Diagnosing engine problems yourself can be difficult, especially since many problems such as poor engine power, increased fuel consumption and higher emissions can have many causes. In some cases, however, a dirty or faulty fuel injector is to blame. (We know, we talk to customers with this issue every week.)

Modern cars use high-pressure fuel injectors that spray a fine mist of fuel for improved combustion. Even a small amount of carbon buildup or gunk in the injector nozzle can affect this spray and cause engine misfires, pre-ignition and other drivability issues. There are a few ways to diagnose a bad fuel injector that you can try at home, though, before you go to the hassle and expense of visiting a mechanic.

Things to Try at…

If you suspect you have a faulty fuel injector, you want to know how much it will cost to have it replaced. While the price varies for every vehicle, the bad news is that in all cases, it’s expensive.

New fuel injectors range from several hundred dollars for basic vehicles up to over $1,000 for high-end vehicles and performance vehicles that require high fuel delivery rates. Some garages will remove, disassemble and clean your injectors, but the shop time can quickly add up as well, with most bills totaling over $500.

Instead of forking over all that cash right away, try a bottle of Rislone Fuel System Treatment. In many cases, your fuel injectors are not working properly because of carbon and gunk buildup. This…

Few automotive fixes are as easy as using fuel injector cleaner! In most cases, all it takes is one bottle of Rislone Fuel System Treatment to remove buildup and deposits from your injectors and get them running right.

You will notice an improvement in performance, power, fuel economy and emissions right away and can help avoid further buildup and fuel injector problems by using a bottle every 3,000-5,000 miles. It really is that easy to clean your fuel injectors.
