What Causes Fuel Injector Leakage?
1 Answers
The causes of fuel injector leakage include dirty engine oil, poor cooling of the injector due to high engine temperature, wear of the fuel outlet valve, missing or damaged gaskets during injector installation, and excessively low injection pressure. Symptoms of fuel injector leakage: Engine idle shaking, excessive fuel dripping into the cylinder causing rich air-fuel mixture, difficulty in engine starting, increased engine noise, unresponsive throttle, uneven acceleration, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and accelerated wear of piston rings. Solutions for fuel injector leakage: Check all components of the engine lubrication system for external leaks. Replace oil seals immediately if they are aged, cracked, or leaking.
