Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuel Delivery: SFI: Injector: Inspection
- INSPECT INJECTOR INJECTION CAUTION: Keep injector clear of sparks during the test.
- Remove the nut, and disconnect the fuel inlet hose from the fuel main tube.
- Temporarily install SST (attachment) to the fuel main tube.
- SST 09268-41047 (09268-52011)
- Tighten the flare nut on the fuel main tube (See SFI SYSTEM ).
- Connect SST (hose) to the SST (attachment).
- SST 09268-41047
- Install the O-ring to the injector.
- Connect SST (hose) to the injector with SST (adapter), and hold the injector and adapter with SST (clamp).
- SST 09268-41047 (09268-41110, 09268-41300)
- Put the injector into the graduated cylinder.CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl hose onto the injector to prevent gasoline from splashing out.
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Connect the battery negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and hand-held tester main switch ON.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.
- Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
- If you have no hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector (See FUEL PUMP ).
- Connect SST (wire) to the injector and battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with a graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

- SST 09842-30070
- Injection volume: 60 - 73 cm 3 (3.7 - 4.5 cu in.) per 15 sec.
- Difference between each injector: 13 cm 3 (0.8 cu in.) or less
If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector.
- INSPECT LEAKAGE
- In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
- SST 09842-30070
- Fuel drop: 1 drop or less per 12 min.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
- Remove the SST.
- SST 09268-41047, 09842-30070
- Reconnect the fuel inlet hose to the fuel main tube (See SFI SYSTEM ).
- Install the fuel inlet hose with the nut.
- Torque: 9 N.m (90 kgf.cm, 80 in.lbf)
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
