Welcome to Part 3 of our comprehensive guide on troubleshooting engine issues in K-Jetronic fuel injection systems. In this section, we will discuss common problems and their solutions in detail.

K-Jetronic Fuel Injection System

The K-Jetronic fuel injection system, also known as Continuous Injection System (CIS), is a mechanical fuel injection system used in various gasoline-powered vehicles. It was developed by Bosch and has been widely used since the 1970s.

Diagnosing Engine Problems

When your engine starts experiencing issues, it's essential to identify the root cause accurately. Here are some common symptoms and corresponding problems associated with K-Jetronic fuel injection systems:

Lack of Power

If your engine lacks power, it could be due to various reasons. Possible causes include a clogged fuel injector, a faulty fuel pressure regulator, or a malfunctioning air flow sensor. Our expert technicians at Grafco Electric can help diagnose and fix these issues promptly.

Rough Idle

A rough idle can be frustrating and may indicate issues with the fuel mixture or ignition system. Potential culprits include a dirty air filter, worn spark plugs, or an oxygen sensor malfunction. Our team can perform comprehensive inspections and recommend appropriate solutions.

Engine Stalling

If your engine stalls unexpectedly, it might be caused by a faulty fuel pump, a malfunctioning idle control valve, or a clogged fuel filter. Professional assistance is crucial to identify the faulty component and rectify the issue.

Difficult Starting

Having difficulties starting your engine can be frustrating and inconvenient. Potential causes include a weak fuel pump, a faulty cold start valve, or issues with the ignition system. Our skilled technicians can diagnose the problem accurately and provide effective solutions.

Fixing Common Problems

Now that we have discussed some common symptoms, let's explore the solutions for these issues:

Cleaning Fuel Injectors

Over time, fuel injectors can accumulate dirt and debris, affecting their performance. We recommend periodic cleaning to maintain optimal fuel delivery. Our team uses specialized equipment to clean and restore your fuel injectors.
