STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 Start the engine and warm it up until normal operating temperature.
Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2.
Select the INJ#1, INJ#2, INJ#3, and INJ#4 PIDs.
Turn the fuel injector from on to off using the PIDs for each cylinder.
Does the engine speed drop?		 Yes Fuel injector work properly
No Engine speed does not drop an any cylinder:
