* Inspection: A thorough visual inspection of all components, including fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, and fuel lines, looking for leaks, damage, or corrosion.
* Cleaning: This might involve cleaning the fuel injectors (often using specialized equipment to flush and clean the internal components), cleaning the throttle body, and replacing the fuel filter. Dirty injectors can lead to poor fuel atomization, affecting performance and emissions.
* Testing: Various tests are performed to assess the system's functionality. This can involve checking fuel pressure, injector flow rates, and other parameters to identify malfunctioning components. Diagnostic tools are often used to read fault codes from the engine's computer.
* Repair or Replacement: If problems are identified, faulty components like fuel injectors, fuel pumps, or sensors may need to be repaired or replaced.
* Software Updates (if applicable): In some cases, the engine control unit (ECU) might require software updates to optimize fuel delivery and address known issues.
The extent of a fuel injection service can vary depending on the vehicle's age, mileage, and any existing problems. A simple service might just involve a cleaning and filter replacement, while a more comprehensive service might involve extensive testing and component replacement. Regular fuel injection service can help prevent major repairs and ensure the long-term health of your vehicle's engine.
