Abstract
The fuel injection device has a fuel pump, which has a pump piston that is driven by an engine and delimits a pump working chamber, which is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank and is connected to a fuel injection valve, which has an injection valve member that controls at least one injection opening and can be moved by the pressure generated in the pump working chamber in an opening direction counter to a closing force. A first control valve controls a connection of the pump working chamber to a discharge chamber, and a second control valve controls the pressure prevailing in a control pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve. The connection of the pump working chamber further contains a pressure-holding valve, which maintains a pressure that is higher than the pressure prevailing in the discharge chamber.
