I recall someone posting that you could test
to see if an injector is firing by just attaching 12 volts + and - to the two
pins of the injectors, and you should hear a click. Is this a very subtle
click, or fairly loud and easy to hear?
It's a pretty noticeable click. Whack the side of the
injector a few times with the handle of a hammer to see if that frees it
up.
I
have the peak and hold type injectors if that matters at all. (72 lb/hr).
I touched the two wires to the injector's pins, and I believe I was only hearing
the faint spark caused by the wires making contact. After about 5 seconds
with the two wires still touching the pins, the injector got pretty hot. Sound
terminal or normal?
Let's just say that if it wasn't dead before...
:-) These are low resistance injectors, about 2 ohms, so you
were putting 6 amps through the coil. They call these peak and hold,
because they hit them with full voltage for just long enough to pull them in,
then drop the voltage to a lower level, which is sufficient to
hold them in. They do this to make them react quickly, but limit the
current they have to endure.
I called Dave
Atkins and he said to send the injector to him, and he would check it out. If
need be, he has replacement injectors. Don't know the cost (don't really care,
just want one). Sounded like he was in a hurry, so I didn't keep him on the
phone. Thanks for any info you guys might have to offer regarding testing the
injectors, etc. Paul Conner
If you place your order on Summit tonight, you'll have it
via FedEx Home delivery Thursday :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (flow meter on the
way)
