fuel injectors

Combustion chamber feeders

Fuel injectors are devices that spray precisely metered amounts of fuel into an engine's combustion chambers or intake manifold.

They replaced carburetors in most vehicles by the 1990s, offering better fuel efficiency and emissions control.

When fuel injectors get clogged or fail, the engine runs rough or loses power: The mechanic said my fuel injectors need cleaning.
