Induction Cleaning Service For Direct-Injection Vehicles
You may have seen it before: misfire codes, stumbling and suspicious fuel trim numbers. On a scan tool, the engine may show a loss in volumetric efficiency. The driver may complain about a loss of power, poor fuel economy, hard starts and a rough idle. But this is not a 12-year-old engine; it is only
Directions: 20 Years: The Past, Present and Future of Underhood Service
Automotive historians will look back on 1995 as a watershed year for the automotive industry. By September, all 1996 models had to have the same OBDII diagnostic connector under the dash, speaking the same emissions language. Around the same time in Akron, OH, Babcox Media saw the times were changing for vehicle repairs and diagnostics.
Royal Purple’s Max-Atomizer: Spring Cleaning For Fuel Injectors And Fuel System Components
Inside and out, even cars can need a little spring cleaning from time to time. As miles build up, today’s direct injected engines are especially susceptible to suffer from clogged and otherwise fouled injectors, robbing engines of power, decreasing fuel economy and negatively affecting emissions and engine responsiveness. To address all of these issues and
Driveability Diagnostics and Direct Injection
Direct injection is becoming standard on more and more late-model vehicles. These systems can be a diagnostic challenge, but with the right foundation, problems can be solved profitably. Years ago, all a low-level technician needed to diagnose a fuel problem was a set of “noid lights,” a fuel pressure gauge and maybe a meter. These
The Best Tests For Fuel Delivery Systems
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that there is nothing permanent except change. Greek history aside, it’s easy to spot change in our current market because vehicle fuel delivery technology has evolved to include conventional, pulse-modulated and direct fuel injection fuel delivery systems, with each having a specific set of components and testing issues. In
Hyundai Fuel System, Emissions Diagnostics
Hyundai has done a good job of improving its offerings over the years from both an aesthetic and mechanical viewpoint. Complemented by a strong warranty and good value, the carmaker has been able to increase its market share year over year. If you aren’t seeing these cars in your bay, it’s only a matter of
10 Signs A Fuel Injector Needs To Be Replaced
In the past 30 years, the fuel injector has moved from the intake manifold to the combustion chamber. During this evolution, injectors have become more precise in dispensing fuel. If this precision is thrown off by restrictions, electrical problems or fuel problems, it can cause driveability issues. These are the top 10 signs fuel injectors need service or replacement.
BMW Fuel System Repair Essentials
The BMW N54 fuel pump recall a few years ago brought to light the importance of the integrity of the fuel system and how it can contribute to the overall reliability of a vehicle. These fuel quality issues apply to all BMW vehicles with either port or direct injection. The underlying message here is that if the cleanliness and overall integrity of the fuel tank is ignored, it will damage any fuel pump. This is why addressing the fuel tank is essential during any pump replacement to prevent costly comebacks that can also hurt your reputation.
