Fuel Injectors for Chevrolet Cavalier
When the fuel reaches the Chevrolet Cavalier engine, it can be distributed to fuel injectors individually so that they can regulate the levels of fuel used in each engine cycle. This part is typically available as a genuine OEM part from Chevrolet for direct replacement or for performance from an aftermarket brand. Some of the brands offering fuel injectors for Chevrolet Cavalier vehicles include ACDelco, Bosch, Delphi, DENSO, Fel-Pro, GB Remanufacturing, and Standard Motor Products.
How do Chevy fuel injectors work?These parts are designed to deliver pressurized fuel to the engine. Whenever the engine completes an intake stroke, the Chevys computer sends a signal requesting spray fuel from the fuel injectors. For more acceleration, a longer duration of fuel spray is deployed than if the motor was just idling. The electronically actuated fuel is sprayed with similar force as a household spray cleaner.
An exact amount of gas is delivered by the Chevrolet fuel injectors based on the calculations fuel injection control computer on board. The injector calculations determining the amount of fuel pressure delivered to the engine include a number of variables including the temperature of the block, the temperature outside, and the amount of air being drawn into the block.
When do you replace Chevy fuel injector parts?When the Chevy injectors become clogged or begin to fail, misfiring can occur, and the engines power performance will begin to diminish. Auto performance issues related to Chevrolet injectors can either become increasingly worse, intermittent, or just suddenly occur at any time.
The Chevy memory stores a number of on-board diagnostic codes that should trigger the "check engine" light for the fuel delivery system if these injectors do begin to fail. As the problem worsens, ignition may fail or stall, the vehicles throttle could start lagging, or it may vibrate roughly.
What should you do if a Chevrolet fuel injector fails?You should avoid driving when the performance of the injector system is impaired. It could be hazardous to drive when the vehicle unpredictably accelerates or stalls suddenly. If the gas is unable to sufficiently reach the engine, the vehicle will be almost impossible to drive. The internal components of the Chevrolet Cavalier may also be damaged by the excessive heat caused from operating on lean conditions.
Most fuel injectors can begin to fail around 80,000 miles. These Chevy Cavalier components require normally scheduled tune-ups and minimal maintenance. Scheduling interval maintenance appointments for the injectors and fueling system is one of the best ways to prolong the lifespan of these components.
