Jason Stahl discusses gasoline direct injection systems, and ways to prevent leaks in the system after a fuel pump or injector have been replaced. Sponsored by Standard.
EGR And Secondary Air Injection And Emissions Management
The perfect internal combustion vehicle would be able to put the exact amount of fuel and air into the combustion chamber. If the perfect combustion event were to occur, you would get nothing more than water and carbon dioxide as byproduct. There would not be any unburned fuel or oxygen. Combustion would occur at the right temperature so oxides would not combine with nitrogen and carbon to form nitric oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). This perfect car would not need a catalytic converter or any other emission-control device.
Fuel Injector Diagnostics: Thinking Through The Problem
There is almost no way to inspect the spray pattern of the fuel injector while it is on the vehicle, and it is impossible to inspect on a vehicle with direct fuel injection. You can, however, witness the symptoms of a bad injector.
OTC Introduces 4 New Tools To The Fuel Injector And Pump Product Line
The new tools help technicians complete fuel system jobs faster and are compatible with a wide variety of vehicles, says the company.
Giving It The Gas: When The Fuel Pump Isn’t The Problem
The most famous last words in automotive diagnostics are, “We’ve always done it this way.” In many cases, “always done it this way” consists of diagnosing a fuel pump by squirting some type of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon into the air intake. Case in point, a 2011 Nissan Rogue had suddenly stalled on a busy summertime highway.
Rethinking Fuel Pump Diagnostics And Sensors
The technician diagnosed the 2011 Rogue as a bad fuel pump by squirting propane into the air intake. With propane, the engine runs, without propane, it stalls. But, after the fuel pump was replaced, the Rogue exhibited the same problem, which was a very slow, unsteady idle followed by an engine stall.

Curing Carbon Deposits On Direct Injection Engines
Direct injection improves fuel economy by injecting the correct amount of fuel for the conditions in the combustion chamber. But, it is not a perfect science: Carbon deposits can form on the intake valves, piston and other surfaces in the combustion chamber.
