What happens when the fuel injector is restricted?
What happens when the fuel injector is restricted?
When the fuel injector flow becomes flow restricted, the computer will attempt to adjust the fuel flow by opening the fuel injector longer through the use of its long-term fuel trim function.
Is the fuel injector in a fuel injected engine maintenance free?
The fuel system of a modern computer-controlled fuel injected engine is so reliable that it seems to be almost maintenance free, but these modern fuel injected engines have fuel injectors that become flow restricted or “dirty” with use.
What should I do if my fuel injector is clogged?
The only guaranteed method that addresses these problems and can clean a clogged injector properly is by removing the injectors from the engine. Once removed, the injectors can be dropped off or mailed to a professional injector cleaning service such as Injector RX.
How are fuel injectors tested for fuel flow?
Once cleaned the fuel injectors are flow tested to confirm that they spray correctly and deliver the right amount of fuel. The advantages of this method allows Injector RX to fully clean each injector, replace worn parts with new ones and test each injector for fuel flow comparison.

Which is better Lycoming fuel injection or direct injection?
Direct injection of fuel into cylinders offers better fuel distribution and easy cold starting, without the threat of carburetor icing. This article will show you the parts of a typical Lycoming fuel injection system and the most common trouble spots to check if your engine starts running rough.
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?”
