What are the reasons for the fuel injector not spraying fuel?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a fuel injector may not spray fuel: 1. Insufficient fuel: Generally, when the fuel warning light comes on, a car can still travel about 40-50 kilometers. Therefore, many car owners may not refuel immediately when the warning light appears. However, if not handled properly, this can lead to a severe shortage of fuel in the tank, causing the fuel injector to stop spraying fuel. 2. Fuel pump damage: The fuel pump relies on fuel for cooling and lubrication. If the fuel level in the tank becomes critically low, the fuel pump is highly susceptible to damage. 3. High-pressure fuel pump failure: To increase the fuel injection pressure and improve fuel atomization, fuel is pressurized a second time by the high-pressure fuel pump before being sprayed by the injector. If the high-pressure fuel pump fails, causing a sudden drop in fuel supply pressure, the fuel injector's operation will be affected. 4. Fuel injector clogging: Unsaturated olefins and gums in fuel can form a coking-like substance under high temperatures, commonly known as carbon deposits. If carbon deposits accumulate severely on the fuel injector, it is highly likely to become clogged, thereby affecting its ability to spray fuel.
