What is an electronic fuel injection system?

In an internal combustion engine, an EFI is the system for mixing fuel and air. For the last few decades, EFI has gradually replaced carburettors to become the most typical system used for fuel delivery in fuel based engines.

In an EFI, a fuel pump pushes the fuel coming from a tank into different injectors creating sufficient pressure for the injectors to deliver accurate amount of fuel. Pump pressure and fuel volume flowing through must meet vehicle manufacturer standards. Failing to meet requirements, the engine performance and economy could be reduced, at the same increasing fuel consumption and emissions.

When inspecting and servicing EFI systems, electric fuel pumps are the primary concern area. Regular wear and tear under normal operating conditions will cause fuel pumps to fail over time. If rust or other type of dirt settle on inlets past filters or contaminate the pump, the repairs will be needed much sooner. This is why it is crucial to inspect your car at scheduled intervals and keep up with servicing your vehicle.

Throttle Body Injection and Port Injection are the two major types of fuel injection are used in modern gasoline engines. Both operate by the same principles, yet look very different. 

Port Injection System sends fuel directly into individual cylinders. Various sensors are located throughout the engine compartment to detect airflow, vacuum, temperature and exhaust. 

Throttle Body Systems have two injectors inside an aluminium housing, mounted to the intake manifold. Nearly all required sensors are located in the same aluminum housing.

The major difference between both systems is price and performance. The far superior port injection systems are also considerably more expensive as the individual sensors must be manufactured separately so that each component can be mounted independently. With each cylinder receiving fuel individually, the computer can control fuel consumption and power much more efficiently. Throttle body systems are cheaper to manufacture, however offer lower performance.

Electronic fuel injection system components

The key to an efficient electronic fuel injection system is the computer. All electronic fuel injection systems utilise a computer to receive information from sensors and, based on information received, send necessary voltage to fuel injectors. Various manufacturers have different names for the electronic fuel injection computer:

Brain Box (typically used in used parts industry)

European and Luxury Car Service in Taree

Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Griffo's Automotive, your trusted local mechanic in Taree, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Griffo's Automotive, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Taree, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.  

Did you know? Upgraded differential bushings, like Nolathane, not only improve durability but can also enhance handling and stability during cornering or heavy towing—offering additional benefits for your vehicle.

If clunking has become a regular part of your Territory or Falcon experience, don’t wait—get in touch with the team at Griffo's Automotive today.

Diagnose and repair differential bushing issues at Griffo's Automotive. Enhance performance, reduce noise, and improve handling with durable Nolathane upgrades. Book your service today!

Smooth Out Clunking in Your Territory or Falcon

At Griffo's Automotive in Taree, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Griffo's Automotive, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Griffo's Automotive. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!
