Every new car sold in the United States today uses fuel injection, but not all fuel injection systems are the same. Some cars use port injection, while others use direct injection. Some even use both.

Gasoline direct injection (DI) engines have been lurking in the shadows of gasoline-burning, internal combustion engine development for decades but are now becoming mainstream. This is all good, as DI ...

The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...

Gasoline direct injection, or GDI, is one of the most crucial bits of technology in the modern internal combustion engine. In engines equipped with GDI, highly pressurized gasoline is sprayed directly ...

The other day I dropped my car off at a European specialist shop, and while I was there, a technician was working in the engine bay of a Mk7 Golf R, cleaning out carbon deposits off the intake valves.

While port injection is still the most common form of electronic fuel injection, gasoline direct injection is quickly starting to replace it since it provides better fuel atomization, decreased ...

The 5.3-liter V8 Ecotec3 might seem like the stepchild of the General Motors family, especially with the LS series of engines around, but it's a winner in its own right. This naturally aspirated ...
