The 2.0L engine uses a Nippondenso mechanical high pressure fuel injection pump. The injection pump meters an exact amount of fuel to the fuel injectors, as required by engine operating conditions.

Fuel injection pump is belt-driven, by camshaft, through rear camshaft timing belt. High pressure fuel lines deliver fuel from injection pump to injection nozzles mounted in the cylinder head.

A fuel filter/conditioner is located in the fuel line between the fuel tank and injection pump. A quick start and afterglow system is used to assist in starting when engine is cold.
