What happens when a fuel injector is not working?
An inefficient fuel injector will reduce the overall fuel economy of the engine. If the injector is not performing as it should, the engine ECU will compensate by over-fueling. This causes the engine to run “rich”, leading to more fuel being used than necessary.
Can you run an EFI system without an O2 sensor?
A third option would be to run your EFI system without an O2 sensor at all. There are drawbacks to that (as your tuner can explain in more detail) but it is doable, provided the system is correctly tuned initially. Having selecting USCG-approved components, and sourced your O2 sensor adapter, there is but one more challenge–tuning.
Where does the fuel injector go in a four cylinder engine?
On four-cylinder engines, the No. 2 and No. 3 injectors are in the hottest location and tend to clog up faster than the end injectors on cylinders No. 1 and No. 4. The same applies to the injectors in the middle cylinders in six- and eight-cylinder engines.
What does full operation mean on the O2 sensor?
5) Full operation means the engine is fully warmed up, O2 sensor above the 600 deg. F. operating temperature, and no fuel or mechanical problems present. 6) The O2 sensor must cycle at least once per second, which would show 3 cross counts on the scan tool PID. 7) Silicone is the leading cause of O2 contamination.
What causes no power to fuel injector pulse?
Ans: The engine control unit is the electronic brain that used to control the fuel injector pulse by gathering data from various sensors along the fuel line Question: What causes no power to fuel injectors?
What are the signs of a failed fuel injector?
The reasons fuel injectors fail vary, but here are five of the most common problems with fuel injectors. An abrupt loss of engine power is a somewhat obvious sign of a fuel injector failure.
Is there no power to fuel injectors in audizine?

Is the fuel pump relay connected to the injectors?
You just tested ECU control of the fuel pump relay AND the injectors. You also tested that you have a good fuel pump relay, you have power to said relay, the relay is successfully delivering power to the pump and injectors, and that all your wiring is good.
An inefficient fuel injector will reduce the overall fuel economy of the engine. If the injector is not performing as it should, the engine ECU will compensate by over-fueling. This causes the engine to run “rich”, leading to more fuel being used than necessary.
Why does my Toyota Corolla have no fault codes?
When a 1zz inlet/throttle body is fitted the car can recieve more air naturally hense putting the air fuel ratio correct and voltages within tollerances – therefore throwing up no fault codes. Thats the only explination i can think of the injector issue.
What causes vibration when fuel injector is blocked?
Engine knocking and vibration – If an injector is partially blocked, then the right amount of fuel won’t be getting into the engine cylinder. This will cause knocking and excessive engine vibration. There are lots of other causes of car vibrations. Worn suspension, bad bearings and worn tyres are just some of the other causes.
What is the error code for a bad fuel injector?
For example, a fault with an injector in cylinder one would give a code of P0201. You may also see other error codes such as P0101, P0300, P0299. Visually inspect the engine bay – If you open up the hood and there is a strong smell of fuel then a leaky injector could be the culprit.
When do you assume there is enough pressure in the injectors?
If the engine runs, they assume the injectors are getting adequate fuel pressure. If the engine cranks but won’t start, and they depress the service valve on the fuel rail and some fuel squirts out, they assume the injectors have pressure. They do, but the question remains, “How much pressure?”
How can I find the correct resistance for my fuel injectors?
Tip: You can find the correct resistance for your injectors by searching online or in your vehicle’s repair guide. Step 1: Turn the car on. Turn the key to the second (ON) position for this test. You want battery power flowing, but don’t want the engine running. Step 2: Set up DVOM to measure DC voltage.
Why does gasoline stick to the injector tips?
These deposits tend to form after the engine is shut off. Heat from the engine causes residual fuel in the injector tips to evaporate. Gasoline is supposed to contain enough detergent to prevent these deposits from sticking and accumulating in the injectors.
