My engine is a direct injection turbodiesel.

The injectors are opened with a peak voltage of 80 volts and a peak current of 20 amps. This initial opening phase is extremely short - only 0.3 milliseconds. A holding voltage of 50 volts is then used to maintain the injectors' open position. These very high voltages are obtained by using capacitors within the ECU - the ECU charges these up by sending electrical pulses to the coils of the injectors that aren't working, with the resulting induced voltage enough to charge the corresponding capacitor. Weird but it works!
