Do you have fuel injectors and do they need servicing?
Carburetors have been eliminated because of their limited ability in precise fuel metering and lack of speed to make on demand changes. Fuel injectors spray fuel in a particular pattern that is specific to the engine it was engineered for. This is done for optimum fuel efficiency, emissions and performance. Electronic fuel injectors and computer controls have allowed the vehicles of today to obtain the incredible power, emission and efficiency that could not be attained without fuel injection and the advanced computer controls.
Now we have taken our fuel injectors and placed them into the combustion chamber. This now allows fuel delivery in the exact area of combustion with the capability of precise timing of fuel delivery and multiple timed injector activations. With this capability it allows much leaner fuel mixtures and increase compression ratios and control over pre-ignition (when fuel ignites before ignition is supposed to ignite). This in turn increases fuel economy, power and reduces emissions, a win, win.
Fuel injectors are a very precise piece of the fuel system so it makes sense that they need servicing. Injectors get exposed to oil vapors, fuel vapors, varnish, carbon deposits and sometimes dirt. This causes the spray pattern of an injector to be disrupted and altered. To help alleviate this problem they need cleaning. Autobahn Car Repair use some of the best chemicals and equipment for the cleaning, which we first evaluated on our own vehicles before we would offer them to our customers. There have been many products through the years we have tried, many of which were a waste of time and money. We need results and want the best for our clients. So give us a call and set up your appointment for fuel related issues.
