OEM Honda & Acura Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors are just one part of your fuel system, along with your fuel tank, fuel pump, and fuel filters.

What Do Fuel Injectors Do?

They spray fuel into your engine using electronic controlled valves. (So, basically, they're more efficient replacements for carburetors, not to mention lower-emissions versions of them.) The valves open and close at the correct intervals for creating the equally correct ratio of fuel and oxygen -- the mix your engine burns to produce power. There's often one fuel injector per cylinder.

How Do Fuel Injectors Work?

The process starts when your fuel pump pushes the gas in your tank through your fuel lines to the injectors themselves. An engine control unit (or ECU, for short) uses sensors to figure out the right time for the injectors to spray that fuel through their nozzles into your engine's combustion chamber.

What are the Signs of Faulty or Bad Fuel Injectors?

It's unfortunate, but any fuel injector can go bad. Symptoms of that include:

• A lit Check Engine light on your dash
• Engine misfires
• Engine vibrations
• Rough idling
• Stalling
• Fuel leaks
• A reduction in fuel economy
• A failed emissions test

If you see any, it's best to do a fuel system inspection. When it's time to buy the best fuel injectors for your project, be sure to get genuine OEM. You can order them online, direct from Honda or Acura, right here at our auto parts store. Buy now, and you'll be getting the job done in no time!
