Comprehensive Fuel Injection System Cleaning and Repair at Fifth Gear Automotive
Comprehensive Fuel Injection System Cleaning and Repair at Fifth Gear AutomotiveOver the years your fuel injectors can become clogged, and begin to malfunction. Fuel varnish, and sometimes dirt can build up to the point that the fuel injector can no long inject enough fuel into the combustion chamber. This may cause the engine to run lean, hesitate, misfire, or in some cases stall completely.
Differing Fuel Injectors in European, Domestic, and Import Vehicles
Fuel injectors come in many different styles, in both mechanical and electronic form. However all types of fuel injectors are vulnerable to clogging and can require service or cleaning. None are immune, and it does not take much to effect fuel flow. The injector opening is very small, and even tiny amounts of buildup can affect its function.
Servicing Fuel Injectors
The cure for a clogged and dirty injector is cleaning. There are a multitude of fuel additives that claim to clean fuel injectors, but most of the time, their results are minimal. Injectors can be cleaned with pressurized solvents or can be removed from the car for ultrasonic cleaning. If the fuel injector is too clogged to respond to cleaning it will need to be replaced, but only as a last resort.
A clean injector will spray a fine, cone-shaped mist that will combust fully and quickly. This translates into better fuel economy, increased throttle response, and reduced risk of engine damage.

Fuel Injector Maintenance & Service Needed by European, Domestic, or Import Vehicle
- Fuel Injector Cleaning: The fuel injectors are responsible for delivering pressurized fuel to the engine of your car. Over the years, the fuel injectors might accumulate a lot of dirt & debris, affecting the combustion process in your vehicle and can lead to a drop in the miles per gallon, engine misfires or hesitation, and rough idling or hard starts. If you are encountering any of these problems then get in touch with us at any of our garages located in Lewisville or Argyle to get your injectors cleaned.
- Injector Seal Replacement: The fuel injector seal is responsible for sealing the space between the injector and the engine so that your car doesn’t encounter fuel or air leaks. Whenever the injector seal gets compromised, it leads to fuel odor around the engine, visible fuel leaks near the injectors, and a decrease in engine performance or vacuum leaks. This is when you must contact us at any of our repair facilities located in McKinney or Cross Roads to get your faulty injector seal replaced.
- Injector Testing & Calibration: It is pertinent for you to get your fuel injectors tested periodically as it helps in detecting any issues & ensures each injector delivers fuel consistently while maintaining the required pressure. The testing and calibration of the injectors are carried out by certified mechanics to match engine specifications. If you come across uneven cylinder performance, engine knocking or pinging, & problems in passing the emissions test, then you must get your injectors tested & calibrated by professional mechanics at the earliest.
- Fuel Injector Replacement: The necessity of replacing the fuel injectors arises whenever the injectors are damaged & clogged beyond cleaning and repairs. Driving with a damaged fuel injector under the hood of your car can take a toll on the functioning of the engine. If you are encountering continuous failure of the fuel injectors, then it is time to replace the failing injectors, and you must visit a certified repair shop for the replacement service.
