These factors are critical for the proper operation of the fuel-injection system. However, an insurance policy can be applied to ensure proper functioning of the fuel-injection system. A health check will validate that appropriate power levels are present and that the microcontroller’s calculated values and directives are accurate. A voltage supervisor/WDT combination acts as that insurance policy by monitoring and verifying power and microcontroller computations over the vehicle’s life.

Lucas Oil is a household name among American car drivers, and the Lucas 10013 Fuel Treatment is proof of its reliability. The product can be used as either a lubricant or a cleaner for your fuel system. Additionally, the formula contains no solvent, and it can treat both diesel and gasoline engines.

Down-gauged Heavy Duty Shipping Sack Now 110 microns thick - a reduction of more than 10 percent - the new down-gauged Heavy Duty Shipping Sack, enabled by INNATE™ Precision Packaging Resins, allows for the use of less materials in production without compromising performance.

The use of stoichiometry quantifies the ratio of fuel-to-oxygen in the combustion chamber. Stoichiometry is the study of ratios or quantitative relationships between two or more substances undergoing a physical change or chemical reaction. For automobiles, a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio (AFR) or target range (blue line in Fig. 2) has the correct amount of fuel and air that’s as close as possible to a chemically complete combustion event (0% fuel, 0% oxygen, and minimal pollutants).

Audi recently announced a recall of about 75,000 cars and SUVs in the U.S. The recall covers certain A6, A7, and Q7 SUVs from the 2016 through 2018 model years, and A8 sedans from 2015 through 2018 model years.

I’m apparently hopeless. But valve coking and expensive injector fouling at least aren’t on my list of concerns, so there’s some consolation.

The Men’s Wearhouse retail chain has continued to struggle to find its footing after the ouster of its long time leader. The company’s stock has been plunging. Its shares have dropped more than 60 percent over the last three months. Men’s Wearhouse has also lowered earnings forecasts for the fiscal […]

Yeah, that’s the exact problem I had. Wanted the car back on the road ASAP and for cheap. Found the right parts quickly enough but they wanted $40+ for them after shipping!

My assessment from 12 000 miles away? I’d like to have back all the time I’ve wasted because I just knew there had to be a better solution. The fact that gas mileage immediately went into the tank–pun intended–as soon as you seriously compressed the tank by letting it down on the support is extremely suspicious. Seems to me as if you might have damaged the fuel-return line/mechanism from the injector system to the tank which, of course, would live out of sight, unable to be inspected except by dropping the tank. The simple system which returns unused fuel from the injectors to the tank is an extremely important factor in the good-gas-mileage equation.

The fuel-injection system—including the fuel injector, PCM, sparkplug, two oxygen sensors, and the catalytic converter—monitors and controls the fuel-oxygen mixture throughout the combustion process.

Fuel injectors are a more precise means of performing mixing, atomization, and injection of fuel in the cylinder. The need of varying air-fuel mixture requirements, according to the situation of loading and speed, is fulfilled by the injectors, while the carburetors are unable to perform the same. The injectors supply a precise amount of fuel as per the requirement, which increases efficiency of the engine. This is a key driver of the automotive fuel injector market.
