ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a fuel injector having a piezoelectric actuator operable by applying a drive pulse thereto, wherein the drive pulse has a frequency domain signature. The method includes i) determining at least one resonant frequency of an injector installation in which the injector is received, in use, and ii) modifying the drive pulse such that a maximum of the frequency domain signature thereof is remote from the determined resonant frequency of the injector installation.
