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 Injector: Inspection
- INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY
- Measure the resistance between the injector terminals.
Standard resistance:
13.4 to 14.2 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
If the result is not as specified, replace the injector.
- Inspect the injector injection.CAUTION: Keep the injector away from sparks during the test.
- Disconnect the fuel inlet hose (rear fuel pipe) from the fuel main tube.
- Install SST to the fuel main tube.
SST 09268-31011 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41110, 09268-41300, 09268-52011)
- Install the O-ring to the fuel injector.
- Connect SST (adapter and hose) to the injector, and hold the injector and union with SST (clamp).
SST 09268-31011 (90467-13001, 09268-41110, 09268-41300)
- Put the injector into the graduated cylinder.CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector to contain gasoline spray.
- Operate the fuel pump.
- Connect SST (wire) to the injector and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with the graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.
Standard injection volume:
60 to 73 cm 3 (3.7 to 4.5 cu in.) per 15 seconds
Difference between each injector:
13 cm 3 (0.8 cu in.) or less
- Inspect the fuel leakage.
- In the condition above, disconnect the SST (wire) tester probes from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
Standard fuel drop:
1 drop or less per 12 minutes
- In the condition above, disconnect the SST (wire) tester probes from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
- Measure the resistance between the injector terminals.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
