I was under the impression that having a fuel injected motor increases reliability and economy, this isnt accurate?



EFI is more reliable because there are very few moving parts, but you can still clog up the fuel system if you don't have the proper filters, and a clogged filter can quickly allow the fuel pump to burn up. The electronics are really very reliable in all systems. And with engine parameters handled in the software you can get better drivability and better economy. These are the main reasons all OEMS now use EFI even though it costs more.
