Operation Sound Check

Using a stethoscope, check the injectors for a clicking sound at idle. Check that the sound is produced at shorter intervals as the engine speed increases.
NOTE: Ensure that the sound from an adjacent injector is not being transmitted along the delivery pipe to an inoperative injector.
If a stethoscope is not available, check the injector operation with your finger.
If no vibrations are felt, check the wiring connector, injector, or injection signal from ECM.
