Dirty fuel injectors can result in poor acceleration, lower power, poor fuel economy, rough idling and an incorrect air/fuel mix. They can also lead to higher carbon monoxide emissions—bad news if you have an emissions test on the horizon.
Fuel injector cleaning is important to maximizing your car’s performance.
It doesn’t take much to clog your fuel injectors either. Their openings are roughly half the size of a pinhole. And it only takes an 8% to 10% blockage to cause a misfire in your engine.
That’s why it’s so important to have your fuel injectors checked by Ed's Auto Repair Centre.
Ed's Auto Repair Centre recommends you schedule a fuel injector cleaning every 25,000 miles (owner's manual.) Drivers who make a lot of short trips or have a lot of miles on their car are especially susceptible to clogged fuel injectors.
Regular fuel injector cleaning will improve your vehicle’s acceleration. You’ll save money on gas and cut down on harmful emissions. It can even extend the life of your engine.

What Does The Fuel Pump Do Exactly?
Located in the fuel tank, the fuel pump, which nowadays is usually electric, simply pumps fuel from your gasoline tank to your engine. The pump creates pressure in the fuel lines that pushes the gasoline to the engine. Unused fuel is returned to the fuel tank. In most cars the fuel pump delivers a constant flow of gasoline to the engine. When the flow becomes less constant, your car starts acting sluggish or just stops acting altogether.
What Causes The Fuel Pump To Fail? Fuel pumps can fail for a number of reasons. Most commonly because of contamination, overheating and over time, the gears in your fuel pump wear out.
Anything I Can Do To Help?
Try not to run your car on a low gas tank. On most vehicles, 10-15 times the amount of fuel your fuel pump sends to your engine gets sent back to your tank. This help cools down your fuel. By running on a low tank, the fuel in your tank can overheat or even run dry.
