Does your EFI need a little TLC?

The electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is one of the most critical components of a car's engine. It is designed to reliably deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly and at peak performance, whilst using the minimum amount of fuel. If your EFI is slightly off, it can affect the performance of your car and result in additional fuel consumption. Regular maintenance and servicing can help you avoid these issues and ensure that your vehicle remains in top shape.

Regular car servicing can help you keep on top of any problems your vehicle may experience, including EFI problems. Whilst performing your regular car service schedule you can rest assured that Cowaramup Auto Tech will definitely advise you if there is any suspicion that your EFI system might need a bit of Tender Loving Care. They will perform a thorough inspection of your car, including checking the EFI system for any problems and if they find an issue, they will alert you to it, and you can decide whether to have it fixed or not.

Symptoms of an EFI problem can include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should take your car in for a check-up. An EFI problem can become worse if not fixed promptly, so it is always best to get it checked out.

Limp mode is another issue that can affect your car's EFI. Sometimes, a vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) may detect a significant EFI problem, resulting in a "Limp Mode" where your car's performance may be limited. It's essential to understand what Limp Mode is and what steps you should take when it happens.

Limp mode is when the EFI system detects a problem that is affecting the car's performance and puts the car in a "safe" mode. This mode restricts the engine's performance and can prevent further damage. If your car goes into limp mode, you should take it to a mechanic as soon as possible to diagnose the problem.
