Fuel Shutoff Valve
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

Voltage is supplied to the fuel shutoff valve by the ECM while the engine keyswitch is ON. When the keyswitch is OFF, the voltage to the fuel shutoff valve is turned off by the ECM. The fuel shutoff valve closes and stops fuel from flowing to the fueling and timing actuators.

Component Location

The fuel shutoff valve is located on the fuel delivery housing, below the air inlet horn.

Shop Talk

Upon turning the keyswitch off, the ECM turns off the voltage supplied to keep the fuel shutoff open. The ECM continues to fire the fueling and timing actuators as the engine spins down. The ECM monitors fuel pressure using the fuel pressure sensor during this time. If the fuel pressure does
not drop after the fuel shutoff valve is turned off, the ECM activates this fault.
