Injector Click Test (outside of motor) Options

[lsintampa]

OK,

I hooked up a pig-tail to this injector. Then I got a 9V battery and tapped the pig-tail numerous times.

I never hear the injector click - and I'm assuming that it should.

The pig-tail does spark though - as if there is a short - which seems odd.

So, what is that telling me?

BTW - PO has said that all the injectors were cleaned and tested and all tested and sprayed well. They were however sitting in a baggy for three months. I can't imagine that they just went south????

All four injectors and the cold start valve all behave the same way.

Thanks,

Len

Soaked overnight - no change.

I spoke with the PO again about the injectors.

They were pulled out of a car that sat for years and sent for testing / cleaning. The shop did say they needed some work, but they got them cleaned up and spraying well.

That was about six months ago. Since that time they sat in a plastic baggie until I put them into the car.

I didn't think I needed to test them, as I knew they were supposed to be fine.

Anyway, they don't click, the pintle doesn't move, I can't move anything through them at all under pressure - in or out. (not sure if that can even be done anyway?)

I can keep soaking them, but they have been soaking for over 12 hours now.

It is sort of hard for me to believe they were OK and now are not OK, even for sitting for a while. I would think that the Textron bathing would have freed at least ONE of them up.

Very frustrating.
