Current to the fuel injector is controlled by the vehicle's engine management system.
Connection to the injector is made by means of a signal wire from the fuel injector to the engine
management system and is secured to the fuel injector by means of a fuel injector connector. These injector connectors are also referred to as
injector clips, injector pigtails or injector wires.
Conditions around the engine such
as vibration, high temperature, oil, chemicals and corrosive fumes cause the fuel injector connectors to
become brittle and eventually either become loose or break. The pins inside the injector connector become
corroded and loose their ability to make proper contact. Once this happens the fuel injector does not receive a proper signal from the engine management
system and the fuel injector starts to misfire or in some cases does not fire at all.
Except for the visual appearance of cracks in the
injector connector, problems such as rough idle,
misfires, bad fuel consumption, lack of power, sluggish acceleration and
stumbling during cruise can also be contributed to a bad fuel injector connector.
Problems with a bad fuel injector connector too often go undiagnosed and can sometimes cost thousands of dollars of unnecessary
repairs before the real source of the problem is identified. Don’t let it happen too you.
Replacing bad fuel injector connectors is easy and
inexpensive and can be done with basic tools.
