Auto 22
It is only natural for customers to show an interest in whats under their bonnet, and at Auto 22 were more than happy to settle those curiosities. Here we have an answer for one of those questions that continually pops up.What is a Fuel Injector?
A Fuel Injector concerns the system which mixes air and fuel in a combustion engine. Through filtering fuel through a small nozzle usually located near the manifold, gasoline and diesel is forced through a pressurized system to deliver sufficient fuel to the engine.
So How Does it Work?
Through precisely calculating a sufficient air/fuel ration depending on car performance, the fuel injectors performance correlates with amount of pressure you apply to the accelerator.
When you rev your engine, your foot pedal is signaling to the throttle valve to increase its air intake in order to supply the cylinders with more fuel.
At this point the Fuel Injector atomizes the petrol/gasoline in order to transform it into a fine mist making it more suitable for the cylinders and for burning.
Common Problems
At Auto 22 we have encountered many problems concerning Fuel Injectors. Primarily we encounter issues when they become blocked and clogged. This can adhere acceleration and effect speed maintenance, decreasing your cars performance as the fuel may not be able to reach the valves as effectively as possible. Luckily Fuel Injectors are relatively cheap, and can be easily replaced and installed by a trained mechanic.
If you are finding difficulty in starting your car, this may also be attributed to a poor electrical connection in your engine and Fuel Injector. Mainly because the Injector may not be able to provide an ample ratio between air and fuel to the valves.
Fuel Injectors are an integral part of every engine. They require little maintenance can often be found as a key attribute to car trouble.
