Gasoline direct injection (GDI) is a fuel delivery system in gasoline internal combustion engines. The system represents the latest technologies in fuel injection and utilizes a high pressure common rail accumulator assembly which injects the fuel mixture directly into the engine's combustion chambers. GDI systems offer improved fuel efficiency, higher output power values, no throttle losses, and more flexible engine timing capabilities. In conjunction with computerized engine control units (ECU), a gasoline direct injection system can deliver a range of fuel/air mixture combinations not possible with carburetor and older multi-point fuel injection engines. These factors mean GDI equipped vehicles are not only more powerful and economical, but far more responsive throughout the full range of possible driving conditions. Fuel injection systems function by pumping fuel under pressure through a small nozzle into various points in the engine's air intake section. The atomized fuel then enters the engine cylinders where it burns during the combustion cycle. O lder single point, multi-point, and continuous injection systems introduced the fuel into the air stream via throttle controls or at a point adjacent to the cylinder intake valves. Gasoline direct injection systems differ in that they inject the atomized fuel directly into the cylinder combustion chamber.
