Is there a way to check the injectors without removing them?? or the plenum?? thanks

 

What exactly are you needing to check? Just if they are bad/clogged or not?

either one,I want to know if they are working properly,..I have a missfire #5,according to a code it gave a while ago,code hasn't came back but is still not running quite right, from all my reading I'm suspecting injector,

2000 v6 runner/auto, 287k original wires and coils,pretty new factory plugs,clean maf,... If you drive it like a grandma it usually doesn't act up, the best way to get it to "buck" is rolling along in overdrive at about 40-55 mph and try to accelerate and it stutters like it is running out of gas( I ran out of gas once and it is almost exact feeling when it is just starting to let you know "you are just about out of gas")

 

get new wires if there's almost 300k on them. bet thats it

 

you can ohm them to see if they are in spec. The reading will vary by temp. I had one go out on cylinder 4.

If you decide to rebuild I highly recommend to stay away from Accurate Injectors. They sent me a dud rebuild and tried to blame it on me, horrible customer service ( The guy said "I dont care if you tested it with 1000 multi meters, mine reads this) and the filter baskets were falling out when I removed from package. FYI

 

you can also use a piece of tubing up to your ear or other stethescope to hear the injector clicking

 

thanks for the input guys,I got fed up and brought it inthey said nothing wrong,i said check again,then they said #5 coilpack is going bad ,and recommended new wires and plug,parts are on the way,hopefully that does the trick,but I'm still thinking about pulling the injectors and have them professionally cleaned and checked

 

it turned out to be # 5 coilpack,put that in and new wires for 140.0 and all is good, beats paying the 450.00 that the dealership wanted

 

Sweet!
