Genuine BOSCH Pressure Sensor
Part number 0281006164

A fuel pressure sensor in a car is a vital component that measures the pressure of fuel within the fuel system. It is typically placed in the fuel rail or fuel line and provides real-time information to the engine control unit (ECU) or the fuel injection system. The sensor works by using a diaphragm that responds to changes in fuel pressure, which then converts the pressure into an electrical signal. This signal is then sent to the ECU, allowing it to make adjustments to optimize fuel delivery and combustion.

The fuel pressure sensor plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper fuel pressure required for the engine to operate efficiently. By providing accurate feedback to the ECU, it ensures that the fuel system is delivering the correct amount of fuel to the engine at all times. This information is essential for achieving optimal fuel combustion, improving performance, and maximizing fuel efficiency. Additionally, the sensor can also detect any abnormal or inconsistent fuel pressure readings, which can help diagnose potential issues with fuel delivery or fuel system components.
