Fuel injector having dual solenoid control valves

A method of operating a fuel injector, including an injector body, a fuel inlet, and at least one orifice, the method comprising:

• pressurizing fuel;
• supplying the pressurized fuel to the fuel inlet;
• operating a first check valve member to fluidly connect the fuel inlet to the at least one orifice via a first passageway and a first nozzle chamber in the injector body;
• injecting a first amount of the fuel from the at least one orifice;
• operating a second check valve member to fluidly connect the fuel inlet to the at least one orifice via a second passageway and a second nozzle chamber in the injector body;
• and
• selectively injecting a second amount of the fuel from the at least one orifice;
• wherein the first check valve member is movable between a closed position where the first check valve member blocks a flow of fuel through the at least one orifice, and an open position where the first check valve member does not block a flow of fuel through the at least one orifice.
