What causes the fuel injector's to tap real load then stop then tap again?

Fuel injectors don't tap. You are hearing the hydraulic valve lifters which are full of oil when functioning properly. Without sufficient oil they will make a tapping sound. If the car has sat for along time they will sometimes tap for a few seconds when you first crank it up. If yours valve lifters are tapping intermediately I would suggest checking your oil level and if that is OK you may have an oil pump going bad. If that should be the case do not drive the car as the motor will not get sufficient oil and will burn the bearings and kill the motor.

What would cause your 2002 silverado 4.8 to run rough under load?
What might cause your 2002 Silverado 4.8 to run rough under a load could be clogged fuel injectors or a clogged fuel filter. It might also run rough under a load because of a transmission sensor issue.
When in park or neutral if I rev my Ford Taurus engine to 4000rpms it starts to sputter What could cause this?
This is by design, as the engine is not under load. the engine computer shuts off the fuel injectors, there is no hysteresis so the injectors turn back on quickly once below 4000rpm, and the cycle repeats. This also happens when the speedometer maxes out, in my case, 180kM/h, the fuel injectors shut off.
What causes a 1986 Chevy 350 to lack power under load?
Maybe fuel filter Maybe plugged catalytic converter
Why does air conditioning use more fuel?
Because the air conditioning compressor, is run from a pulley off of the engine. This puts an additional load on the engine, which causes more fuel to be used.
What causes a Mercedes E430 to hesitate under hard acceleration?
COUPLE OF GUESSES. NUMBER 1 WOULD BE POSSIBLY A FUEL RELATED ISSUE, PLUGGING UP YOUR INJECTORS. COULD TRY SOME TECHRON IN THE FUEL TANK WITH A HARD DRIVE, OR TRY FLUSHING OUT ALL THE INJECTORS, THEN DRIVE IT HARD. NUMBER 2 WOULD BE A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, BUT WILL MOST LIKEY CAUSE YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. answer it sounds like your plug leads are breaking down under load or the airmass meter is gone i work in merc main dealer

What causes a engine to spit and sputter while driving but the car idles fine?
dirt in the carburator, incorrect fuelling or ignition (i.e. spark) breaking down under load. Check that fuel is getting through, fuel pressure & that injectors are spraying correctly, and that plugs are giving a good healthy blue spark. If spark is weak it could be plugs, leads, coil, distributor cap / rotor arm or a bad earth - check everything.
Why causes a 2006 5.9 dodge diesel engine smoke black smoke?
not the perfect air fuel mixture. normal under load and acceleration.
Is the air conditioning actually hard ON THE engine?
It is not hard, but it is an extra load that will lower fuel economy.It is not hard, but it is an extra load that will lower fuel economy.
What would cause low power on a Cummins N-14 under load?
Overloading the engine, poor fuel quality, plugged or partially plugged fuel filters, dirty air filter, fuel restriction, low output from turbocharger, poor injectors or pump, misadjusted valves, overheating of engine, faulty torque convertor, transmission problems if automatic.
How fuel supply is related to horse power of an diesel engine?
Diesels run on only needing fuel and air to operate. The more load that is demanded out of the engine means that the injectors are going to open up and meter more fuel. And with more fuel comes more air (ie: superchargers, and turbochargers) So the more fuel that is need the more air is need also. So the more fuel you can add to your engine, the more horse power will be produced.
