Is your EFI a bit IFFY?

If you're getting poor mileage or are experiencing difficulties when driving your vehicle, it may be time to pay some attention to your engine! The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is designed to provide the most efficient operation for your car by delivering fuel rapidly and effectively.

Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling.

RPM Automotive offer a variety of EFI solutions including diagnostics, repairs and replacements, cleaning throttle valves, checking sensors such as temperature gauges or oxygen sensor sockets etc., along with checking input data from the Engine Control Unit (ECU). If you suspect you have an EFI related problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse.

  • Checking engine control unit (ECU)

RPM Automotive uses computerized diagnostic equipment to test your vehicle's ECU (the computer central system that controls all actions related to fuel delivery and other car functions), and this can aid in detecting issues such as malfunctioning sensors or faulty wiring connections that may be causing faults with your car's performance.

How RPM Automotive can diagnose and fix problems with your EFI:

  • RPM Automotive use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret.
  • Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem.
  • Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly
  • Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere!
  • Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds.
  • If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'
