Understanding how diesel injectors spray can help you understand injector diagnosis better. Electromagnetic – or solenoid – injectors have a traditional coil, like you would see for a gas injector.

Below the check ball is the inlet in the side of the injector for the high pressure fuel. The high-pressure fuel is applied to both the top and the bottom of the main injector servo-piston or nozzle.
