Injectors can get damaged from poor quality fuel, corrosive injector cleaners and clogged fuel filters.
When an injector gets clogged or dirty, the fuel going to your engine will be restricted. This can cause a lean fuel/air mixture which in some cases may damage your engine. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Difficulty starting
- Uneven idling
- Bad gas mileage
- Poor performance
- Smell gas
If your car is struggling to start, won’t idle or feels slower than usual, you may have faulty fuel injectors. If you smell gas and your stalling while idling or experiencing a rough idle, your fuel injectors may be stuck open. Has the ‘check engine’ light also illuminated? Then you should immediately get your injectors checked out.
