Fuel Injector Cleaning Services

Today's vehicles are packed with parts and components that all help them run and perform. While fuel injectors may not seem like one of the bigger vehicle components, they play an important role in how a vehicle starts and how effectively the engine performs. That said, it's important to ensure that you're maintaining the fuel injectors properly.

In this post we'll explain why fuel injector cleaning is so important, common signs that your fuel injectors need to be serviced, and some of the key benefits of professional cleaning. Learn more below or contact your nearby GreatWater-affiliated shop today to schedule service.

Why Fuel Injector Cleaning is Essential

Fuel injectors function by spraying fuel into the combustion chamber so that your vehicle can start when you fire up the engine. But if your fuel injectors are dirty or failing, it's going to lead to poor combustion - and it's going to be more difficult to start your car. That's why regular fuel injector service is so important.

How Our Fuel Injector Cleaning Service Works

At your neighborhood GreatWater,-affiliated shop our fuel injector cleaning service is simple and effective. It involves flushing out the fuel injector, ridding it of carbon deposits, debris, and other build-up that has a tendency to accumulate over time and lead to performance issues. We suggest having your fuel injectors cleaned every 45,000 miles or when you begin to notice some of the common signs associated with clogged fuel injectors (more on this later).

Common Signs of Clogged Fuel Injectors

So what are some of the common signs of clogged fuel injectors? Here's a look at some signs to be on the lookout for that could mean you need cleaning soon:

  • Rough idling
  • A decrease in fuel economy
  • It takes a long time for your engine to start
  • Your engine regularly stalls out
  • The check engine light is on

Benefits of Professional Fuel Injector Cleaning

The biggest benefit of professional fuel injector cleaning is ensuring that your vehicle's engine turns over easily and runs well. Some other benefits of fuel injector cleaning include improved fuel economy and reduced emissions, extending the life of your engine, and a smoother overall ride.

When to Schedule a Fuel Injector Cleaning

We suggest scheduling a fuel injector cleaning every 45,000 miles or when you begin to experience some of the common signs and symptoms that we listed above. Again, these signs include rough idling, poor fuel economy, rough engine starts, and more. Contact your local GreatWater garage if you think you need fuel injector cleaning.
