the Most Common Connector Types for Fuel Injectors
Share
We've mentioned connector types. But what are they and how do they affect a fuel injector?
The two most common plugs or connector styles for fuel injectors are the Jetronic/Minitimer (EV1) and the USCAR (EV6). They are named based on their housing shape and the type of prongs they use to connect.
Jetronic/Minitimer connectors are found on some older vehicles, as well as some Audi, VW, and BMW applications. USCAR is the standard way these injectors plug into an aftermarket ECU. These injectors plug into the injector driver circuit which is a ground-triggered relay commanded by the engine control unit
When shopping for fuel injectors, you will want to take note of the connector type to make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. If you're not sure, you can always check with the manufacturer or your local mechanic.
