Diesel Fuel Injection System Help Desk

[ajOT]

Sir, as to when is the vehicle needs to be put unto calibration center?
what does a Calibration Center usually check and what do they really do to your engine - yes, to calibrate your engine thats why they are called calibration center - can you kindly, put it into laymans term/easy to understand why an engine needs to be calibrated...
is it only diesel engine(s) that needs to be calibrated?

* am just curious coz there are numerous calibration center am seeing here in my place - but most of them are fixin jeepneys not private cars, as to what I noticed...

thank you...

Sir, as to when is the vehicle needs to be put unto calibration center? Diesel car owners normally have their engnes or diesel injection system checked when they notice irregular engine performance like: low power, black smoke, rough running, etc.

what does a Calibration Center usually check and what do they really do to your engine - The calibration center works only on the engine's diesel fuel injection system..... not the engine.

yes, to calibrate your engine thats why they are called calibration center - can you kindly, put it into laymans term/easy to understand why an engine needs to be calibrated... the engine is not calibrated.

is it only diesel engine(s) that needs to be calibrated? Yes, only the fuel system of a diesel engine is calibrated. Gasoline engines don't normally require this service.

* am just curious coz there are numerous calibration center am seeing here in my place - but most of them are fixin jeepneys not private cars, as to what I noticed... Where are you located?

thank you... You're welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

isnt there a necessary kilometer(s) run by the vehicle that requires the vehicle to be calibrated (ex. Change oil-mineral - every 5k kms); coz my Innova is already 70k kms. in Odo, yet performing at its topmost condition; I just dont want to lose its performance...

honestly I am somewhat ashame to ask this, but what the heck, id rather ask this than remain innocent... isn't that diesel fuel injection system part of the engine?

is it only diesel engine(s) that needs to be calibrated? Yes, only the fuel system of a diesel engine is calibrated. Gasoline engines don't normally require this service. but can a gasoline engined vehicle be calibrated?

thank you... You're welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. thanks again... youre such a great help....

Happy Holidays...

Change oil and other engine-related service intervals are stated in the owners manual. Diesel calibration service is not included on the service interval.

honestly I am somewhat ashame to ask this, but what the heck, id rather ask this than remain innocent... isn't that diesel fuel injection system part of the engine? Yes it is. But it doesn't need to be serviced regularly as it is built to last. Diesel fuel injection systems often fail due to dirty and/or use of water contaminated fuel, or use of poor quality fuel filters.

is it only diesel engine(s) that needs to be calibrated? Yes, only the fuel system of a diesel engine is calibrated. Gasoline engines don't normally require this service. but can a gasoline engined vehicle be calibrated?

Yes, the gasoline fuel injectors can be calibrated as the need arises.

Ooookay....

thank you... You're welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. thanks again... youre such a great help....

Happy Holidays... You are welcome.

tnx for clarifying...

why do you happen to know this stuff, I believe youre a Mech. Engineer or something? or probably, do you own a calibration center?
do you happen to know how much, would it cost for an Innova to be calibrated?

can I just go to a calibration center, just to have my tsikot checked by them if it needs to be calibrated?

tnx again...

tnx for clarifying...

why do you happen to know this stuff? Because I have been in the field of diesel fuel injection for more than 30 years.

I believe youre a Mech. Engineer or something? or probably, do you own a calibration center? View my occupation under Dieseldude's public profile.

do you happen to know how much it would cost for an Innova to be calibrated? Cost depends on what's wrong with your Innova. Is there anything wrong with your car? You don't need calibration service if your car performs well.

can I just go to a calibration center, just to have my tsikot checked by them if it needs to be calibrated? No. Not all calibration centers can service the Innova or any common rail diesel system. Only workshops which have fault scanning capability and common rail test equipment can do this service.

tnx again... You're welcome.

wow you got a long great work experience...


do you happen to know how much it would cost for an Innova to be calibrated? Cost depends on what's wrong with your Innova. Is there anything wrong with your car? none, as of the moment.. hoping nothing would happen in the near future... You don't need calibration service if your car performs well. alright!
