Why Is My Car Running Rough with a Warning Light On?

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner noticed that a warning light appeared on the dashboard and the car was running rough.

What we found and did

The technician discovered that the throttle body was dirty and the fuel injection service was overdue by 20,163 miles. The team performed a BG Platinum Fuel Service, which involved using specialized tooling to clean the fuel injectors, intake valves, piston crowns, and combustion chambers. They also cleaned and serviced the throttle body and replaced the accelerator pedal and sensor assembly.

Result

After the service, the vehicle's drivability, performance, and fuel economy were restored.

Pro Tip

If a warning light appears and your vehicle runs rough, it may be time for a fuel injection service. Keeping up with this maintenance every 15,000 miles can prevent drivability issues and improve fuel efficiency.

What Caused the Dirty Throttle Body?

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner requested a maintenance check and a general inspection, noting that the spark plugs had already been replaced.

They also conducted a BG Brake Fluid Service to replace the contaminated fluid, ensuring the brake system was functioning properly. Additionally, a complete coolant system flush was carried out to address the acidic coolant.

The vehicle's performance was restored, with improved fuel efficiency and braking reliability.

Pro Tip

A dirty throttle body can reduce engine performance and fuel efficiency. Consider a fuel system cleaning every 15,000 miles to maintain optimal engine health.

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.
