In the D- Jet brains, there is a power transistor acting as a switch for each pair of injectors, so in normal operation the pulse sent to an injector is just the system voltage minus the saturated voltage drop across that transistor, which is probably around 0.5 V. The L-Jet injectors are different. They use a series resistor for each injector to drop the voltage and eliminate inductive ringing. I'm not sure how the 12 V ends up getting divided between the injector and the resistor. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
