Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for operating a high pressure injection pump to provide each of high fixed fuel pressure at a first direct injection fuel rail and high variable fuel pressure at a second direct injection fuel rail. The direct injection fuel rail pressure can be raised above a pressure provided with a lift pump via a fuel system configuration that includes various check valves, pressure relief valves, and a spill valve positioned between an inlet of the high pressure injection pump and the port injection fuel rail. Fixed and variable high pressure direct injection may be advantageously used to provide learn the ballistic region of each direct injector.
