    Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of a solenoid activated fuel injector, the fuel injector including an actuator including a solenoid, and being adapted to control a needle valve dependent on an activation pulse sent to the solenoid to control the needle valve to dispense fuel.
    The method comprises the steps of:



    a) determining the minimum drive pulse (MDP1) required for the needle valve to open;
    b) determining the closing response of the injector during MDP conditions;
    c) determining the total operational time during MDP conditions of the injector;
    d)—determining the difference between the value determined from step c) and a stored value;
    e) determining the value of the difference between the opening delay of the injector and a stored the opening delay of the reference injector from step d); and
    f) controlling the operation based on the parameter at e).
