Once upon a time, many years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earthhuman beings got around on horses, wagons, wagons pulled by horses or, god forbid, their feet. Then the automobile was invented and everything changed: peeps found themselves dealing with a mechanism that required the complex channeling of fuel and the challenges that accompanied it.
All About Fuel Injection
As the automobile evolved, the carburetor became more complicated, sometimes requiring use of all five of its circuits just to function properly. This necessitated the development of a more efficient tool, and the fuel injector came to the plate. Fuel injection has been around since the 1950s and the last car with a carburetor was released on 1990. Today, you'd be hardefficient response.
The engine control unit uses the information provided by the oxygen sensors monitor to adjust the balance between air and fuel as the components fluctuate.
A Few More Facts About Fuel Injection
* The fuel injector is simply an electronically controlled valve. It's capable of opening several times per second and is fed by the pressurized fuel by the car's fuel pump.
* The nozzle is designed to '''atomize''' the fuelto make as fine a mist as possible so that it can burn easily.
* FYI: The amount of time a fuel valve stays open is referred to as the "pulse width."
* Fuel injectors are typically mounted in or near the intake manifold, depending on the type of fuel injector.
* The pressure of the air in the intake manifold is monitored by the manifold absolute pressure sensor.
* The combustion chamber is where the fuel gets atomized and carbonized by the fuel injector. The better the quality of the valve, the more quickly it is able to function.
* The term "fuel injection valve" is used interchangeably with "fuel injector."
* In opposition to the intake valve, which controls air, the fuel injector controls the flow of flow or fluid. The power to inject the fuel comes from a pump or pressure container a bit farther back in the fuel supply.
