I've found computer-controlled electronic fuel injection much more reliable than carburetors. And OBDII is very handy for diagnosing mechanical problems, even with the manufacturer idiosyncrasies.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoI sense some rose colored glasses. Cars are so much more reliable than they were even 25 years ago. Reliable and longer lasting. My first car broke down if you looked at it wrong. My current car does not have that problem even though it is just as old/has just as many miles on it than my first car did at the time. Breaking down on the side of the road used to be a common part of my life, now it hasn't happened to me in the last 8 years.
- vlehto 10y agoThe reason for that increased reliability is probably because of pump pressure, not controls. Direct injection has several hundred bar working pressure and a separate filter can be used because of such pressure. Traditional float controlled carburetor probably doesn't work because there is some foreign object stuck in the duct. You cant use heavy filtering because the pressures are almost atmospheric.
