🔍 Key Concepts

• Port-and-helix metering in a fuel injection pump barrel and plunger system • Difference between beginning of injection and end of injection timing • What it means when timing is based on port closing vs. port opening

💭 Think About

• Visualize the plunger moving up in the barrel: at what point does fuel pressure first become high enough to open the injector nozzle? Is that tied more closely to a port being covered (closed) or uncovered (opened)? • If the timing reference is port closing, which event in the injection process will tend to stay fixed (constant) as rack position changes, and which event will change (become variable)? • Think about how rotating the plunger helix with the fuel rack affects when the spill port is uncovered. Does that mainly change when injection stops or when it starts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which part of the cycle is controlled by plunger stroke vs. helix/port alignment • Determine whether start of injection or end of injection is locked to a fixed plunger position when the system is timed for port closing • Eliminate any choice that conflicts with how a helix controls the spill port uncovering, which is tied to cutting off injection
