I was thinking that if I disconnect the fuel pump wire so that
the engine cannor start, possibly turning it over and listening to the injectors
would tell me if they are clicking? Or might this be too diffucult to
hear? Thanks for any and all suggestions on how to check this out. Paul

Hi
Paul,
Congrats on making
noise! It's pretty much downhill from here :-)
It's fairly likely
that your computer won't generate injector pulses below some minimum
cranking rpm, so you wouldn't be able to generate any injector pulses when
turning it by hand. When turning it with the starter, you probably won't
be able to hear the faint clicking of the
injectors.
If you want to test the
operation of an injector (to see if it's stuck), just unplug the connector, put
12V on one terminal of the injector, and touch a grounded wire to the
other terminal. You'll hear it click, unless it's
stuck.
Good luck.
I'll just finished welding my exhaust system, which was the last major
fabrication job, so it's nothing but hoses and wiring to make it run
again. I expect to be making noise by the end of next
week, and maybe ready to fly by the end of the week after
that.
Cheers,
Rusty
