Where is the Fuel Injector Located?

[AndresRose]

The fuel injector is generally installed on the intake manifold, while direct injection models have it mounted on the cylinder block. The gasoline engine injector is part of the electronic control system of the gasoline engine, replacing the carburetor in carbureted gasoline engines. It is one of the key components of an electronically fuel-injected engine, and its performance significantly impacts the engine's overall operation. The main causes of fuel injector clogging typically include the following: 1. Gasoline itself contains gums and impurities, or dust and particles introduced during storage and transportation, which accumulate over time in the fuel tank and fuel lines, forming sludge-like deposits that clog the injector. 2. Unstable components in gasoline react at certain temperatures to form sticky substances resembling gums and resins. These sticky substances accumulate in the injector, intake valves, and other areas, and when burned, the deposits turn into hard carbon buildup.
