It's called throttle body injection. The throttle body, the thing people think is a carburetor, holds one or two injectors which spray fuel into the manifold. I have seen an aftermarket set-up with four injectors in the TB.
Now we have direct injection. High voltage injectors spray fuel into the combustion chamber under 1200psi. What could go wrong?
