| Testing injectors
is not enough... We not only
find the problem... We remove
the cause
We can’t fix what we can’t see
Minimum pollution is about correct combustion. Combustion is reliant
on correct fuel atomisation. For minimum pollution, good performance,
good fuel economy and engine driveability, correct atomisation is no
longer an option. It’s a requirement. Poor atomisation will also
cause problems for the Lambda Sensor and clogging or damaging of the
expensive to replace Catalyst Exhaust.
Could these be your injectors
Which of these injectors are delivering the correct amount? Too much
fuel and you have poor fuel economy as the fuel is not burnt and wasted.
Too little fuel and the engine’s performance will suffer with
lack of power and poor performances. In the long term, servicing your
injectors could save you hundreds of pounds in petrol and repair bills.
As your car gets older and the pollution controls get tighter, you will
still be required to maintain correct pollution levels on your car.
Failure to meet these pollution requirements could result in fines or
costly repair bills.
If you are thinking “I will sell the car before I have to fix
it” well, that could just be what the owner of the next car you
are about to purchase is thinking!
What are your injectors like?
What does the fuel injecting?
The petrol injector valve is the only component on the whole fuel injection
system that actually does the fuel injecting.
The injector has the finest tolerance of any mechanical part on the
engine. Regular servicing of injectors (approx. 24,000 mls) will not
only maintain Performance, Fuel Economy and minimum Exhaust Pollution.
It will also prolong the life of very important pollution components
like the Lambda Sensor and the Catalytic Exhaust.
Both of these items are very costly to replace when they have failed,
protect them now and save money. At what mileage did you/ do have your
injectors serviced?
Recognise these symptoms
• Starting- will not start properly or starts badly.
• Idling- lumpy tickover, uneven idling.
• Performance- lacking/ loss of power, flat spots.
• Economy- poor fuel consumption, expensive to run.
• Driveability- drives poorly, hesitates, engine ‘pinks’.
• Emissions- fails emission test of ‘tweaked’ to pass
the MOT
• Lambda failure- lacquering up, slow in response.
• Catalyst failure- failing or breaking up but no cause found
• Malfunction Indicator Light- Air Fuel Ration on EOBD
The injectors performance is critical to the correct
running of the computerised fuel injection engine. If the Air/Fuel ratio
should deviate by only 1% from its pre-set limits, it could have an
adverse effect upon the systems ability to control and eliminate excess
pollution. This would also affect the long-term performance of emission
control components like the Lambda Sensor and Catalyst Exhaust, not
to mention the money lost on wasted fuel.
Prevention is better than cure.
Correct diagnosis and repair
As the world wide demand for lower exhaust pollution increases, so the
requirement for ways to control this pollution increases. To meet these
demands all petrol engine vehicles currently being produced are now
fitted with…computerised fuel injection.
Since un-burnt fuel is the cause of all exhaust pollution,
the Fuel Injector Valve is now the major component in the creation and
the physical reduction of all exhaust pollution. Correct Injector performance
is no longer an option, it is a requirement, especially if we wish to
maintain minimum exhaust pollution.
Now and every year since the introduction of computerised
systems on cars, we and garages like us must spend thousands of pounds
on new diagnostic equipment. This equipment will allow us to diagnosis
and correct the faults on the computerised Fuel Injected vehicles you
now drive.
Using this technical equipment, the equipment is only
as good as the operator. Our staff now have to be trained to a very
high standard on both the engine systems and the diagnostic equipment.
We are also Webcon Engine Management Specialists, ICC Fuel injection
correction specialists, and are an ASNU Injection Diagnostic Centre.
We do hope this brochure will go some way to explaining
why we need this equipment and why the cost of this equipment is reflected
in our charges and evident in the quality of our workmanship.
Saves time and money!
