At Frank Donnini Mechanical Repairs we offers ON CAR FUEL INJECTOR CLEANNING.
Instead of a carburetor, most modern cars use computerized fuel injection. This system supplies the proper fuel/air mixture for your engine.
A computer measures engine conditions and precisely sprays an exact amount of fuel into the intake manifold through fuel injectors.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS: WHAT GOES WRONG
The FUEL INJECTION PUMP, FUEL FILTER,COMPUTER,AND ALL ITS SENSORS AND WIRING can make the fuel injection system fail. Individual injectors can become clogged with rust, varnish, etc. All systems have a pressure regulator, since fuel injection systems rely on very constant and accurate fuel pressure to operate properly. If the pressure is too high, the car will RUN RICH. (Black smoke!) If pressure is too low, the engine will run lean or will not run at all! (Maybe the most common gasoline fuel injection problem is a bad fuel injeciton pump!)
ELECTRONIC COMPUTER CONTROLLED FUEL INJECTION
An electric solenoid is opened by the computer. The amount of fuel is controlled by how long the solenoid is kept open.
TYPES OF COMPUTERIZED FUEL INJECTION
THROTTLE BODY FUEL INJECTION
It's the simplest way to do fuel injection. A fuel injector sits on top of a throttle plate. Looks like a shower head. It opens 10 times per second regardless of engine conditions or rpm. The computer keeps it open longer or shorter times to vary the fuelto air mixture.
MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION
Here you have an injector for each cylinder. Often these injectors are also pulsed 10 times per second and kept open longer or shorter times to vary the fuel to air mixture .
SEQUENTIAL FUEL INJECTION
Sequential injection doesn't fire all the injectors at once, although often they will only fire in a set of two (half the cylinders get a squirt of gas, then the other half, etc.) Even the most advanced sequential injection systems operate each cylinder's injector twice for each combustion cycle. (once on the intake stroke, once on the power stroke). The fuel sprayed each time is equal. The fuel sprayed during the power stroke is "stored". It cools the valves off, vaporizes, and gets sucked in along with the next injector spray, when the intake stroke comes around again.
CONSTANT FLOW FUEL INJECTION
The earliest gasoline fuel injection was constant flow. A mechanical linkage moved a calibrated rod in an orifice. This metered fuel to injectors at each cylinder. A throttle plate metered the air.
BOSCH cis
A neat fuel injection system, Bosch CIS is found on all the Rabbits, some Volvo s, and a bunch of other European rides. A hose connects the intake to the CIS fuel control assembly: often holding the air filter. A round plate blocks the airflow. As the engine sucks in air, this plate lifts up. It opens a valve, which sprays more and more fuel to the injectors at each cylinder as the plate lifts up. These injectors spray all the time the engine is running.
BOSCH AFC
Bosch AFC and licensed "copies" were very popular on Japanese, Swedish, and European vehicles in the 80's and 90's. It is an electronic fuel injection system which uses a vane airflow meter to measure the air taken in by the motor. The Vane Airflow Meter is just a flap on a pivot which is swung open as the engine sucks in air. The more air sucked in, the more the flap opens. The flap is connected to a variable resistor, which provides the computer input. The computer uses this as one of its primary inputs, then "tweaks" the mixture with the input of other sensors.
A NOTE ON ALL BOSCH FUEL INJECTION
The above Bosch fuel injection systems rely heavily on the coolant temperature sensor. A bad or disconnected coolant temperature sensor can really confuse the fuel injection control computer!!! It will run so rich that gas will practically drip out the exhaust pipe!
