Fuel injection valve

A fuel injection valve having a tubular valve body (10), on one end of which a fuel outlet having at least one controlled injection opening (12) is provided, an electrically insulating body (4) in which the valve body (10) is retained, said insulating body being confined in a holder body (1) comprising electrically conductive material, further wherein the holder body of the fuel injection valve can be connected to an internal combustion engine and the end of the valve body (10) which protrudes from the insulating body, has at least one wire-like electrode (46) which is in electrically conductive contact with the valve body (10) and which forms together with a second wire-like electrode (48) affixed to the holder body (1) a spark gap (49) of a spark ignition device, wherein the electrical voltage is delivered via the holder body (1) on the one hand and the valve body (10) on the other, both wire-like electrodes are space wire-like electrode (48) of the holder body (1) is located in a circumferential direction of a circle about the axis of the valve body (10), beside the wire-like electrode (46, 47) of the valve body (10) and thereby forms said spark gap (49), in the injection region of the fuel which emerges transversely to the longitudinal axis of the valve body injection opening (12).
