Ok, the injectors are pulsing, there is fuel, there is fire but.....
Just to be sure my injectors were clean & working, I pulled the intake again and removed the fuel rails and injectors. Based on the little video in a previous post I devised my own little redneck cleaning & testing process....
Went to the parts store and bought some 5/16" vacuum caps, carb cleaner & little audio-sized wire connectors since I didn't have an extra injector connector laying around. I used the pin to puncture the top and the vacuum cap and inserted the red tube from the carb cleaner.
I attached a couple of connectors to a couple of wires and slid them on the terminals of the injector.
The injectors only require 5volts. I had an old battery charger with a 6volt setting so I used it...
I attached the red tube to the carb spray while touching the red wire to the hot wire on the charger....(I already had the other wire clamped to black) Oh, I had to use a hose clamp on the rubber cause the pressure from the carb cleaner blew it across the garage...
It worked like a charm. After several blasts the injectors were spraying clean & strong.
I reassembled everything......and nothing has changed.
I loosened the hold down bolt and rotate the distrib with the key on. As it rotates the fuel pump primes and the pressure gauge jumps to 45psi, then back to zero."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
