It is never pleasurable to notice an injector noise on your Mercury Milan. It is a noise that arises continually, usually when you accelerate or your engine is idling. However, this indicator may be linked to multiple types of concerns with your car injectors. It may not be anything severe, but when a repeated noise comes out, you have to be sure. Specifically since fixing your Mercury Milan’s injectors can be costly. That’s why our team chose to prepare this article in order to help you see more clearly, learn about the different possible failures and establish your problem. To do this, we will first look at the normal function and usefulness of the injectors in your Mercury Milan, then at the possible reasons from which an injector noise may come.
Attributes of the injectors
Injectors are a very vital part of the operation of your engine. They were introduced to the modern automobiles about 20 years ago. Before their arrival, more conventional carburettor-type intake systems were employed, which handled the intake of air and fuel into the engine cylinders. With the injectors, manufacturers now have the possibility, thanks to the injectors pump, to control electronically each stage of the intake process very precisely (quantity of fuel injected, air/fuel mixture) via the analysis of the data compiled from the various sensors equipping the car (engine temperature, acceleration level, engine speed, etc.). Their goal is therefore to inject under high pressure a precise quantity of an air/fuel mixture at a perfect timing to get the best possible combustion in the cylinders.
The different origins of a clicking or knocking noise based on the injectors of your Mercury Milan
Experiencing injector noises on your Mercury Milan may result from different locations, we will now center on the potential causes of these. In general, the common noise of a faulty injector is of the snap type. Here are the different sources of these noises and the solutions to be used to prevent them. If you notice another clicking noise but it is not from your injectors, we recommend you to read this article about clicking noise on Mercury Milan to locate the trigger.
The causes for injector clicking or knocking noise Mercury Milan
A clicking or knocking noise from your injectors can be explained for different causes. Indeed, the injectors of your Mercury Milan have three main missions, to manage the vaporisation of the fuel, i.e., to convert the liquid into “gas” during injection, to ease its combustion. Then, its mission is to manage the air/fuel dosage and finally the homogeneity of the mixture, always with the target of improving combustion. If one of these three attributes is modified, the main functionality of the injectors will be disturbed and this will lead to poor combustion. This bad combustion will be a violent explosion in the cylinders resulting from bad timing, or a bad quantity of mixture or finally an inhomogeneous mixture and will induce thoses knocking or clicking noises on your Mercury Milan. The main trigger of these problems generally originates from a particle that gets into the injectors. The precision of the injector being in the nanometer range, any possible blockage will inevitably result in a malfunction of the injector. If after verifying, this noise originates from another element of the engine of your Mercury Milan, have a look at this article for more informations.
The consequences of injector noise on Mercury Milan
Now that we have analyzed the diverse causes for injector noise on your Mercury Milan, we will end by stating the possible side effects of malfunctioning one or more of your injectors. Whether only one is obstructed, or broken, or your entire fuel rail is involved, you cannot escape these consequences which can fairly quickly become serious….
First, you risk destroying your exhaust unit in the long run, because the unburned fuel residues that will end up in your exhaust system can corrode the metal in it.
One of the most basic consequences experienced by drivers is a serious loss of power. Indeed, if your engine is running on 3 out of 4 cylinders for example, you will obviously have a loss of power
Finally, you risk degrading one of your pistons or your engine. Poor combustion will fairly quickly affect your cylinders or pistons and your engine may tighten.
Here are three little suggestions to limit the risks linked to your injectors and protect you from engine failure:
- Do not drive at the bottom of the tank, as you may absorb impurities
- Use quality fuel
- Think of swapping your diesel fuel filter regularly>
