Injector on the car is an important tool that serves to spraying fuel into the engine combustion chamber.
Problems may occur because the device is not able to send pulses to the sensor Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in accordance with proper dosing.
In fact, one of the functions of the ECU is to regulate the pressure and the frequency of bursts of fuel into the engine combustion chamber based on the received pulse sensor.
To obtain maximum results, bursts of fuel and air in the combustion chamber to be precise. If not exact, meaning injector having problems.
Below are tips on car injector cleaning as following:
1. Weak Bursts of Fuel:
Needle injector is clogged dirt will cause no strong bursts of fuel from the injector into the combustion chamber. Small particles that clog the needle can be derived from a less clean fuels. Dirt can also be derived from the fuel tank in a car that suffered corrosion.
The particle size was small, about 10-30 microns so that the fuel filter is sometimes not able to filter them.
Although its size is very small, but quite disturbing performance of the injector, especially if the dirt is growing from time to time.
2. Injector leakage:
Leakage occurs when the needle injector can not close tightly after spraying fuel.
As a result, still dripping fuel in the combustion chamber. So that the spark plug becomes wet and Lambda calculation is not accurate, which ultimately makes it difficult ignited engines.
One thing to note, spray fuel into the engine combustion chamber by the injector was tangible fog.
3. How to Mangatasi Problem:
There are two ways you can do to solve this problem, namely:
a. Fast Cycle Machine
You can do it yourself because it is very simple. The trick is as follows:
- Turn on the ignition. After that, stepped on the gas pedal to the point of maximum.
- Perform up to four to five times, and each time step on the gas pedal should be held approximately 1-2 minutes.
At high rpm (about 5,000 rpm), then the blast of gasoline is also strong. At that point, impurities in the combustion chamber and the valve will be pushed out.
But, if this does not work, you can try the following manner, namely by using a cleaning fluid.
b. Use Cleaning Fluid
There are two ways to perform injector cleaning. You can simply clean it in the car, or you remove the injector and using ultrasonic.
Method 1:
Fill the tank with a cleaner (injector cleaner) to remove water, sulfur, or fungi that may be in the injector. This cleaning fluid you can buy at auto parts stores.
Method 2:
Remove the injector, then tested with a special ultrasonic tool. The tool's function is to determine the fuel flow, fuel spray pattern, and presence or absence of leakage at the injector needle.
Once you know the test results, then do the cleaning process.
