When the ignition key is turned to the run position, battery voltage is applied to the solenoid coil, the electromagnetic field pulls the plunger open against its return spring, and fuel delivery to the injection pump is established. When the key is turned off, the electrical supply is removed, the spring return pushes the plunger closed, and fuel delivery is mechanically cut, stopping the engine regardless of the engine management system's state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnergise-to-Stop Configuration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A smaller number of diesel engine applications use an energise-to-stop solenoid configuration, the reverse arrangement, where the solenoid is energised momentarily to close the fuel circuit and stop the engine, rather than being held energised during running.
