Jerk pump fuel injection systems consist of high-pressure pumps and pressure-operated spray valves or nozzles that are separate components. In some engines, such as the Alco, there is only one pump and one nozzle for each cylinder. In other engines, such as the Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston engine, each cylinder has two pumps and two nozzles. Most of the injection event is carried out by the pump itself. The pump raises pressure, meters the fuel, and times the injection. The nozzle is simply a spring-loaded check valve that reacts to the pressure supplied from the high-pressure pump.

What is the name given to contraction phase of the cardiac cycle?

The contraction phase of the cardiac cycle is called systole. This is when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system.

It doess that because the fuel pump is being shifted and the gas is being pressured causing a sudden jerk.
