How to Measure Fuel Injectors Using a Test Light?
1 Answers
Method for measuring fuel injectors using a test light: 1. Connect the two pins of the test light to the injector wiring harness connector and start the engine; 2. If the test light flashes at a certain frequency, it indicates that the fuel injector is functioning properly without any faults; 3. If the test light does not illuminate or remains constantly lit without flashing, it suggests that the fuel injector is malfunctioning and has a fault. Main causes of fuel injector sticking: 1. Unclean diesel fuel with impurities in the high-pressure fuel line, causing the needle valve assembly to fail to seal properly, leading to high-pressure gas backflow from the combustion chamber and burning the needle valve assembly; 2. Engine temperature too high with insufficient injector cooling; 3. Worn-out fuel outlet valve; 4. Fuel injection pressure too low.
