Yes, Ford Escapes have fuel injectors. Fuel injectors are an essential component of the fuel delivery system in a vehicle. They deliver precise amounts of fuel to the engine during each cycle to ensure a consistent supply and optimal performance. If the fuel injectors become blocked or malfunction, it can lead to engine performance issues and potentially major engine failure.

How does a car act when the fuel injector is going out?
Engine Misfiring
Slower acceleration or shaking during acceleration suggest that an engine is misfiring. The engine may also hesitate or briefly lose power. The engine may run unevenly and vibrate more than usual at idle. Misfires can happen when an engine is cold or warm, and they can happen infrequently.
Does every engine have fuel injectors?
In its early days fuel injection was expensive and associated with premium vehicles but now every car has fuel injection. It’s generally reliable but it still pays to know how the system works, where it is and how to tell when it’s playing up.
What is the problem with the fuel injectors on the Ford Escape?
There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our customers, which is why Ford is issuing a safety recall on some 2021, 2022 and 2023 Bronco Sport and 2020, 2021 and 2022 Escape models. There is a chance the fuel injector can crack, which may lead to an underhood fire.
How much does it cost to replace fuel injectors on a 2017 Ford Escape?
The average cost for Ford Escape Fuel Injector Replacement is $335.
Will bad fuel injectors throw a code?
The most common fault codes associated with a clogged fuel injector are P0171 and P0174, which indicates the engine controller is seeing a lean condition. It is also possible to see fault codes for a rich condition if the injector is leaking or not atomizing correctly.
Can I drive with a bad fuel injector?
While fuel injector problems usually give warning, driving your vehicle for a long time with a clogged or faulty fuel injector can cause problems. At Rislone, we always advise customers to closely monitor how their engine is performing as a guide to determine if something might be wrong with their fuel system.
How many fuel injectors does a 2017 Ford Escape have?
Quantity per car: 4.
Do I need to replace all fuel injectors?
Consider replacing just one.
Ask your mechanic about replacing only one fuel injector. This will save you money in the short run. But in the long term, you’ll likely pay more in labor since your mechanic will need to spend time accessing the engine for each replacement, instead of only once.
How do I know if my fuel injectors have gone?
Your car may sputter or shake, mostly during traffic stops. The engine idling is mainly due to inconsistent revolutions per minute (RPMs). A sudden decrease in fuel supply, especially during uphill climbing, may accompany rough idling. Sometimes, you may have to restart the car due to insufficient fuel supply.
What cars have fuel injectors?
All compression-ignition engines (e.g. diesel engines), and many spark-ignition engines (i.e. petrol (gasoline) engines, such as Otto or Wankel), use fuel injection of one kind or another.
