Fuel Cut Solenoid
Fuel Cut Solenoid
The fuel cut solenoid [A] is in the fuel injection pump.
When the main switch is turned to the “START” position,
the fuel solenoid is energized and the solenoid valve [B]
lifts against the spring [C] and opens the fill port [D] to the
pressure chamber.
When the switch is returned to the “ON” position, after the
engine has started, the current flows through a resistor to
the solenoid, reducing the current slightly but maintaining
enough energy to hold the valve open.
Turning the main switch to the “OFF” position shuts off the
current to the solenoid. With no current to hold the valve,
the spring forces the valve to close the fill port, thus shutting
off the fuel supply and the engine.
Fuel Cut Solenoid Inspection
•
When the main switch is turned ON, check that the fuel
cut solenoid makes a clicking sound (operating sound).
If the fuel injection pump does not click, replace it, or con-
sult a reliable fuel injection pump repair shop (ex. Denso
Service Station).
