Spray Pattern Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 GMC Vandura, 1997 GMC Forward Control, 1997 Chevrolet Forward Control, and 1997 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The injector nozzles used with this system have several features that make pattern testing difficult. These features include longer nozzle overlap, greater pintle-to-body clearances and an internal wave washer between injector nozzle nut and injector. Typical injector nozzle tester cannot deliver fuel with sufficient velocity to obtain proper spray patterns. DO NOT  replace injector nozzle(s) based on spray pattern.
