So we commence our content by quickly explaining how an injection system functions so that you have all the info you need to understand the failure associated with it. < br>
The injection system of a Tesla Model S controls the fuel intake into the engine , it replaces the old carburettors. It has the advantage to be much more precise and to come, under pressure, to release the fuel in the engine. The injection pump takes care of pressurizing the fuel and transferring it to the injectors, and the injectors will relieve the fuel in the form of micro-drops into the cylinders of your Tesla Model S. The advantage of fuel injection is to have a much more precise dosage than a carburettor and to enable a better air/fuel mixture and consequently a better combustion.

What are the different injection problems on Tesla Model S?

Now in this second component, we are going to explore the different injection problems and their manifestations that you may possibly confront on your Tesla Model S .

Injection pump problems Tesla Model S
