Reliable Fuel System & Ignition Services at Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires

Your vehicle’s fuel and ignition systems are the heart of its performance. When either system starts to fail, you’ll notice quickly reduced power, rough starts, poor fuel economy, or stalling. At Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires in Reno, we specialize in inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing both fuel and ignition systems to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

How Does My Vehicle's Fuel System Work?

The fuel system in your car is designed to supply the right amount of fuel to your engine, precisely when it’s needed. This complex system includes the fuel tank, fuel filter, pump, fuel lines, and either fuel injectors or a carburetor, depending on the age and type of your vehicle.

Over time, these components can collect grime, sediment, and residue that hinder performance. That’s why regular inspections and cleaning at Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires in Reno are essential for longevity and efficiency. Since 1922, we’ve been helping drivers maintain clean, high-functioning fuel systems.

Many modern vehicles, including Acura, Audi, BMW, and Buick, even use multiple fuel pumps and tanks to ensure consistent fuel delivery on sharp turns, inclines, or under heavy loads.

At the center of the system is your fuel injector, an electronically controlled valve that meters fuel into the engine with incredible precision. Fuel travels from the pump, through the fuel lines, and into the combustion chamber via injectors that open for milliseconds at a time, ensuring just the right fuel-to-air ratio for optimal combustion.

How Does Fuel Injection Work?

At Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires in Reno, we’re well-versed in the mechanics of fuel injection. Your engine runs best when there’s a perfect balance of fuel and air. The fuel injector, controlled by your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU), is a vital part of that balance.

Here’s what happens in a fraction of a second:

  • An electromagnet inside the injector moves a plunger

  • The valve opens, spraying pressurized fuel

  • The nozzle atomizes the fuel into a fine mist

  • Combustion occurs cleanly and efficiently

When even one injector isn’t functioning properly, it can throw off your engine’s performance and fuel economy. That’s why accurate diagnostics and service from trained technicians are so important.

How Does the Ignition System Work?

Your car doesn’t move without spark, and that’s where the ignition system comes in. This system transforms battery power into an electric spark that ignites your engine’s fuel and air mixture.

Here’s how it works:

  • The ignition coil amplifies battery voltage

  • The distributor (in older systems) routes this energy to the correct spark plug

  • The spark plug creates a blue-hot spark that ignites the mixture

In modern vehicles, the ECU often controls ignition timing electronically, but the principles remain the same. If you’re noticing rough idling, poor starts, or backfiring, your ignition system could be to blame. We’re here to help at Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires in Washoe County.
