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.
Injectors Quick Check
Start engine. Listen to each injector separately with a screwdriver. Obvious clicking sounds will be heard if valve functions. If clicking sound not heard: measure injector resistance. Resistance should be approximately 16 ohms. If clicking sound is heard, but engine runs thoroughly, remove injector connector. If engine speed decreases injector is OK.
Injectors are removed/installed complete w/injection manifold.
Check injector O-rings and replace if required. Lubricate O-rings w/vaseline.
