On-Vehicle Inspection

  1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER 

    Remove 4 nuts and engine cover.

  2. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION 

    Check operation sound from each injector.

    1. With the engine running or cranking, use a sound scope to check that there is normal operating noise in proportion to engine speed.

    3. If you have no sound scope, you can check the injector transmission operation with a screwdriver.

    If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check the wiring connector, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
