Circuit Description
The injector solenoid valves are actuated by the electronic control module (ECM) to
control fuel metering and timing. Each injector solenoid is connected to the ECM by a
supply wire and a return wire. An electrical pulse is sent to the injector from the ECM on
the supply wire and returns to the ECM on the return wire after actuating the solenoid.
Each solenoid valve is normally open, and it is only closed by an electrical pulse from
the ECM during fuel injection and metering.
Component Location
The N14 has an external actuator harness. It extends from the C connector port in the
ECM and runs along the left side of the rocker boxes. There it attaches to the pass-
through connectors mounted in the side of each rocker box. The injector pigtail
connectors are attached to the internal side of the pass-through connectors.

Circuit Description
The injector solenoid valves are actuated by the electronic control module (ECM) to
control fuel metering and timing. Each injector solenoid is connected to the ECM by a
driver wire and a return wire. An electrical pulse is sent to the injector from the ECM on
the driver wire and returns to the ECM on the return wire after actuating the solenoid.
Each solenoid valve is normally closed, and it is only opened by an electrical pulse from
the ECM during fuel injection and metering.
Component Location
The injectors are located under the valve cover.
Shop Talk
Inspect the injector pigtail nuts and make sure no wires are shorting to ground
against any hardware under the valve cover.
Inspect the injector pigtail nuts and make sure they are tightened to the proper
torque value. Confirm that the pigtail nuts and solenoid post do not have damaged
threads.
Conditions
Turn keyswitch OFF.
Disconnect the engine
harness from the pass-
through connector.
Action
check for a short circuit to ground.
Measure the resistance from
the driver pin at the pass-
