Fuel Injectors: Notes
- Using a mechanic's stethoscope, listen to each injector for normal "clicking" operating noise at idle and under acceleration. To check secondary injectors, disconnect vacuum hose from boost sensor. Start engine and slowly increase speed. Using a mechanic's stethoscope, check that secondary injectors start clicking at 3500 RPM.
- If clicking noise is not heard, check the crank angle sensor resistance. Using an ohmmeter, check between the terminals on the crank angle sensor connector. Resistance should be 110-210 ohms between terminals "G1" and "G2" or terminals "Ne1" and "Ne2". See Fig 1 .
- Check continuity of the wire from crank angle sensor to electronic control unit. If continuity is correct, check resistance of the solenoid resistor.
- Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals "FP" and "B" of the solenoid resistor. See Fig 4 . Resistance should be 5-7 ohms. If not, replace solenoid resistor.
