Symptoms of Failure of Fuel Injector

What is a fuel injector
Fuel injector is a devise used for supplying fuel into an engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in engines, having replaced carburetors. Fuel is supplied to the injectors through fuel pump. Each fuel injector is fitted on the cylinder head above each cylinder. The injectors are made of good quality material to with stand the high temperature and pressure during combustion process.

Where does fuel injector located
The fuel injector is located in the intake manifold because fuel is sprayed directly at the intake valves. A fuel supply rail connects all the fuel injectors to the fuel supply.

Symptoms of failure of fuel injector
  • Clogging of fuel in fuel injector
    • Clogging of the fuel injector is caused due to, deposits of fuel build-up inside the fuel injector.
    • These deposits block fuel flow to the fuel injector from the fuel pump.
  • Recurring problems of fuel injector
    • Bad condition of fuel injectors are appear to come and go as deposits are redistributed. Fuel injector cleaner are used in fuel tank.
    • These cleaner can remove minor deposits in the fuel injector.
  • Lower fuel mileage
    • Low fuel mileage is one of common symptoms of failure of a bad fuel injector.
    • This is due to improper functioning of fuel injector.
  • RPM seldom alternates
    • Another sign of bad fuel injector is seldom alternating RPM.
    • When the engine begins anyway oscillates between high and low revolutions per minute (RPM), this may be due to poor fuel injector.
    • Leaking of fuel from injector
    • Leaking fuel from the fuel injector is another sign of a faulty fuel injector.
    • Bad condition of the fuel injectors can weaken the fuel injector, which leads to cracks and leakage of fuel.
  • Engine idling problem
    • When you notice that your engine makes strange noises while idling, this is often an indication of a faulty fuel injector.
How to replace a fuel injector
  • First, switch off the engine of your car and locate the fuel injector
  • Then remove the air intake system and other hoses, wires or other parts that are near by the fuel injector.
  • Locate the bolts that hold the injector and remove them.
  • Remove the rail to access the fuel injectors.
  • Remove the fuel injector, the pressure in the system will make a small amount of fuel splash out.
  • Remove the old seal and make sure pieces of it are not stuck in the seat.
  • Use a pick or small screwdriver to remove any residues.
  • Take the new fuel injector and remove the caps and lubricate the seal with motor oil.
  • Install a new fuel injector and place it next to the fuel line.
  • Reconnect all the hoses, wires and other parts.
