Getting To Understand Your Vehicle's Fuel Injection System Through An Auto Repair Shop Chicago

By Carmella Isenhour


If you drive an non-electric vehicle, it likely utilizes what is known as a fuel injection system. This is designed to ensure the right amount of fuel is delivered to the engine, which in turn converts it into energy. The method of a fuel injection system has changed over the years.

Whereas originally the amount of fuel would be managed by the carburetor, it is now managed via computer. Problems with the fuel injection system can be detected through various symptoms, such as if the vehicle moves sluggishly in response to hitting the accelerator. This is when it is necessary to visit an auto repair shop.

Not As Simple As You Thought

The fuel injection that works by computer is not at all simple. It is not only responsible for delivering fuel to the engine; it does calculations to determine the proper amounts of fuel. Determining the levels of oxygen as well as the temperature of the coolant, it then determines the base pulse. Then it uses this pulse and the RPM to calculate how much fuel is needed. This is the reason that a sensor not working properly in your vehicle can lead to greater problems with your fuel injection system.

Getting the Fuel to the Engine

When you hit the accelerator in your vehicle the internal computer makes the calculation and instructs the vehicle as to how much fuel needs to be delivered to the engine. At this time, the spark plug fires, causing the injected fuel to burn. Naturally, the more fuel injected into the system the bigger the burst. It is important for the spark plug to not only be clean, but installed at the correct degree measurement to provide optimal burst. If not, this can affect the quality of the burst and your fuel efficiency. There are all sorts of variables at play when it comes to your vehicle's fuel injection system.

Whether you are in need of fuel injection repair or there is another issue all together with your vehicle, seeking out the services an auto repair professional will keep your vehicle in good working order for years to come.
