Gasoline Direct Injection: Total System Diagnostics

Air Date: October 19, 2022

Sponsored By Carter Fuel Systems

Modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines have two fuel pump opportunities. You still have an electric pump in the tank, but a high-pressure fuel pump is on the engine. These two pumps work in unison, so the correct quantity of fuel is injected directly into the cylinder. If either pump can’t generate the pressure or volume commanded by the engine management system, it will cause driveability issues. In a 45-minute webinar, the experts from Carter Engineered Fuel Pumps will train you on how to diagnose the entire fuel system of a GDI vehicle.

Topics to be Covered:

Electric fuel pump voltage drop testing
Measuring pulse-width signals with scopes, meters and scan tools
Pressure testing for the high- and low-sides of the fuel system
Using scan tool data to evaluate the health of the pumps and injectors
High-pressure fuel pump visual inspection
Diagnosing fuel-related stumbles and hesitation complaints
Common DTCs caused by a compromised low- or high-pressure fuel pump
Curing fuel pump contamination issues
Ethanol and GDI systems

Ford 2018-2019 F-150 With the 5.0L Engine

Some vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine built on or before February 12, 2019, may exhibit a metallic grinding or rattling sound coming from the transmission bellhousing area under various operating conditions. This may be due to the torque converter studs contacting the engine/transmission spacer plate.

To correct the condition, replace the engine to transmission spacer plate with an updated engine/transmission spacer plate that includes a bend for additional clearance.
