Electronic Diesel Injection
These units are used for measuring diesel fuel injection rate in Electronic Diesel Injection systems. The following units are also used in other sections of this course:
mm3/injection
mm3/injection stroke
But in several sections the unit cited is mm3/cp, what does "cp" stand for in this case?
Thanks.

English term (edited):
mm³/cp
Selected
mm³/stroke
Was the original text by any chance French (Peugeot, etc.)? If so, I would expect 'cp' to stand for 'coup', i.e. the FR for 'stroke'

Yes, 'course de piston' refers to the length of the stroke: you would say it has a "course de piston de X mm", for example.
Whereas 'coup' just means 'stroke' or 'action' or any one of a number of other words to describe a 'go'; it might well be referring to the 'coups' of the injector itself, not of the actual piston.
However, you are lucky inasmuch as this ambiguity can be kept in EN as in FR!
Personally, I firmly believe that 'cp' is the abbreviation for 'coup' — I have come across it used as such in all sorts of other fields, where 'course de piston' would never fit!

mm³ / injection stroke
Fuel qu'ty per piston stroke of the injection pump.
It seems as if the author is making an excursion into French, where they say course de piston (cp) for piston stroke.
