Fuel exits the injector in a fine mist. An electromagnetic coil opens the injector whenever the &ldquo;drivers&rdquo; in the ECM\/PCM are triggered to activate the injector coil. These &ldquo;drivers&rdquo; are actually powerful transistors within the ECM\/PCM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On standard MPI fuel injection, the injector is a two-wire circuit, with one side receiving system voltage (+) by way of a relay. The other side of the injector receives a ground pulse from the ECM\/PCM, and the length of that pulse each time the injector fires is calculated based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/car-engine-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"engine\">engine<\/a> load, coolant and air temperature, barometric pressure, and a few other factors. When the throttle is initially opened from idle to part throttle, a few extra injector pulses are added between the regular injector events, because they&rsquo;re needed at that point to prevent the engine from stumbling (think &ldquo;accelerator pump&rdquo; on a carburetor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The injectors initially fire simultaneously as the engine is spinning, but after the engine starts, the injectors fire following the firing order of the cylinders. The injector delivers its fuel before the intake valve opens on that cylinder and the intake air carries the mist into the cylinder when the valve opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>crankshaft sensor<\/strong> determines the cadence of injector firing. As the engine speed increases, so does the speed of the injector pulses, but again, each injector pulse is modified based on load, temperature, etc. The <strong>camshaft sensor<\/strong> is used on most platforms to determine which injector to fire first and when each injector should and should not fire based on crankshaft angle and piston stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gasoline Direct Injection plays by different rules; while the injector is still a two-wire solenoid (except for on some Euro engines with piezo injectors), both the ground side of the injector AND the positive side are operated by the ECM\/PCM. The fuel pressure is higher, so a high burst of initial voltage is provided to GDI coil injectors to pop their pintle open against those thousands of pounds of pressure, and the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder rather than being carried into the cylinder by the intake air stream like MPI fuel spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"p0201 code fuel injector diagram\" class=\"wp-image-80505\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/p0201-code-fuel-injector-diagram.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Fuel injector diagram | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a New Fuel Injector to Clear the P0201 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily drives are much more enjoyable when you&rsquo;ve got an optimized engine.
