The fuel injector is responsible for delivering the correct amount of fuel to the engine's cylinders, which is crucial for maintaining efficient combustion and minimising emissions. A malfunctioning fuel injector can cause the engine to run rich or lean, leading to increased emissions of pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere.
The emissions system consists of several components, including the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, and the fuel injector. These components work together to reduce and control harmful emissions released by the vehicle's engine to comply with emissions regulations. The fuel injector plays a vital role in this process by regulating the fuel supply and supporting the overall effectiveness of the emissions system.
