Can a camshaft be installed in a fuel injected engine?

Can a camshaft be installed in a fuel injected engine?

A) Short duration, 220-222 degrees @ .050? maximum. B) Wide lobe separation/centers, 112 to 114 degrees minimum. Do not attempt to install a camshaft with a 108 lobe separation in a fuel injected engine, unless you are planning to re-program the ECM computer.

How much does a bad camshaft sensor cost?

In this case, because of an inaccurate reading from a bad camshaft position sensor, more fuel than necessary is injected into the engine which causes your fuel economy to drop. To replace a camshaft position sensor, you can expect to pay anywhere from $120 to $300. Parts alone will run about $50 to $200.

How does electronic fuel injection ( EFI ) affect cams?

This is also used on the new EZ-EFI 2.0 throttle body fuel injection when you enable ignition control. The system looks at how much the idle speed moves around and then you can tell it how much timing authority you want to have over this rolling idle speed.

What causes the camshaft position sensor to be incorrect?

These are both a result of an improper amount of fuel being injected into the cylinders since the PCM is getting incorrect information from the camshaft position sensor.

What causes wear and tear on fuel injectors?

Driving a car hard, combined with short start stop journeys, will increase the wear and tear on injectors. Letting the engine cool down, before shutting it off, will increase the lifespan of the injectors. This will also, benefit the rest of the engine too.

Can a fuel injected engine run at 500 rpm?

It may run but without tuning/jetting the carburetor to the engine, but it will not work to its full potential. While we are on this subject, there are some engines that you need to be wary of: • Late ’80s-Early ‘90s 350 Chevrolets with a K engine code and an idle speed of 500 rpm (TBI)
