They are typically opened by an electric solenoid or by a vacuum produced by the engine's intake manifold, and they may be closed either mechanically or electronically. Importance of Fuel Injector Fuel injectors are very important as they will save you a lot of money and ensure the smooth operation of your vehicle at all times. If they are not functioning correctly and are clogged, the machine will not be able to produce enough power, which will lead to a number of problems.
