The fuel injector reliability detection method comprises the following steps: calculating fuel injection amount of the fuel injector according to ECU; starting a liquid level sensor to detect fuel remaining volume when the fuel injection amount is equal to a fuel consumption calibration value; calculating fuel actual consumption volume according to a difference between the fuel total volume stored in the EEPROM and the fuel remaining volume detected by the liquid level sensor; and comparing the fuel actual consumption volume with the fuel consumption calibration value to determine whether the fuel injector is blocked or worn. The fuel injector reliability detection method and the detection device can effectively detect whether the fuel injector works normally, thereby reminding relevant personnel to maintain or replace the fuel injector in time, and improving the power, economy and safety of the vehicle.
