Fuel Injection
What is Fuel Injection, and Why Does it Require Maintenance?
Fuel injection is an efficient method of creating internal combustion. As the name suggests, the car’s fuel is directly or indirectly delivered to the combustion chamber, where it mixes with the air. Internal combustion engines ignite the fuel and air mixture to generate power for the vehicle to move. The addition of fuel injection technology has made for smoother and more consistent driving experiences. The throttle response is faster, performance in cold weather is better, and idling is more stable. Compared to previous engine designs, fuel injection also decreases the need for maintenance. However, it doesn’t eliminate it completely.
Fuel injectors need cleaning and maintenance if you want to enjoy the best performance from your vehicle. It’s important to remove the built-up deposits and clear the intake valves and cylinder heads. Think of maintenance as refreshing the fuel system in your car. This can extend the life of your car’s engine by removing potentially problematic contamination and decreasing wear. It also improves fuel economy and engine performance. The deposits can cause poor acceleration, lower power, and even severe engine problems.
