fuel injector

Combustion chamber feeder

A fuel injector is a device that sprays fuel into an engine's combustion chamber or intake manifold.

Modern engines use electronic fuel injectors that deliver precise amounts of fuel, replacing older carburetor systems.

The mechanic said a clogged fuel injector was causing the rough idle.
