While cars and their maintenance can be complex topics, understanding key elements of your vehicle can keep it running smoother, longer. Today, Southern Highlands Service Centre} are breaking down an often overlooked but critical aspect: the EFI, or Electronic Fuel Injection system.
An EFI system is like the central nervous system of your vehicle. It is responsible for mixing the correct proportion of fuel and air to power your engine optimally. Overseeing several other systems within your car, including the throttle, fuel, and emissions systems, it’s one busy aspect of your car that could lead to significant problems if neglected.
In a nutshell, the EFI system controls the fuel-air mixture by employing sensors and injectors to regulate the amount of fuel that gets to your engine. It uses a constant stream of information from your engine’s sensors to calculate and deliver the right amount of fuel for optimal combustion, efficiency, and emissions.
Like most car parts, your EFI system can suffer from wear and tear. Regular servicing ensures its optimal performance and fuel efficiency. This could save you from costly repairs and, most importantly, keep you and your car safe.
Understanding common EFI issues can help you address them in time, improving your car’s performance and safety.
These problems occur when your EFI's sensors are not accurately reading and delivering the right amount of fuel. The risk? An improperly running engine, higher fuel consumption, or even permanent engine damage.
A basic EFI service typically involves an EFI scan, a fuel injector clean and inspecting all associated parts. This includes the throttle body, idle speed control and coolant sensors, and can lead to the replacement of any defective components.

That’s a destination worth steering towards. Happy motoring!
