Use current location
Fuel injectors are critical components in your car’s engine. They are responsible for supplying the fuel and delivering it at the correct time to guarantee proper combustion. Over time, the fuel injectors can get clogged leading to a lean air to fuel ratio. Keeping current on your regular maintenance will help to prevent fuel injector issues.
Fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine at a precise angle. This fuel mixes with air, so your car produces the best possible combustion. If the angle, pressure, or spray pattern isn’t correct there will be an issue with how well your engine runs.
The fuel injector regulates the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber. Fuel is pumped to the injector by the fuel pump. This fuel is then injected into the intake manifold, where fuel and air are mixed. This mixture is then compressed in the combustion chamber where it is ignited to provide you with the horsepower you demand.
Over time, fuel injectors need to be replaced, as they will become clogged. When they clog, there will be noticeable symptoms that you will experience. Some symptoms include:
The fuel system needs to be maintained just like every other part of your car. To maintain your fuel system and extend its life, follow these tips.
Do not let your gas tank run empty. It should never get under a quarter of a tank. Also, the general rule is to have the fuel filter replaced every 2 years or every 24,000 miles. However, all vehicles are different. Check your owner’s manual to see when you should replace your fuel filter. Last, have your fuel injection system cleaned every 30,000 miles.
