2ohms) I plan on putting an Omite ballast resistor(825F7RS per MS manual) in series to limit current. Where should this resistor be put. In series with the switched 12+ source to the injector or between the MS(pin 32) and injector?

Don't bother - the MS can be set up for PWM current limiting, allowing you to run a Lo-Z injector with no resistor.

Thanks for the help. One less part to buy and wire. I will start in TunerStudio.

DITTO!

IIRC we are using the same injectors. I strictly use PWM and have no problems with it at all!
