Is your EFI acting OFF?

Is your car experiencing a decline in fuel efficiency, making loud backfiring sounds, or running roughly?

If the answer is yes, then there is a chance that your vehicle's Electronic Fuel Injection System (EFI) may be the culprit. This system regulates fuel flow to the engine, and any malfunction could result in poor fuel economy and a rough ride. But fret not, Southey's Mechanical Repairs in Dalby has the expertise and tools to fix even the most complex EFI issues.

With advanced diagnostic tools, unparalleled skills, and years of experience, our team can identify, diagnose, and solve intricate EFI problems to bring your vehicle's performance back to its peak. If you are experiencing reduced fuel economy or rough running, bring your car to our conveniently located workshop in Dalby for a professional and efficient EFI service.

Today's modern cars come equipped with sophisticated Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that manage Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems. These high-pressure fuel delivery systems ensure the correct fuel pressure and flow rate is supplied to the engine.

As many as thirty different sensors monitor different engine aspects, like temperature, airflow, and oxygen levels, providing information to the ECU. Using this data, the ECU optimizes the fuel delivery system, determining the right air-fuel mixture for maximum engine efficiency. This leads to reduced fuel costs and minimized exhaust emissions, making regular checks of the EFI system crucial.

Apart from the above signs, an engine that runs briefly after ignition switch-off is another classic sign of EFI issues. If you notice an apparent increase in fuel consumption or a noticeable decrease in performance, or if the engine is hard to start and runs poorly, these point to a potential need for EFI service.

While some EFI problems have simple solutions, others can be more complex and challenging to detect. At Southey's Mechanical Repairs, our workshop is equipped with specialized diagnostic tools that can detect and repair even the most intricate EFI issues.

What is Limp Mode?

Limp mode is a safety feature that can trigger when the ECU encounters data that is incorrect or outside known value ranges, or it cannot process. It sets a fault code and initiates some form of warning to get the car to a safe location. As the Fuel system of a car is a major system, a faulty or failing sensor or lines may trigger this safety function. Limp mode can be unpredictable, and you should pull over immediately and get your car checked over by a qualified mechanic if you notice this. At Southey's Mechanical Repairs, we can diagnose if the issue is an EFI related problem or not.
