FUEL INJECTOR BALANCE TEST WITH SPECIAL TOOL

DESCRIPTION

Fuel Injector Balance Test With Special Tool:

Fuel Injector Balance Test Example (Typical):

The scan tool is first used to energize the fuel pump. The fuel injector tester is then used to pulse each injector for a precise amount of time, allowing a measured amount of fuel into the manifold. This causes a drop in system fuel pressure that can be recorded and used to compare each injector.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Step 1 - Step 5:

Step 6 - Step 8:

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
6. If the pressure drop value for each fuel injector is within 10 kPa (1.5 psi) of the average pressure drop value, the fuel injectors are flowing properly. Calculate the pressure drop value for each fuel injector by subtracting the second pressure reading from the first pressure reading. Refer to the illustration.
