Although today's computerized fuel injection strategies still shoot for the same goals as the ones from years past, how they go about reaching that goal and maintaining fuel control (especially in response to faults) is far different. If you aren't aware, I suggest you pay attention. When coupled with other newer technologies (like turbo/supercharging, Atkinson cycling, VVT/VVL, DoD) the benefits of the GDI fuel injection system are tremendous. The ability to extract the energy output of a big 8-cylinder can now be accomplished with a small 6-cylinder, and similarly from a 6-cylinder to a 4-cyl-inder engine. Moreover, they are far more fuel-efficient and emit far fewer contaminants from the exhaust stream. But that technology comes at a cost to technicians faced with driveability issues. The components used to monitor and control these systems are more complicated and require a slightly more involved analytical skillset. |
