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

You can hear a click when activated. Seems to me it can be felt too, when the pintle moveds

Jeff, I'm not hearing or feeling anything.

I put two 1.5 volt batteries in line to get to 3 volts. When I apply this power to any injector, the only noise I hear is the spark created when I tap the power source. There is NO clicking in the injector at all.

I've seen videos of injectors being tested, so I'm sure that if I heard one click, I'd realize what it was. Just not happening.

So are the OHM readings meaningful or am I just wasting my time trying to figure the electrical side out?

I can deal with them being "stuck" so to speak, but if they are no good electrically, that's another game.

Thanks,

Len
