[Diy_efi] Injectors Not Firing TESTER

[Charles Woock]

Do you have a schematic for this or know where it is on the web?

Thanks

to test, build a quick and dirty injector testor w/ a 555 and a power 
trans/FET set up to slow rate pulse and hook up to the 'jector to see if it 
squirts when the fuel log is presureized

Hi,

Actually, 12v at both pins of the injector is good (provided eng is not
running) - because your multimeter is at least 1MOhm (and probably
10MOhm) it provides no appreciable load, so you will measure 12v at both
sides of the injector's internal coil (there will only be a voltage drop
across the injector coil when current is actually flowing - i.e. when
the ECM grounds the 'cold' side of the injector.

By seeing 12v at both sides of the injector coil, you have proved the
injector is not internally open-circuit (aka 'fried')

Cheers,

Hoppy.

Update...

OK, the multimeter says I've got 12V at BOTH pins on the injector...  Me
thinks that's not so good, and probably not what VATS does.

I also pulled the PROM out, mostly to verify to myself that I DID in
fact have it in the box, and judging by the scribbles on the chip, the
guy who programmed it probably DID do the right thing(s) with it.  I'll
shoot him an email and see what he can dig up on the project.

In the mean time, I've got to do some digging myself and see what I've
done when hooking the system up.  There's NOT a separate wire for the
injector power, so I'm thinking it is worked in to some other junction
in the system. Time to go take some notes.

the injectors. you need to have a scan tool connected and look at the
vats, is it enabled or disabled
