For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) service in the Tottenham area, bring your car into A.B. Automotive Services. We provide high quality EFI servicing and can help you sort out many fuel and electronic fuel injector related problems.

An unreliable vehicle, poor fuel consumption, trouble starting the engine and general poor performance all point to the potential need for an EFI service.

An EFI Service is required whenever a car does not seem to be running at its peak efficiency or when you feel it's fuel economy seems to have dropped. Carbon deposits can form on the engine valves, and their reduced performance ability leads to increased fuel consumption.

Fuel additive type cleaners do not effectively fix the problem as they only clean the injectors and don't remove the carbon build which can collect in the more crucial areas of the fuel system. Any benefit you do get from such products is usually marginal and generally short lived.

A good Electronic Fuel Injection service, carried out by qualified mechanics, will ensure that the catalytic converter, the fuel and intake systems, engine valves and combustion chambers are all properly cleaned and in good condition.

A.B. Automotive Services mechanics are Auto-Tech trained and use the right equipment to ensure the best results for your car.

Electronic Fuel Injection Service in Tottenham

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) service in Tottenham

A.B. Automotive Services have the experience, skills and know how to identify, diagnose and solve even complex EFI issues and get your car performing the way it should. So if your fuel economy is not what it should be, or the car is running rough or in "Limp mode" bring it into our Tottenham workshop for an EFI service today.

Electronic Fuel Injection systems (EFI) in modern vehicles consist of a high pressure fuel delivery system controlled by a specialised electronic control unit, or ECU.

As many as thirty or more sensors constantly update the data available to the ECU at any given time. The ECU uses this data to determine the correct mixture of air and fuel the engine requires in order for it to perform most efficiently. This can help reduce fuel costs and minimise exhaust emissions, making regular checks of the EFI system well worth the effort even if there are no apparent problems.

If you are experiencing unusually poor fuel economy or it seems the car is ‘running rough' on idle or has developed a classic backfire, there is a very good chance that there could be a problem with your EFI.

Another classic sign that your EFI may need a service is when the engine runs for a short while after switching off the ignition. An apparent increase in fuel use or noticeable decrease in performance may also be related to an EFI issue.

EFI problems can sometimes be relatively simple, such as contaminated fuel from letting a fuel tank become completely empty or a clogged fuel injector. Sometimes however, the problem lies well hidden, deep within the highly sophisticated EFI System. Our Tottenham car service workshop is equipped with the specialised, advanced diagnostic testing equipment needed to be able to diagnose, service and repair your EFI.

Regular servicing or inspection of your Electronic Fuel Injection System will help your car perform more efficiently and save you money at the pump. That's real peace of mind. Given the complex nature of modern fuel injection systems, a qualified mechanic with specialised diagnostic equipment is best placed to service or repair your EFI.

How A.B. Automotive Services diagnose & fix EFI problems

A.B. Automotive Services use special computer diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU. The ECU is essentially a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out special fault codes which our diagnostic scan equipment is then able to extract and interpret. 

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. 

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly 

Any leaks must be identified and repaired without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components. It goes without saying you don't want fuel leaking out either! 

Over time, fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned and on occasion replaced. Where necessary, some components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. 

Sensors (or the lines connecting them to the ECU) which are faulty or damaged may need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle. Your engine's ECU may prevent running of the vehicle until they are functioning correctly or it may trigger the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'

When your car's electronic control unit (ECU) encounters data which is incorrect (or outside of known value ranges) or cannot process, it will set a fault code and initiate some form of warning. When such problems occur in major vehicle systems it can trigger what is known as 'limp mode'. As the fuel system of a car is considered a major system, faulty or failing sensors or lines may trigger this safety function.

Limp mode is designed to allow you to get a car to a safe location (off the road) and can protect both you and the car from serious problems that could arise from continued 'normal' operation of the vehicle. If you find your car enters, limp mode you should pull over immediately and get it checked over by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible, even if the computer 'resets' itself. Cars can act quite erratically in limp mode.

A.B. Automotive Services can help diagnose any potentially EFI related problems.

Its not compulsory to have your car serviced at a dealership to maintain your new car warranty.

Over the years a considerable amount of potentially misleading information about new car warranties has been released by various sources, leading to much confusion concerning new car warranties.

This confusion is often caused by the new vehicle dealerships themselves. Although rarely provided in writing, many of these dealerships may try to convince you that a new vehicle must be serviced within the dealership or the new car warranty is void.

The ACCC have recently moved to stop this misleading activity.

A.B. Automotive Services are fully qualified to perform expert car servicing that protects your right to a warranty on your new vehicle.

Our 65 point vehicle inspection means we will also be checking for warning signs in many components of your vehicle which could be covered under your warranty - allowing you to address these faults while the vehicle is under warranty.

Auto Electrical servicing is vital to ensure a modern car runs efficiently and safely and is best carried out by a qualified professional!

Modern cars have more electrical components in them than ever before and the list just seems to keep growing.

Gone are the days when a starter motor and a simple radio were the only electrical systems necessary for cars. Today's cars have many more components that require the electrical system to function. This includes a range of modern safety systems and controls, as well as electronic devices such as navigation systems and various entertainment devices.

A.B. Automotive Services provide expert Auto Electrical Service in Tottenham

A.B. Automotive Services will inspect and test your electrical system to identify anything that is or could be causing you problems.

Our auto electrical services include testing, servicing, refitting and repairing a whole range of electrical components fitted to different types of vehicles including:

What parts of the auto electrical system require maintenance?

Battery - The battery provides the power required to start the engine 

Alternator - Maintains the charge level in the battery while the car is moving 

Starter motor - uses power from the battery to start the engine 

Solenoid -administers power from the battery to the starter motor 

Voltage Regulator - Ensure the correct voltage level in the system 

Fuse Panel - Provides protection for electrical components in the car 

Connectors and Wires - connect the electrical system and close circuits 

The major components of a modern car's auto electrical system are inherently interconnected and when one fails it will usually affect at least some (if not all) of the other components in the system, often making it difficult to determine exactly what the problem is.

 A.B. Automotive Services can conduct tests that allow us to quickly determine where the problem is and fix it with minimal hassle and inconvenience to you. That's real peace of mind.

What are the most common problems auto electrical systems can have?

Alternator belt - The alternator recharges your battery by harnessing the power generated by the engine by means of a belt and transferring it to the battery. If the belt breaks, loses tension or comes loose the alternator will no longer be able to maintain the charge in the battery 

Broken or loose wiring - Electrical current requires a closed circuit to be conducted and the wiring system of your car connects the various electrical systems and provides the circuit. If an important wire comes loose, breaks, wears out or melts you could have a problem using your electrical components or even starting your car. This can be a difficult problem to diagnose.

A flat battery - Flat batteries are a common problem and may not be cause for alarm. Accidentally leaving lights or other electrical items on without the engine running is often the cause. Once you have the car going the alternator should once again maintain a good charge. However, if, after driving or running the engine for a while, the battery goes flat again it means you have a problem elsewhere. The battery itself may need replacing, the alternator could be faulty, the voltage regulator may have a problem or it could even be a combination of these things.

Normal wear and tear - All of your cars parts are susceptible to wear and tear in some form or another. The car's battery, solenoid and voltage regulator are auto electrical parts known to cause problems due to normal wear and tear.

Blown fuses - Fuses in your car are a safety feature designed to protect your electrical components from surges and overloads. While this can happen occasionally, if it happens too often you should get your car's auto electrical system checked by a qualified professional.

Car will not start despite having a good battery - The solenoid may not be working correctly and is not allowing a sufficient charge to start the car. The solenoid is a coil of wire around two magnets that administers higher voltage than normal from the battery to the starter motor.
