What is Fuel Injection?

When I put gas in my car am I not injecting fuel into it? It is a little more complicated than that. A fuel pump sends the gas to the engine, and it is then injected into the inlet manifold by an injector. Clear as mud…right? A.J.’s Import Garage is a fuel injection specialist. They will vacuum the lines to make sure you keep running smoothly along the byways of Topeka.

The fuel injectors are one of two types, depending on the injection system. One uses continuous injection. In this case, fuel is led into the inlet port while the engine is running. Then there is timed injection where the fuel is delivered in consistent bursts. Both may be controlled electronically or mechanically.

You do NOT need to understand fuel injection! You simple need to know where to find A.J.’s Import Garage. They are located at 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka, KS. Their mechanics will keep you on the road running smoothly. Call (785) 233-1000 for an appointment and visit ajsimportgarage.com online.
