Hard to start, stalling or losing power under load? Fuel delivery faults are often behind it. We test fuel pressure and injectors on the spot and replace the failed part — pump, filter or injector.

About this service
Fuel, delivered in exactly the right amount
Modern engines need fuel at a precise pressure and spray pattern. A weak pump, blocked filter or sticking injector upsets that balance, causing rough running, poor economy and eventually a car that won’t start.
We use a fuel pressure gauge and diagnostic scanner to see what the engine is actually getting, so we replace the right component the first time.

Signs of a fuel fault
Stutter under acceleration
Not enough fuel when demand rises.
Fuel smell
A leak at an injector, line or seal — get it checked promptly.
Worse fuel economy
Leaking or dirty injectors waste fuel.

FAQ
Fuel System questions
What are the signs of a failing fuel pump?
Long cranking before starting, sputtering at highway speed, loss of power under load and a car that cuts out when warm are all common signs.
Can a fuel pump be replaced at home?
On many cars, yes — through an access panel under the rear seat. Cars that need the tank lowered are done at our workshop.
Do injector cleaners work?
They can help with mild deposits, but they won’t fix an injector that is leaking or electrically faulty. We test before recommending anything.
