Old School Versus New: Will Your Old Diagnostic Strategies Work On New Engines?
If your primary workflow consists of pre-2008 models, terms like “Gasoline Direct Fuel Injection (GDI), Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) and Spark-Controlled Compression Ignition (SpCCI)” might sound like engine technologies lurking somewhere in the distant future. But, given that many import repair shops are just beginning to see these engines for advanced driveability diagnostics, your “distant future” might suddenly become your “here and now” when these futuristic engines show up in your service bays.
GDI System Maintenance: Preventing Misfires & Carbon Buildup On Intake Valves
Although GDI appeared in some post-World War II two-cycle engines and in some high-end performance engines, it didn’t come into its own for passenger car use until around 2008 when high-speed computing and piezoelectric fuel injectors turned GDI into a practical reality.
CRC Industries Launches GDI Service Pack At NAPA AutoCare Centers
Research shows that by 2021, 70 percent of new vehicles in the U.S. – approximately 80 million – will be equipped with GDI engines.
Avoid GDI Performance Loss With New BG GDI Fuel/Air Induction Service
Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines are prone to early carbon buildup. Vehicle owners will notice a drop in power and performance, sometimes before the first oil change. BG introduces the new BG GDI Fuel/Air Induction Service, which will remove carbon from the entire GDI fuel system in under an hour, says the company.
