I had a 1987 Pontiac Grand Am I found out that the injector needed to be replaced when the car would start for only a few seconds and the die out abruptly. The injector would only spray enough fuel into the throttle body in order to start it then would stop, the injector was located in the middle and above the throttle body making for an easy repair.

What happen when you pour fuel injector cleaner directly into a throttle body injection?

You completely waste the injector cleaner. It has to flow through the ports which supply fuel to the engine to do its job. That's why the directions tell you to put it into the gas tank in a certain ratio to gas. It mixes with the fuel in the tank, flows through the system and out of the injector ports.

Why is the fuel injection not injecting on a 1986 2.5 liter Chrysler lebaron?

Well...I am no mechanic but I can tell you I am going through a similar issue with my 1986 Chrysler Lebaron. My mechanic replaced the fuel pump which was heavily corroded, then another mechanic friend replaced the fuel injector and the regulator along with the spark plugs but still no fire and today he checked out the fuel injector connector and noticed the wiring on one side of this part is not in perfect condition which could possibly be causing this car from not fully igniting and staying powered. So far, he is scouting junk yards to locate this part. Hope this info helps.


You have a 94 Chevy cavalier and you just replaced the starter now it wants to start but wont could it b the fuel pump?

Double check your coil connection. If it checks there is a test port on the fuel injector rail. You can tell if the fuel pump is operating. If you have the gauge you can make sure the pressure is correct. But I would double check electrical first.

Can you blow air through injector bank if valve is there and at what pressure to use?

I want to clarify if you are asking if you can blow air through a fuel injector? If this is your question, I am not really sure what you are going to gain by trying to do this. A fuel injector has a tiny valve inside that opens with an electrical pulse from the PCM. Even if you could open that valve, the passages inside the injector are the size of a pinprick. There is nothing to be gained in trying to blow air through an injector. You will not even be able to tell how much air is going through the injector, and how much air is going around the injector as you are doing this. If the injector will not clean up with injector cleaners, then it will require replacement.


How to time the fuel injection of a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee limited V8?

I believe the fuel injector timing is set by the car's computer which take information from various parts operating in the engine to tell the injector when to operate. Everything must be in spec. to get the injector's timing right. It's a team effort of the components to keep efficiency and to function with regards to specified emmissions.


How can you tell if it is the fuel filter or fuel pump that needs to be replaced on a 90 Subaru Legacy?

if you have owned the car for a long time chances are the filter will need changing. the fuel pump should buzz when the ignition is turned on so if it does its a good sign it is ok. but there are companys out there that can check the fuel pressure to see if its ok. Adam www.aeautomotive.co.UK

How do you know when the fuel injector goes bad on a 1997 Mazda Protege?

there is a certain tool that will detect a small vibration. check each injector with this. no detection will determine the faulty injector IT WILL TELL YOU. no it wont tell you. take a long screw driver, and put the metal end on the top of the injector with the engine running. if you hear a small clicking noise, then it is working properly. make sure you check all 4 injectors
