Study Notes
Fuel-Injection Diagnosis Overview
- A scan tool aids diagnosis by observing parameters like idle air counts, long-term fuel trim, and short-term fuel trim.
- In a gang fire system, fuel injectors are wired in parallel, not series.
Injector Circuits and Testing
- Types of injector circuits include saturated switch, pulse-width modulated, and peak and hold.
- Fuel injectors can be tested using an oscilloscope, an ohmmeter, or a stethoscope.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- An injection cleaning machine requires 75-90 PSI before engine start; proper cleaning solutions should be mixed at 2:1 solvent to gasoline.
- Both the throttle plates and fuel rails should be cleaned during fuel injection service.
Fuel Injector Performance
- During a pressure drop test, the difference in pressure between any two injectors should not exceed 1.5 PSI.
- Port fuel-injected engines typically operate at fuel pressures of 35 to 45 psi (240 to 310 kPa).
- For a vehicle with a mass airflow injection system, a vacuum leak at idle leads to a lean fuel mixture.
Effects of Vacuum Leaks
- On a speed density injection system, a vacuum leak can result in increased calculated load, increased idle speed, and increased MAP sensor voltage.
Injector Driver and Resistance
- Port fuel-injection systems generally utilize a saturated switch for injector driver.
- All fuel injectors on an engine should have the same electrical resistance, with differences between any two injectors remaining below 2 ohms.
Fuel Injector Flow Testing
- Special service tools are required to pulse fuel injectors; each injector should be flow tested multiple times without starting the engine.
Common Engine Symptoms
- Symptoms of a dirty throttle plate include rough idle, stalling, and hesitation on acceleration.
- Injectors at the end of the fuel rail or bends in the rail are more prone to restriction due to fuel flow dynamics.
