  2. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION 

    Check operation sound from each injector.

    1. With the engine running or cranking, use a sound scope to check that there is normal operating noise in proportion to engine speed.
    2. If you have no sound scope, you can check the injector operating vibration with your finger.

    If no sound or unusual sound is heard, check the wiring connector, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
