Gasoline Direct Injection Technology
Gasoline Direct Injection technology has been a key part of improving fuel economy and reducing emissions since the early 2000s. This video is sponsored by Standard.
Gasoline Direct Injection: Total System Diagnostics
Modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines have two fuel pump opportunities. You still have an electric pump in the tank, but a high-pressure fuel pump is on the engine. These two pumps work in unison, so the correct quantity of fuel is injected directly into the cylinder. If either pump can’t generate the pressure or
Bosch Expands Training Offerings; Adds Course In Advance Gasoline Direct Injection
Bosch has announced that it is expanding its repertoire of training courses to include an advanced course on Gasoline Direct Injection Technology (GDI) for automotive technicians. This one-day class will be offered in various locations throughout the United States and will launch in 2013.
Valvoline Launches Fuel System Service For Gasoline Direct-Injection Systems
This fuel system service removes carbon deposits from hard-to-reach intake valves, piston tops, cylinder heads and fuel injectors in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines in just over one hour using basic tools, a simple canister apparatus and shop air.
Carbon Deposits and Direct Injection Engines
The primary cause of these problems is that fuel and added detergents are not hitting the back of the intake valves.
Direct Injection Diagnostics
Keeping pace with the changing technology for Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) can be daunting for any technician. Join this webinar to learn diagnostic strategies for addressing evolving challenges in GDI systems.
Mercedes-Benz Direct Injection
You may think that direct injection is rather new technology, but it might surprise you to hear how long it has been around.
Gasoline Cleans Engines But What Happens When It Can’t?
Modern direct-injection technology is great for fuel efficiency but can’t maximize gasoline’s cleaning properties.
Secondary Air Injection Tips
Secondary air injection was added to vehicles in the late 1960s to combat air pollution after it was discovered that tailpipe emissions were causing smog in major cities like Los Angeles. The first systems were called “smog” systems, and the extra supply of air came from a belt-driven pump that was tagged with the name “smog pump.”
Direct Injection Engine Problems
Gasoline Direct Injection engines go by many names including GDI, DI, FSI and more. Car manufacturers have introduced this engine technology in response to federal emissions and fuel mileage requirements. While these engines offer a lot of upsides as far as fuel economy, horsepower, lower displacement and fewer tailpipe emissions, they also have some downsides.
