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

did you soak them?
If so, what did you soak them in and for how long?

Did you soak just the tips or did you submerse them completely?

Been soaking in Techtron - fully submersed since yesterday about 5PM - so call it 20 hours. I'm in no major rush, I can let the soak the rest of the week for that matter.

I made sure to shake them to get bubbles out.

Take any of them out, dry them off, hit them with a quick 9V current and nothing.

I've tried banging the sides and sort of trying to shock them up / down sideways, but for fear of breaking something I'm not being too forceful. Like I'll use the butt end of a screwdriver to tap them with... then hook em back up - touch them up to 9V for a spirt - and nothing.

Maybe Jeff can chime in about why when I touch them up to power - by attaching one wire to positive, then taking the other wire and slapping the negative side, all I get is sparks from the slapping - but for sure not clicking the silly solenoid.
