Electronic Unit Injector - Test

SMCS - 1290-081

This procedure assists in identifying the cause for an injector misfiring. Perform this procedure only
after performing the Cylinder Cutout Test. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Solenoid Circuit-Test"
for more information.

1. Check for air in the fuel, if this procedure has not already been performed. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test".

Electrical shock hazard. The electronic unit injector system uses 90-120
volts.

2. Remove the valve cover and look for broken parts. Repair any broken parts or replace any
broken parts that are found. Inspect all wiring for the solenoids. Look for loose connections.
Also look for frayed wires or broken wires. Ensure that the connector for the unit injector
solenoid is properly connected. Perform a pull test on each of the wires. Inspect the posts of the
solenoid for arcing. If arcing is found, remove the cap assembly. Clean the connecting posts.
Reinstall the cap assembly and tighten the solenoid nuts to a torque of 2.50 ± 0.25 N·m
(22 ± 2 lb in). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic Unit Injector - Install".

3. Look for signs of fuel leakage. Investigate the source of the leaking fuel. Remedy the cause of
the fuel leak.

4. Check the valve lash setting for the cylinder of the suspect unit injector. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust".

5. Ensure that the bolt that holds the unit injector is tightened to the proper torque. If necessary,
loosen the bolt that holds the unit injector and tighten with the procedure from Specifications,
"Electronic Unit Injector Mechanism".

6. Remove the suspect unit injector and check the unit injector for signs of exposure to coolant.
Exposure to coolant will cause rust to form on the injector. If the unit injector shows signs of
exposure to coolant, remove the injector sleeve and inspect the injector sleeve. Replace the
injector sleeve if the injector sleeve is damaged. Check the unit injector for an excessive brown
discoloration that extends beyond the injector tip. If excessive discoloration is found, check the
quality of the fuel. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel Quality - Test". Replace the seals on
the injector and reinstall the injector. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic
Unit Injector - Install". Also refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic Unit
Injector Sleeve - Install". Inspect the injector for deposits of soot that are above the surface of
the seat of the injector. Deposits of soot indicate combustion gas leakage. The source of the leak
should be found, and the source of the leak should be remedied. The injector will not need to be
replaced if combustion gas leakage was the problem.

7. If the problem is not resolved, replace the suspect injector with a new injector.
