Fuel Injector Question

[Dieseldude]

Hi Jake,

Yes I'm already back, sorry I wasn't able to drop by your shop. Had too much stuff going on.

During calibration, I wonder, is it standard procedure to clean the prechambers too? I'm not familiar with direct injection engines so I only ask for the IDI type

We don't normally touch the prechambers. This is not a problem area.

Replacement of the compression washers between the between the injector and prechamber is mandatory on 617s and 60xx engines.

Thanks Jake, I was going to ask about the washers. You read my mind

Basically. All you need to do with gasoline injectors is to check that they're not plugged. But there's no need to calibrate them. You can have them balanced, though, for better response and power. But it's not necessary.

Oops... posted wrong... finally remembered what they called it... blueprinting. This is where they ensure that each injector gives the exact same amount of fuel and has the exact same spray pattern. Great for tuning for power, but too expensive to make sense otherwise.

My 13 year old Corolla 95 GLi is already running on low mileage 9km/L (is this really low or normal?). Is it advisable to have the injection system cleaned? How much would it cost me? Is there a recommended shop in Alabang? Thanks!

My odometer reading is already 120,000+ km.

Is it advisable to have the injection system cleaned? How much would it cost me? Is there a recommended shop in Alabang? Dasher Goodyear Servitek is a great workshop located in Alabang. Replace your air filter, and have a thorough engine tune-up. They can recommend if injector service is necessary.
