I parked just along Lagos-Ibadan express road due to faulty fuel injector. Just upon the rectification of the fault, two cars collided right on the express road and swerved toward where I'm standing. Only God knows how I take run comot The car was badly ruined https://t.co/czlSpi4RvP
One of these is not like the others. A misfire fault isn't always a bad spark plug, ignition coil or a faulty fuel injector. #Ram #Hemi #problems #diagnostics #saves #money https://t.co/wWIXHUHHjv

Thanks to Richard from @BRILTD for getting the fuel injector fault fixed on S690 today. Ended up being some moisture in a connector on wiring harness going to ECU. Now hope the weather cooperates and we can get back to #harvest18
What happens when you buy a @BMW_UK 1 series that is made with a fuel injector fault and you tell customer services that you are sick of 1/2
@AdamReizner Idk. A fault code came up and said u got 1 hr and it's shutting down. Not really but thats what it means. The code is for a blocked fuel injector. The DEF system can't work properly w/o that injector burning at a high enough temp. Pulled into a truck stop and it goes off.

Hertfordshire Superbike Centre: Ducati Hypermotard Fuel Injector fault ? http://t.co/TMiCLzEcJW
I bought a lightly used Peugeot Partner van last Monday. It’s four years old and just nicely run in at 40,000 miles and cost £6000 + interest. I had only done about 40 miles with it when the “engine fault” warning light came on, and the electric windows stopped working. I called the dealership next morning and told them what had happened. Within an hour the mechanic was there. He hooked up a “Snap-on” diagnostic laptop, read the diagnosis and replaced a stop-light bulb. Miraculously, the engine fault warning light went off, and the electric windows started working again. Point being that when an engine fault comes up you think the worst scenario, timing belt, fuel pump disaster, engine failure and ,all it needs is a bulb,. Not mine just a pic borrowed from google images. UPDATE: The light came on again today so I took it to my local Peugeot dealer. He plugged in a very similar Snap-on laptop thingy and informed me that there’s a fault with the turbo and two fuel injectors. I’ll take it back to the seller tomorrow, and see what other bullshit he comes up with. Apparently the “bulb” thing is just a way to get you past the 14 day cooling off period. It’s also fortunate that I record all of my calls. Bastards!! UPDATE: It took a few weeks of badgering the dealer, but eventually the van was taken into the workshop and repaired. The turbo actuator had seized, so the mechanic stripped it, lube’d it and it runs fine now.
As the other answers note, misfires are the most common symptom of bad sparkplugs. Hooking up a decent scanner can usually pinpoint which cylinder (s) is misfiring. But be aware that misfires can be caused by other problems so don’t think that replacing the spark plugs will always cure misfires. Bad coils, bad plug wires and fuel injector faults can also cause misfires, for instance.
Assuming the engine runs but misfires. Lack of fuel, compression or crankshaft position sensor fault. Injector fault. Valve fault. Crankshaft position sensor failing.
Dead, probably meaning an open circuit, is constantly checked by the ECM and a fault code would be given. You can just unplug each injector and take notice of an engine miss or lack thereof. To clean injectors don't buy the canned stuff. Find E85 and pump 3 or 4 gallons for every 10 of gasoline. It won't hurt the engine if it's fuel injected and not carbureted. Fuel injectors are cheap and easy to replace. It'd be little trouble to replace them all.
Black smoke in the exhaust of petrol (gasoline) powered cars is caused by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuel resulting in black carbon particles. Incomplete combustion is mainly caused by too much fuel for the amount of air available, or by fouled fuel injectors that don’t properly atomize the fuel. Too much fuel is caused by faults in the fuel injection control system that includes fuel pressure regulators, air volume and temperature sensors, and the engine control computer.
Loosen the gas cap a bunch to get a check engine light come on that’s hardly a driving issue but you can say hey I’ve got a problem. The unsealed pressurization of the fuel system will be detected as a fault. If you really want it to drive poorly, take off one of the spark plug wires. The car will run rough and miss and accelerate poorly but might still be a bit driveable. Depends on whether its a 4 cyl, 6 cyl, or 8 cyl. the first being most affected. Any number of fuses can be removed. Probably some sensor wires - MAF, oxygen sensors, air temp sensors, Fuel injectors, RPM, etc can be unplugged and cause rough running and check engine lights. If you mean while you’re driving and can’t reach under the hood, about the best you can do is press randomly on the gas pedal to simulate surging and stalling.
A cylinder requires 3 things to ignite:- Air Fuel Spark So if spark isn't the problem my next guess would be Fuel. Check your fuel injector whether it is working or not. Also you can check whether the fuel injector is recieving any current from the connector or not. Of the current is there then try switching the injector from other cylinder's. If cylinder No.2 fires up then it was definitely your injector. If it doesn't it would believe that maybe the power supply to the injector is at fault. Another thing that might pose a problem is, Air. There might be a problem where the valves have been stuck open(although this is highly unlikely, like lesser than 1% chances of this happening). Maybe this might be the case and to rectify it you can use a engine compression testing kit. The compression readings should be greater than 130(+/- 10%). If it is not then there are two possibilities. One that your piston rings have given up and you can check the same by removing the dipstick or oil filler cap and check for any blowby. If there isn't any then it's your cylinder head at fault i.e probably the valves.
Short answer is yes, if you care about you investment, always be cautious and play the safe card. Get it check out sooner than later. Think about it this way, the check engine light (CEL) is only accurate 90% of the time to the actual failure. It could be related to the cleaner or something totally unrelated. The CEL may not even be engine related. Worst case scenario with cleaners like that, is if too much of the cleaner goes through the engine, and thus the catalytic converter(s), you can melt the catalytic converter(s), which are $$$. Same thing can happen with too much fuel. If the catalytic converter was being damaged, you’d probably have a bad odor and a flashing CEL. Obviously there is always a risk of fouling a sensor with cleaners like this. On the flip side, it could make the engine return to normal operating conditions, assuming the fuel injector cleaner was to address a concern, and result in the computer sensing a fault or condition that it had been compensating for all along, but now the engine computer (ECU) can “see” clearly.
It may be helpful to understand the working of carburetor and fuel injection system, before analysing their advantages. Carburetor ,- The air and fuel(petrol) enters the carburetor through separate ports assigned for them. If undisturbed, they get mixed inside the carburetor at stoichiometric ratio*We can get rich mixture by opening the choke valve. After mixing, the air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder through inlet valve during suction stroke. Fuel injector ,- The fuel injection system consists of a fuel injector (nozzle) whose operation is controlled by electric circuits through sensors. The air from the air filter enters the cylinder through inlet valve during suction stroke. The fuel injection begins at the end of compression stroke. The fuel is sprayed like moist. Due to atomization, the air and fuel get mixed inside the cylinder. Now, we can compare their characteristics. Fuel efficiency ,- Since we can get precise control over mixing of air and fuel, ,vehicle with fuel injection has greater fuel efficiency than carburetor. Maintenance ,- Both the systems can be easily maintained but in case of any problem, ,fuel injector demands more cost and complex repair methods. Cost ,- It is obvious that ,vehicle with a carburetor is cheaper than a fuel injected one. Vehicle stability ,- The vehicle will operate ,more stable with fuel injection technology. Considering the facts that the petrol prices are increasing gradually and faults in the fuel injection system are usually less, it will be better if you choose a ,fuel injected scooter. Hope this helps.
The following results will likely accumulate with mileage increases; Increased carbon particulates adhered to spark plugs, exhaust valves, exhaust manifold, turbocharger (of equipped) and am emissions parts including EGR. Reduced fuel economy as Carbon buildup occurs. Fouled spark plugs (if equipped), direct port fuel injectors (if equipped). Reduced power and torque. Fuel varnish deposits on fuel lines, fuel pump, injector rail and the fuel tank itself. Water accumulation in fuel tank more likely with high sulfur fuel. Engine Control Management (ECM) signals and readings become degraded as it detects (via several different engine management sensors) engine faults created by any of the above listed causes. Read up on the chemical composition of Sulphur and its properties to learn more. Diesels will emit a far higher percentage of nitrous oxides when high sulphur grade is used, creating excessive hot spots inside the exhaust system, further damaging associated parts.
