Fuel Injector Cleaning

We are able to offer in-house fuel injector cleaning. We are seeing more and more K20C1 injectors needing attention. Clogged fuel injectors can cause a plethora of different hard to diagnose issues including misfires and poor throttle response.

If your suspecting your car is running poorly or has reduced performance this is a good place to start.

Benefits of Injector Cleaning

Improved Engine Performance: Restores a balanced fuel flow, providing consistent power delivery, sharper throttle response, and a smoother engine operation.

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Ensures the correct amount of fuel is delivered, preventing over-fuelling and reducing unnecessary fuel consumption.

Reduced Emissions: By preventing incomplete combustion, the cleaning process lowers levels of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.

Increased Reliability & Longevity: A clean, efficient fuel system reduces strain on the engine, extending the life of the injectors and other engine components.

Prevention of Costly Repairs: Addressing injector issues early can prevent damage to other parts of the fuel system, such as spark plugs, lambda sensors, and catalytic converters, saving money on major repairs, notes Ecotune.

The Process

Let us guide you through

Inspection

All fuel injectors are inspected before testing.

Leak Test

Leak testing is a vital diagnostic step that verifies whether an injector's internal seal is holding pressure when it is supposed to be closed. A leaking injector allows fuel to drip into the engine cylinder even when the engine control unit (ECU) is not commanding it to open.

Spray Pattern Test

A fuel injector spray pattern test is a critical diagnostic procedure used to assess the health and function of a fuel injector. The spray pattern is the specific shape and quality of the fuel mist as it exits the injector nozzle.

Flow Test

Each injector flow rate is measured over a set period of time and analysed against the other injectors.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Injectors are cleaned using an Ultrasonic bath

Retest

After the injectors are clean we perform the same set of test to compare the before and after. Once this stage is complete we put new seals on the injectors ready to be installed onto the customers car.

Results

Once the injector cleaning process is completed you will received a detailed analysis of your injectors performance before and after cleaning.
