Abstract

A fuel injection device for an internal combustion engines includes a housing with an injection end. A recess extends inside the housing contains an axially movable valve element, which cooperates with a valve seat and has a pressure surface oriented away from the injection end, which pressure surface axially delimits a control chamber. A device is provided which acts on the valve element counter to the force resultant of the pressure surface. A control valve is connected to the control chamber via a flow throttle. The control valve has at least three connections and at least two switching positions and is connected to a high-pressure fluid inlet and a low-pressure fluid outlet on the one side and be connected to the flow throttle on the other side.
