Faulty fuel injectors can cause a range of engine issues - and unfortunately, they’re not always obvious right away.
The initial signs that there is something wrong with the fuel injector could be something innocuous, like the car running slightly rougher than usual. Or perhaps - it’s taking longer to start, even on warmer days.
Black smoke from the exhaust is another red flag, as is the smell of unburnt fuel. If left unresolved, these symptoms tend to get worse over time, not better.
What Is A Fuel Injector?
A fuel injector is an important part of your car’s engine.
Its works to deliver an optimal amount of fuel into the vehicle’s combustion chamber – at the right time, in the form of a fine mist.
That mist allows for efficient combustion, which is what powers your engine.
Modern fuel injectors operate electronically and are controlled by the engine’s computer.
