Cold Start Injector

  1. Cold start injector and cold start injector time switch are both fed current from ignition switch during cranking. Cold start injector ground circuit is controlled by cold start injector time switch. To test cold start injector, unplug cold start injector wiring harness. Check resistance between terminals of injector. Replace injector if defective. See COLD START INJECTOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS.

  2. To check cold start injector spray pattern and leakage, relieve fuel system pressure. Remove cold start injector from vehicle.
  3. Install fuel hose to injector. If original hose is too short, use Fuel Injection Kit (09268-41045) to extend the hose length and add a union. See Fig 1 & 21.
  4. Place container under cold start injector. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Place jumper wire across fuel pump check connector. Fuel pump check connector is 2-wire connector near airflow meter in left rear corner of engine compartment (White/Black and Green wires).
    CAUTION: Perform cold start injector connector test in shortest possible time.
  5. Connect probes of Fuel Injector Tester (09842-30070) to battery. Connect other end of tester to cold start injector. See Fig 1 & 21.
  6. Ensure fuel spray is an even cone shape. Disconnect fuel injector tester harness and observe cold start injector. Maximum leakage should be one drop per minute with fuel pressure applied. Clean or replace cold start injector if defective.
