I bought 4 "good used 2.0 injectors" from a member on this site last winter. Yesterday I went to test them before installing them and found 1 out of 4 worked. The others are seized tight.
I think I will buy new ones and saw these on EBay.
912 2.0
and these
1.8 or 2.0 ???
or these
AA Pythons
Have any of you bought these and tried them?
Where would you recommend??

Injectors do that sometimes.
Before you get mad...or spendalot of money..
Buy a quart of TEKTRON FI cleaner...nothing else.
Dunk all four injectors for a few days.

How are you testing them? What voltage?

Is there a simple bench-test for injectors ? I have 6 1.8 FI I bought at a swap meet along with a working Fuel Pump.

I am sure someone will jump in the proper voltage, but a 9volt transistor battery works...that lets you hear the click.
Then you need fuel to check and see if they spray and/or leak.

Let me see if I got this right: Hook up the FI directly to the FP, then used a 9volt battery to trigger the FI. Will the FI spray s long as the battery is attached ?

its an electrical coil...or elec magnet.
Apply voltage..it opens or closes...depending.

So, you can open them and blast cleaning fluid through them to fix the spray pattern...again..I am not certain about the voltage...I do know its less than 12VDC and fromwhat I recall 12vdc will harm the injector.

Start with an AA battery...1.5 volts...work your way up one battery at a time.
