Do Fuel Injectors Need Cleaning?
1 Answers
Fuel injectors need cleaning. If the fuel injectors become clogged, the vehicle's power will be significantly affected, and in severe cases, it may fail to ignite. The recommended cleaning interval for fuel injectors is every 2 years or 50,000 kilometers. Function of Fuel Injectors: They coordinate with the valve train ignition timing to inject gasoline into the cylinder in a timed and measured manner. After the spark plug ignites, the vehicle generates power. In vehicles without direct injection technology, the fuel injectors are installed in the intake manifold, while in direct injection engines, the injectors are mounted directly outside the cylinder. The quality of the fuel injectors affects the atomization of the fuel; the better the atomization, the higher the combustion efficiency of the vehicle. Methods for Cleaning Fuel Injectors: "Drip Bottle" Cleaning: Insert the appropriate cleaning agent into a specialized device, connect the tubes to the intake and fuel lines as specified, and then run the engine for 20 minutes. No-Disassembly Cleaning: Utilize the engine's own system pressure and circulation network to replace fuel with a cleaning agent, which burns to clean carbon deposits inside the cylinder, and then expel them through the exhaust system. Ultrasonic Cleaning: This is currently the most common method and offers excellent cleaning results. It requires removing the fuel injectors for cleaning.
