Fuel Injector: Inspection

  1. INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1-2 20°C (68°F) 11.6 to 12.4 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    2. Check the operation.
      CAUTION: Perform the inspection in a well-ventilated area. Do not perform the inspection near a naked flame.
      1. Connect SST (fuel tube connector) to SST (hose), then connect them to the fuel pipe (vehicle side).

        2. SST 09268>31012 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41500) 

      2. Install the O-ring onto the fuel injector assembly.

      3. Connect SST (adapter and hose) to the injector assembly, and hold the injector assembly and union with SST (clamp).

        4. SST 09268-31012 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41400, 09268-41110)

      4. Set the injector assembly in a graduated cylinder.
        CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector assembly to prevent gasoline from spraying.
      5. Operate the fuel pump.
      6. Connect SST (wire) to the injector assembly and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with the graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

        Injection Volume 

        INJECTION VOLUME REFERENCE

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Positive terminal - Ground terminal Per 15 seconds 60 to 73 cm3 (3.7 to 4.5 cu in.)

        Difference between each injector: 

        13 cm 3  (0.8 cu in.) or less 

        NOTE: Always do the switching at the battery side.

        If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    3. Check for leaks.
      1. Disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leaks from the injector.

        Fuel drop: 

        1 drop or less every 12 minutes
