Truck Check Engine Light Twice With Cylinder 8 Misfire

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner reported a cylinder misfire on the truck, which started when the check engine light came on twice. There were no physical symptoms at the time and the owner asked the shop to check and advise.

What we found and did

The technician found cylinder #8 misfiring during the initial assessment, which was done at no charge. A compression test passed, and the next step noted was swapping injectors, with added labor if a failed injector was confirmed. The team started with a BG GDI / Fuel Injection Cleaning (4 part) at our Lake Wales shop and re-tested, which was noted as overdue by 84,239 miles.

Result

After the cleaning, the notes recorded no misfires at that time.

Warning Light On and Engine Running Rough This Morning

What the customer reported

The customer stated that a warning light came on this morning and the vehicle was running rough.

What we found and did

The technician found the throttle body was dirty, and the BG Fuel Injection Service was overdue by 20,163 miles (recommended every 15,000 miles). At our Lake Wales shop, the team started with an initial assessment at no charge, then performed the BG Platinum Fuel Service, which uses specialized tooling on the fuel line to run a specialized cleaner through the system and remove carbon deposits from the fuel injectors, intake valves, piston crowns and combustion chambers. The services performed also included a throttle body or gasket remove and replace and an accelerator pedal and sensor assembly remove and replace. The fuel system was reconnected, checked and test driven.

FAQ

Fuel Injection Cleaning in Lake Wales: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Lake Wales.

How can you tell if my injectors are dirty or failing?

We test rather than guess. Resistance readings show electrical problems, fuel trims show whether the engine is compensating for a delivery issue, and a balance test on vehicles that support it shows which cylinder is short. Dirty injectors respond to cleaning, failing ones do not, and testing is what separates the two.

Is fuel injection cleaning part of routine maintenance?

We do not put it on a fixed schedule for everyone, because most engines running clean fuel do not need it on a timer. It makes sense when symptoms point that way, or on engine designs that are known to accumulate deposits. If yours does not need it, we will say so.

Do the bottles of injector cleaner from the parts store work?

For keeping deposits from building up, a reputable additive can help, and quality detergent gasoline does much of the same work. What they will not do is reverse deposits that are already affecting how the engine runs. Think of them as maintenance rather than repair.

How do I know whether my engine is direct injected?

It depends on your year and engine, and a lot of vehicles from the last decade or so are, including some that use both direct and port injection together. Tell us what you drive and we will look it up. It changes what carbon buildup means for you and what service actually helps.

Will cleaning improve my gas mileage?

If deposits were hurting the spray pattern, you can get back some of what you lost. If your mileage dropped for another reason, cleaning will not touch it, and we would rather find the real cause than sell you a service that misses. That is why the testing comes first.
