1. Have You HAd Your Fuel Injector
Flushed? Here Are 5 Signs
You may be thinking, what in the world is a fuel injector and why does it need to be flushed?
That’s actually a common question that is asked to our Clermont Toyota service techs. We’ll go
over all of the basics with our Toyota of Clermont experts so you’ll know exactly why your fuel
injector is important and why it needs to be maintained. Let’s dive in!
Let’s Figure Out What a Fuel Injector is
A fuel injector is what delivers your vehicle's fuel to the internal combustion engine. Your
Clermont car relies on this to not be clogged by dirt or other possible debri to perform at its best,
giving you a smooth drive.
You may have already guessed why your fuel injector may need to be flushed from time to time.
Your Clermont vehicle needs proper maintenance to clear out any type of debris that could clog
its system. This will help maintain your car’s mileage and help its performance and efficiency.
Our Clermont Toyota experts suggest that this service is performed every 60,000 to 90,000

2. miles. If you’ve never thought about having this service before and your car is over 90,000
miles, we suggest scheduling an appointment at our Toyota of Clermont service center for a
quick and effortless maintenance appointment.
So we talked about five signs that your fuel injector needs to be flushed. Let’s take a deeper
dive into this:
1. Your Engine is continually misfiring
It’s never a good sign when your Clermont Toyota’s engine has a misfire. The fuel injector may
need to have its filter flushed to balance the air and fuel that is entering the engine.
2. Your gas mileage isn’t performing like it used to
Find yourself stopping at the gas station more frequently than usual? This is never a good sign,
especially for your pocket books. Making sure they are clean can help fuel efficiency. Your fuel
injector is what regulates gas, so having a clean one in your Clermont Toyota can benefit the
longevity of gas mileage.
3. You notice your vehicle is rough idling
Shaking or sputtering can be signs that your fuel injector needs a flush. This is because the dirt
and debris can affect the efficiency. We suggest if you are having these symptoms, let the
experts at our Toyota of Clermont service center take a look to see why your car is experiencing
these symptoms.
4. Your car won't start
As we know this can be for a number of reasons, however if you have exhausted the dead
battery aspect, this could be a sign your fuel injectors need to be cleaned. If the ratio of fuel to
air in your engine is off, the motor in your vehicle may not be able to create the combustion ratio
it needs to perform properly. This can be easily fixed in your Toyota with a simple fuel injection
flush.
5. The RPM needle is off
Do you find yourself feeling like you may be accelerating faster or slower than your RPM needle
indicates. This can be due to a dirty fuel injector causing it to move unpredictably.
