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

Yeah, the shop just called.

Two ultrasonic baths and they can't get them to pulse either. They are going to bathe them overnight and see what the deal is tomorrow.

Assuming they were cleaned six months ago (really), I think just keeping them in a baggie with other parts and without screens, well you fill in the blanks.

From what I've learned (thanks to all your replies and insights), it is SOP for any cleaning service to put new screens on after cleaning. No clue why the screens were missing from these, or why they were just tossed in a baggie with other parts.

My first FI car... and so far it has been a real education. I think once I get over this and get that FI running, I'm gonna never go back to carbs. Just wish I had a better hand dealt to me (as far as the FI system goes). Oh well, its all fixable.
