A fuel injector has the role of injecting fuel into your cars engine at the precise time to ensure your car performs at best possible efficiency. Fuel injectors have developed to be one of the most efficient systems in all modern cars and replaced the old carburetor system.

The reason fuel injectors were developed was because the old carburetor system was not only less fuel efficient and expensive but also unhealthy for the environment.

There are 4 types of fuel injectors used in modern cars:

·         Throttle body injection also known as single point injection – This is the system that replaced the carburettor initially and has one or two fuel injector nozzles in the throttle body.

·         Multi-port fuel injection – This type of system uses a separate injector nozzle for each cylinder.

·         Sequential fuel injection – This system uses a multi-port injection but has the sequential fuel injection ability. Basically, it activates each injector nozzle individually.

·         Direct injection – This system is commonly used for diesel engines and injects fuel directly into the combustion chambers and passing the valves.

If your engine develops a misfire issue or if there is a decrease in the power, acceleration, or fuel efficiency, then one of the most common indications is a possible fuel injector issue.
