IMPORTANT:
  • You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  • A fuel injector leak into the combustion chamber may result in mechanical damage to the cylinder. If any fuel spray comes out of a glow plug hole during the compression test, replace the fuel injector of the affected cylinder.
  • If fuel vapor is emitted during the engine compression test, replace the affected fuel injector and inspect for fuel contamination. refer to Contaminants-in-Fuel DiagnosisΒ .

Perform the engine compression test. Refer to Engine Compression Test .

  • If the compression indicated any of the cylinders had low compression, refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical .
  • IMPORTANT:
    • Failure to correctly identify the cylinder positions may result in the replacement of the wrong injector.
    • During replacement of the injectors, inspect the inlet and outlet fittings for corrosion or contamination. Refer to Contaminants-in-Fuel DiagnosisΒ .
  • If the engine did not have low compression on any of the cylinders, replace the fuel injectors on the cylinders that had low cylinder power contribution, high balance rates, or a noise/smoke change during cancellation.
