Fuel Pump and Fuel Injector Problems
The fuel pump, or fuel injector, is one the most vital parts of your car engine. The fuel pump, as the name suggests, is used to pump the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine or fuel injection system. Most of the fuel pumps used on present-day vehicles are electric and located in the fuel tank although some vehicles use two fuel pumps: one in the fuel tank and one on the driver’s side frame rail. The in-tank pump sends the fuel under low pressure to the pump located on the frame rail. The fuel pump on the rail increases the fuel pressure to the required pressure needed by the fuel injectors.
Diesel fuel injector problems are now becoming a real issue with so many high tech diesel cars being sold in the last few years. Replacements can cost anything up to several hundred pounds each and one is required for every cylinder. These diesel injectors often seize into the cylinder head and are very expensive and virtually impossible to remove on some engines
Oil leaks require immediate attention as leaks lead to very low oil levels and eventually component failure due to overheating and eventual seizure.
Because it’s such an important component of your car, fuel pump problems are bound to negatively impact the performance of your car. These issues can range from inadequate pressure to a bad fuel pump. Inadequate pressure will either prevent the car from starting or causes the engine to start and quit while running. If the pressure is normal, but volume is inadequate, the engine will work, but other problems such as loss of power and inadequate supply of fuel to the engine may arise. In case of bad fuel pump, however, the engine will not start at all.
