Every car engine has a fuel system that is comprised of a fuel filter, a pump, and injectors. During a fuel injection service, your mechanic will typically inspect all connections, the fuel and vacuum lines, the fuel rail, and the pressure regulator. They will then clean the fuel injectors and throttle body air intake.

Cleaning fuel injectors is a service recommended by dealers and repair shops. But unless there are noticeable signs of clogged fuel injector it might not be necessary. Generally, any vehicle built-in 2004 or after should have a fuel injection cleaning every 45,000 miles or three years. Automobiles older than that might need the fuel injectors cleaned more often for optimal engine performance.


 

If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following signs, you’ll want to see your mechanic sooner.

  • Poor performance overall

  • A rough idle or lurching

  • Repeated stalling

  • Poor acceleration

  • Engine pinging

  • Poor fuel mileage
