Fuel Injector Testing Cleaning
To get the best performance from a vehicles engine, its a must for fuel injectors to be clean. Dirty injectors can not effectively provide an engine with fuel the way clean injectors can. Because of this, information on testing and cleaning fuel injectors can be valuable to vehicle owners.
Clogging
A restriction of as little as 9 percent in one fuel injector is enough to cause an engine to misfire. However, the fuel deposits that clog injectors tend to happen more in older vehicles that have pintle-style injectors. Many newer model vehicles have fuel injectors that are designed to prevent such easy clogging.
Testing
Fuel injectors can be checked through a process called flow-testing. The flow rate of an injector is tested, and reveals if the injector fails to meet factory standards. Injectors are removed from the vehicle when performing a flow test.
Cleaning
Fuel injector cleaning can be accomplished by adding injector cleaner into the gas tank of your vehicle. You may also have a professional shop remove your injectors for cleaning. Either way, it is recommended to have fuel injectors cleaned about every 27,000 miles.
