Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Fuel Injector Coil Test - ECT Temp Between 10-35 Deg C

TEST DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure gauge is complete.

2. The engine coolant temperature affects the ability of the fuel injector tester in order to detect a malfunctioning fuel injector. If the engine coolant temperature is not between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F), go to Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure - Engine Coolant Temperature Outside 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F). Fuel Injector Coil Test - ECT Temp Outside 10-35 Deg C

3. The first second of the voltage displayed by the DMM may be inaccurate due to the initial current surge, therefore, record the lowest voltage displayed by the DMM after the first second of the test. The voltage displayed by the DMM should be within the specified range (refer to the Example). The voltage displayed by the DMM may increase throughout the test as the fuel injector windings warm and the resistance of the fuel injector windings changes. An erratic voltage reading (large fluctuations in voltage that do not stabilize) indicates an intermittent connection within the fuel injector.
