Is Your EFI Slightly OFF?

You might have experienced problems with your car's performance at one time or another. This is understandable since a car has numerous mechanical parts that can fail over time. One of the key components that is crucial for a vehicle's performance is the electronic fuel injection (EFI) system.

The EFI system is designed to reliably deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner. It helps your vehicle run smoothly and at peak performance, while using the minimum amount of fuel possible. However, when this system malfunctions, your vehicle's performance can suffer greatly. It's, therefore, important to be able to identify symptoms of EFI problems, bring your vehicle in for inspection and to understand the benefits of regular EFI maintenance.

Symptoms of EFI problems

EFI problems are generally caused by the system being dirty, damaged or blocked. When this happens, you may start noticing one or more of the following symptoms:

  • A strong smell of fuel in the car: This is generally an indication that the fuel system is leaking, or there is a problem with the injectors, or a clogged fuel filter
  • Rough idling: If your car engine is idling roughly or fluctuating in RPMs, this could be due to a malfunctioning idle air control valve, dirty injectors or clogged filters
  • Problems starting the engine: Difficulty starting the engine could be a sign that the fuel pressure regulator is not working properly, the fuel injectors are dirty, or the fuel filter is clogged
  • Frequent stalling: When your vehicle keeps stalling, it could mean that there is a problem with the EFI system or with other car parts

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is essential that you take your car in for a no-obligation inspection as soon as possible.
