Electronic fuel injection. These three words can strike fear in even the most seasoned automotive technician. The reality, however, is that no carbureted induction system can match the fuel-metering ...
Anyone who has gone to school to learn how to repair engines of all types, such as myself, will have learned the fundamentals of how they work. It's crucial for troubleshooting and diagnosing engine ...
We often talk about the benefits of fuel injection on off-road vehicles. Generally, these systems run more reliably than carbureted systems, but they are, at the end of the day, a bit more complex ...
Most new petrol cars you see today are equipped with fuel injection systems or injector motors. These have almost wholly supplanted older carburetor motors. They are more reliable, effective, and ...
Electronic fuel injection is older than you think, the earliest example being the failed Bendix Electrojector system from 1957. Bosch bought the rights to the Eletrojector system and developed it into ...
In the past, race-type constant flow fuel injection (Fl) systems have met with little success on the street. Usually designed only for high-speed idle and wide-open throttle (WOT) operation, such ...
Port fuel injection (PFI) was a major milestone in the early '80s. The integration of PFI rapidly changed the way fuel was delivered by increasing fuel economy and improving engine performance. Even ...

Why mechanics keep seeing early failures in direct-injection engines
Direct-injection engines were introduced with a promise that sounded ideal: more power, better fuel efficiency, and cleaner ...
The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...
Automobile engines have undergone tons of changes over the years, primarily to make them more efficient. For the most part though, engine changes result from a string of iterative improvements on ...
