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

All a professional will do is soak them.
If they won't budge, he will make you buy new ones.


The unit is an electro magnet....so when the inner piston shaped magnet stays in the same position and does not move, it create a huge draw on the circuit, then you get a spark
Once it moves, the spark will stop or get a whole lot smaller.


While you wait, you could go to RadioShack and get two small spade bits to make a pig tail that will stay on while you smack them.
Get the transistor battery plug end also.

I use an AA battery cause I really don't keep transisitor batteries around anymore and I believe it may be too much voltage for the injector.
