  Injector Failure Affects?


As an injector is failing and its' coil resistance is increasing to the point where it finally does not deliver any fuel at all (a totally open coil with an infinite resistance reading), might it cause the affected cylinder to run leaner and therefore hotter for some period, which could also affect valves, the piston and the like?

How about the affects of a completely failed one, once it is no longer delivering any fuel at all, with spark only and air, no ignition and no power generated at all?

You will find a fuse for injectors, replace with a wire loop and use an amplified current probe to view the current ramp up of each injector on a digital oscilloscope.

When the pintle lifts open you will see a ~ in the current graph [/] and can compare the real open time in milliseconds with the ecu commanded time.

See this graph:

Note that during the first 0.8>1.0 milliseconds of on time zero fuel flows until pintle opens.

At idle the open pulse is 1.2ms yet fuel flows only 0.4 at max yet at WOT high rpm 10ms less 0.8 is 9.2 ms of fuel...............23x difference [9.2/0.4]


The point is view all injector current ramps simultaneously and look for any unusal shapes.
