How to Test the Condition of Fuel Injectors?
1 Answers
Testing the condition of fuel injectors can be done through the following methods: 1. On-vehicle inspection: Start the vehicle and allow the engine coolant temperature to reach normal operating range. With no fault codes present, gradually increase the throttle. If the engine speed promptly rises with throttle input and the engine produces clear, powerful sounds, this indicates normal engine condition; 2. Engine testing: Start the engine and sequentially disconnect the wiring harness connectors of each fuel injector. If engine vibration significantly increases, this confirms the injector is functioning properly; 3. Bench testing: Use a fuel injector atomization tester to observe spray patterns. No spraying indicates definite failure, while visibly poorer atomization compared to other injectors also suggests malfunction. For more professional analysis, the fuel injector should be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.
