TBI is fuel injection....it just uses one or two injectors mounted in the location of where the carb used to be. Multi-Port fuel injection may give you a small (very small) improvement in fuel economy. However, the cost and trouble to make the switch would take a long time to pay off with the small amount of improvement in mileage.

Are there any automotive accessories that increase your fuel economy?

Yes. In my exprience a cold air intake and an exhaust can increa fuel economy. It gives the motor more power so you step on the gas less. Also a modified fuel injection system with proper air mix ratio can increase economy but may decrease power.


What year did gm move fuel pump from engine to fuel tank?

When they switched to Fuel Injection. Around 1985, except the Corvette, depending on the model car.

Why was the electric fuel pump invented?

It easily supplied enough fuel pressure for fuel injection. It also reduced parasitic drag, improving fuel economy.


Can you switch the fuel injection for carburation On 1994 5.7L?

you probably could but would not be wise b\c ecm looks and meters fuel injection you could trough fault codes and for sure ruin your fuel economy


How can you improve or increase fuel economy?

There are many ways to increase fuel economy, and many fraudulent products that claim to increase fuel economy. Ways to improve fuel economy can be divided into four general categories: - Driving habits - Fuel considerations - Maintenance tips - Vehicle upgrades One free online guide tries to cover each of these areas well, at the Ultimate Synthetic Oil website of DMT Technical.


What is the benefits of having fuel injected into the motor?

The benefits of fuel injection include lower emissions, better fuel economy, and more power. Fuel injection measures the intake of air and injects the proper amount of fuel for the engine to function at peak efficiency and performance.


How much horse power does a 305 V8 fuel economy or emissions motor have?

Depends on the year, carburetion/fuel injection, application, etc.


Is a 89 Jeep Wrangler fuel injection?

Sort of, you see the 89 Jeeps had Throttle body injection. This differs from actual fuel injection because instead of injecting into the intake prior to the valve, it injects fuel into the throttle body through just one injector instead of multiple injectors. Better than a carburetor, but not quite as good as injection as far as fuel economy is concerned.


What is injection engine?

Assuming that you are asking about fuel injection, fuel injection is an alternative to using a carburetor to get the fuel to the cylinders. There are several different types of fuel injection. Probably the three most common are throttle body fuel injection, port fuel injection and direct fuel injection. Throttle body fuel injection uses something that looks a good deal like a carburetor but has one, two or more electrical operated solenoid valves that spray a metered amount of fuel into the incoming combustion air. Port fuel injection is similar but the fuel is injected into the intake manifold port of each cylinder. Port fuel injection can provide improvements in emissions, fuel economy and performance if done correctly. Both throttle body and port fuel injection are low pressure systems. Direct fuel injection injects the fuel directly into the combustion chamber and is a high pressure system. Direct fuel injection can provide even more improvement in emissions, fuel mileage and performance and is becoming more and more common in passenger vehicles. As a further note, most, if not all, compression combustion (like a diesel engine) engines use high pressure direct fuel injection.


What does Turbo do for fuel economy?

It will increase your MPG if you drive it normally, and dont race it


What are the advantages of fuel injection?

Lower emissions Better cold engine starting/idling better fuel economy and in most cases more power through out the powerband.
