To realize the compatibility between low exhaust
emission and high engine output, an HEUI
(Hydraulically actuated Electronically controlled Unit
Injector) system, has been introduced. This system is
comprised of a hydraulic system, fuel system, and
electronic control system, using a high-pressure oil
pump in place of the conventional fuel injection pump.
The oil pressurized by means of this pump and by
signals from the ECM (Electronic Control Module)
actuates the fuel injector provided for each cylinder.
Inside of the fuel injector, fuel pressure is increased due
to the high-pressure oil. The ECM detects the driving
state of the vehicle, forms, signals sent by engine and
other part sensors, which determines the optimum fuel
injection amount and timing, thus controlling the fuel
injectors. Thus high engine output, good fuel economy,
and low exhaust emission are realized.When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
1) Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except for
those tests where battery voltage is required.
2) Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
3) Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings
that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O” rings. Replace where
required.
4) Always relieve the line pressure before servicing
any fuel system components.
5) Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.
6) After maintenance work, push priming pump and
send enough fuel to the fuel system before starting
the engine.
NOTE: In comparison with the conventional engine,
the capacity of fuel passage in the 4JX1 engine is
larger. It takes the priming pump more time to fill the
engine with fuel.

FUEL FILTER
Legend
(1) Priming Pump
(2) Fuel Filter Cartridge
A cartridge type fuel filter is used along with the piston
type fuel pump on the high pressure oil pump.
The fuel filter removes foreign material from the fuel
before it reaches the fuel pump.
A diaphragm type priming pump is installed at the top of
the fuel filter. It is used during the air bleeding
procedures.

1. Construction of Fuel Injector
The fuel injector is comprised of the solenoid
section, hydraulic line, and fuel line. Fuel injection is
controlled by the continuity time signal and
continuity start timing signal sent by the ECM
(Electronic Control Module) to the solenoid.
2. Working of Fuel Injector
1) The ECM detects the working of the engine from
its input signals, such as engine speed
accelerator throttle opening, and engine coolant
temperature, sending the optimal signals to the
solenoid.
