Modern carbon removal

摘要

The modern internal combustion engine has changed dramatically over the years. The fuels and lubricating oils we use today are a far cry from years past. Additionally, these new modem engines are equipped with Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI). These changes have created an engine that rapidly builds carbon deposits within the induction system. These carbon deposits create performance and drivability issues, and can set DTCs in the engine control module. The first DTCs that come to mind would be engine misfires, however, some of the DTCs that may set might surprise you. Would you think carbon deposits would cause a MAF sensor range or performance DTC? This is just one of many DTCs you may not associate with carbon deposits. Almost all newer vehicles are now equipped with GDI systems so no manufacture is exempt from these heavy GDI performance robbing carbon deposits.
