Services Include:

Fuel Injection

Benefits of fuel injection include smoother and more consistent transient throttle response, such as during quick throttle transitions, easier cold starting, more accurate adjustment to account for extremes of ambient temperatures and changes in air pressure, more stable idling, decreased maintenance needs, and better fuel efficiency.

Fuel injection also dispenses with the need for a separate mechanical choke, which on carburetor-equipped vehicles must be adjusted as the engine warms up to normal temperature. Furthermore, on spark ignition engines, (direct) fuel injection has the advantage of being able to facilitate stratified combustion which have not been possible with carburetors.

It is only with the advent of multi-point fuel injection that certain engine configurations such as inline five cylinder gasoline engines have become more feasible for mass production, as traditional carburetor arrangement with single or twin carburetors could not provide even fuel distribution between cylinders, unless a more complicated individual carburetor per cylinder is used.

Ignition

An ignition system generates a spark or heats an electrode to a high temperature to ignite a fuel-air mixture in spark ignition internal combustion engines.  The widest application for spark ignition internal combustion engines is in petrol road vehicles.  For all your ignition system maintenance and replacement needs, call or visit Loyola Service today.

Spark Plugs

A device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within.  For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 847-729-8740 or visit Loyola Service today.

Oil, Lube, and Filter

To keep your car running smooth, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes dirty and needs to be replaced. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every 3 months or 3,000 miles on synthetic blend and every 5 months or 5,000 miles on full synthetic. When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to Loyola Service in Glenview.

Check Engine Light

Not all check engine lights mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, muffler, or it could be something minor. At Loyola Service, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 847-729-8740 or stop by the shop for assistance.
