Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016091520A1] Disclosed is a method for operating a fuel injector comprising at least one injection port controlled by an injector needle, wherein pressure variations when the injector needle is opened and/or closed are determined using a sensor. Said method is characterized in that in order to determine the opening/closing time of the injector needle, a variable characterizing the speed of sound is measured by opening and/or closing a shock wave, and the wave propagation time by which the opening/closing time of the needle or valve is corrected is deduced therefrom.
