I know most have heard this question and most probably think its just getting redundent, but i really dont know and considering this is my first fuel injected vehical i dont know much about the topic. What's better to have a fuel injected motor for the 1994 F150 or should i work on getting the good old carburater on the 5.8L. Like i said its my first Fuel injection and i just got the Ford. this truck needs a few tune ups especially in the motor, with injecters and air flow valves and some other stuff i dont know about. If its best to keep the fuel injection im all for learning more and applying high performance parts if need be im just not sure if thats the best route. any advice or suggestions on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ya'll

Yes, it is getting a tad annoying hearing this question over and over. It's like asking "What's better, a Model T or Mustang?". "What's better, telegraph or cell phone?". Technology advances to make things better.

Fuel injection.

carabrator for sure it is better for primeing....LOL get a a fuel INJECTION and enjoy.

Good old Bill

Guess its unanomous, if you are willing learn as was stated, the injection with its mind boggling gismos involved will deliver the performance and economy that carburation just can't do. Nascar has those guys running carbs because of the control of the sport. When it goes to injection, we will see 4 cylinders running the tracks at the same speeds. Stay with it and learn it, wish it came along 20 years earlier.
We had it on aircraft back in early 60's, as I recall, but that was a completely different direct flow system, not controlled electrically, but by a highly developed fuel control unit.

Thanks Ya'll .......... Injection it is

Yep, fuel injection provides for more accurate control of the fuel/air mixture to help with economy and emissions, but in truth is hardly superior to a carb when power is the objective; in some instances fuel injection may be inferior depending upon the strategy mapped into the computer.

The four-cylinder engine with fuel injection outrunning the NASCAR V8 with a carb is wishfull thinking, unless the four banger is of the same displacement as the V8 or is revving about 20,000rpm.....maybe possible with Coates rotary-valve heads.

For absolute simplicity and reliability a carb has it all over fuel injection; however, the fuel injection systems from about '90 are very well developed and quite reliable.....but I'd still like a carb if I'm prowling the African wilderness in an Overland.....but if I were in that wilderness, I wouldn't be running a gasoline-powered vehicle anyway; I'd be running the most simple and reliable diesel I could find.

Think about how long vehicles lasted before the wave of fuel injection came about. Fuel injected vehicles will last you many more miles and with less maintance and problems.

Fuel injection came along with advances in computer technology, improved electronic parts reliability and the necessity to comply with emission regulations. Engine longevity may owe some of its increase to fuel injection, but the major players are improved engine design and vast improvements in the quality and performance of lubricants.

In the early days of fuel injection the systems were plagued with reliability problems and very few could outperform a carb particularly when Weber carbs were on the scene.

Weber carbs? Then you must be speaking of mechanical fuel injection, no comparison to electronic fuel injection.

Look man, im just stating that the fuel injected motors of today are more reliable than the older carbuerated motors of yesterday. Isnt that what i said? Yep, thats what is said. I didnt specify that the fuel injected components were due to the motors longivity i just said that fuel injected motors are more reliable. Am i wrong? Nope.
