Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

So I think I can turn the ignition switch to on and should see voltage at the injector connector .I was wondering if I should start the car with the injector connector off and with a test light see if the light lights .I know the injector fires very fast so should the test light stay lite /on..?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So you can remove the air box with out removing the motor .Pulled exhaust at header. Pulled sway bar .Pulled transmission mounts .Pulled bolt from front engine mount a lowered motor till it touched cross member. At this point i was able to fish it out the top . My car was previously de-snorkeled . I can now get to bank 2 injectors . How can I check the injectors with an ohm meter ? Thank you all

You need a noid light for that...or create you own noid light (search youtube)

POST 4Original post

If you have a Durametric I believe you can toggle your individual injectors on and off with engine running. So if you toggled an injector off you could see it in RPM drop and the engine would sound different and idle different. You would at the least know the injectors were getting signal from the ECU and working.

POST 5Original post

Durametric can't do this, not that I have seen anyway

Just checked on my 2000S Go to the Engine module. Click on Activations: bottom of the page lists injectors 1-6 Then Variocam for each bank. I toggled injector 1 off with engine running and could tell the difference instantly.
