Fuel Injector Inspection
FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTIONOperation Test
1. Carry out the "Fuel Injector Operation Inspection".
- If not as specified, perform the further inspection for the fuel injectors.
Resistance Inspection
NOTE: Perform the following procedure only when directed.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the fuel injector connectors.
4. Measure the resistance of the fuel injector using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the fuel injector.
- If as specified but "Operation Test" is failed, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection". Inspect for open or short circuit.
Resistance
11.4 - 12.6 ohms [20 °C {68 °F}]
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short circuit (continuity check).
California emission regulation applicable ATX model
Except for California emission regulation applicable ATX model
Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring Except.
- No.1 cylinder fuel injector terminal B and PCM terminal 76*1, 4Z*2
- No.2 cylinder fuel injector terminal B and PCM terminal 50*1, 4W*2

*2 : Except for California emission regulation applicable ATX model
Fuel Leakage Inspection
WARNING: FUEL LINE SPILLS AND LEAKAGE ARE DANGEROUS. FUEL CAN IGNITE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH AND DAMAGE. ALWAYS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED.
NOTE: Perform the following procedure only when directed.
1. Complete the "BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE".
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel injectors together with the fuel distributor with the fuel hose connected.
4. Fasten the fuel injectors firmly to the fuel distributor with wire.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
CAUTION: Connecting to the wrong check connector terminal may only to cause malfunction. Carefully connect the specified terminal.
6. Short the check connector terminal F/P to body GND using a jumper wire.
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON position to operate the fuel pump
8. Tilt the fuel injectors approx. 60 °.
9. Verify that fuel leakage from the fuel injector nozzles is within the specification.
- If not as specified, replace the fuel injector.
Fuel leakage
Less than 1 drop/2 min
10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position and remove the jumper wire.
11. Complete the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".
Volume Inspection
WARNING: FUEL LINE SPILLS AND LEAKAGE ARE DANGEROUS. FUEL CAN IGNITE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH AND DAMAGE. ALWAYS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED.
NOTE:
- If there is an after market fuel injector tester, perform the following procedure.
- If there is no an aftermarket fuel injector tester, perform "Operation Test", "Resistance Inspection", and "Fuel Leakage Test" to verify the fuel injector is okay or not.
1. Complete the "BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE".
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel injectors.
4. Connect the fuel injector to the fuel injector tester.
5. Measure the injection volume of each fuel injector using a graduated container.
- If not as specified, replace the fuel injector.
Injection volume
61 - 79 ml {61 - 79 cc, 2.2 - 2.7 fl oz}/15 s
6. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and disconnect the jumper wire.
7. Complete the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".
Atomization
1. Inspect atomization pattern.
- If the atomization is faulty, replace the fuel
