There are only four things that can make an engine run badly. One is a mechanical problem that is preventing the engine from sealing the combustion chamber or pressurizing the air/fuel charge. The second is an inability to breathe - a problem with volumetric efficiency. The third is ignition; that is, the ability of the ignition system to deliver a good, strong spark consistently and at the right time. And last, but certainly not least, is fuel. Let's first define what I mean by fuel. This covers everything from the fuel pump to the tip of the injectors and every component related to their proper operation. Critical is the ability of the fuel system to deliver the right quantity of fuel at the right time and in the proper configuration - or spray pattern. And this can be one of the most challenging performance components to narrow down. |
