who the hell uses "sinophilic" in a sentence?

Someone with a word-a-day calendar?

Someone with a good education and a desire to take advantage of the bounty of specificity the English language entails...

While you're technically correct, such usage makes one sound pretentious.

You are an idiot if you think a fuel injected engine in more reliable then a carb. With a carb you have just that a carb. With an injected motor not only do you have to worry about an injector going bad but a high volume/pressure fuel pump, o2 sensor, map sensor, maf sensor, egr, tps sensor, computer, OH not just one injector but 4-12 depending on your engine, and a few more i may be missing. Then the fact that if any number of thoes goes out you have to buy a scanner or take it to someone who does to figure out what part died. Almost all prts that will need to be replaced cost a bundle.

With a carb if it dies you know right away. 4 bolts and one or more very easy to get to gas lines need to be removed, and then you buy another one and replace it or if you know what you are doing pay $20 for a rebuild kit. Try that with a fuel injected car 🙂
OH and if a mechanical fuel pump goes bad then you remove 2 lines and 2 bolts and spend $15 at the parts store. How much can one injector cost?? Almost $100 for just one! How about a fuel pump $75+ and then someone to drop your tank and install in. I can keep going on just cost differenences between the two.

Now I ask you which is better. And YES there IS a reason cars went fuel injection. It is so the automakers and parts houses can make more money off you when your stuff breaks. The more crap they load into a car the more chances are something is going to break and you will have to bring it in for servicing. They feed you with lies that it is soo much better when it isnt when you think of all that needs to take place and RE-placed at some point when compaired to a carb car. It was supposed to get better mpg well I ask where did that go. Faster excell off the line, well tell that to a race car driver. Better exhaust emmisions. A properly tuned carb will get just as good as. So there is your reason(s). Because if fuel injection was soooooo great and wonderful why do race cars and dragsters still use carberated engines???? Less crap to fail and why mess with a good thing and go to a bad.

Your post was so full of nonsense that I shouldn't reply to it, but I figured you need to learn.

First of all, they switched to fuel injection for efficiency and emission control purposes. A computer can accurately monitor and control the amount of fuel being fed to the engine.

Also, carbs aren't just "good or bad" like you make it sound. You can have a carb that gets gummed up, and it will work, but not very well.

I work for a service company that contracts with all sorts of manufacturing companies. On one inspection job I performed in Baltimore, an engineer at W.L. Gore told me that the company's goal was to innovate in a market, reap the rewards for a few years and then get out of the market completely. He said this was necessary as assuredly some Chinese manufacturer would reverse engineer the product and undercut their price. He also said that litigation was pointless as these foreign companies were pretty much untouchable behind their government.

Just not fair.
