The fuel injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine. Precisely delivered fuel maintains a rhythm or timing that keeps the engine running smooth. Simultaneously, the pump also controls the amount of fuel needed to gain the desired power. The injection pump does the job of both the throttle and the ignition system needed in gasoline engines. When troubleshooting a gasoline engine, you check compression, fuel, and spark. A diesel doesnt have an ignition system, so there is one less thing to go wrong with it. Major advances in the development of the diesel engine are a direct result of better fuel injection. (Here is how the injection pump works) :D
