Injector Nozzles

NOTE: Do not allow open flame or sparks in area while testing and servicing fuel system components, to avoid possibility of fire or explosion.
  1. Remove one injector from manifold tube, leaving fuel hose attached to injector. Pull injector straight out. Disconnect high tension cable from terminal 4 of ignition coil to prevent engine from starting.
  2. Point injector into a glass jar. Have someone operate starter for 15 seconds while you observe spray pattern, which should be steady and cone-shaped.
  3. Turn ignition switch OFF. Hold injector horizontally. No fuel should drip from injector nozzle. If injector does not perform to specifications, replace it. Repeat test for each injector.
NOTE: When installing injectors, soak rubber seals in gasoline briefly. Be sure injectors are fully pressed into seat.
