An Ohm reading is the amount of resistance through a fuel injector. A fuel injector is a solonoid that controls fuel delivery. Inside the injector, there is a coil of wire. When you measure the Ohms across the injector, you are checking the amount of resistance in that coil of wire. Each injector manufacturer has their own acceptable measurement, so check with them for proper readings.
I was told to use an Ohm meter. Umplug the snap connector, then touch one probe to on pen on the injector and the other probe to the other pen. You should read a steady 11.5 or so. In my case on my 1993 I got no reading on the suspected bad injector.
The reading will vary from empty to full.
LOW OHM READING - MEANS BAD INJECTOR COIL ECM FIRES FOUR AT A TIME ON 89'S IN LINE 14 -16 OHMS IS NORMAL LOWER OHMS RAISES AMPS BEYOND ECM CAPACITY AND ALL FOUR CAN MISFIRE
I've seen this before on GM fuel injected cars.. It could be that your fuel injector solenoid circuit has gone onto shut down due to a shorted, or very low resistance injector solenoid. Check your injector solenoids with an ohm-meter. They should be around 16 ohms..
Where is the fuel injector located?
The fuel injector provides the fuel. The spark plug provides the fire.
It is equipped with a fuel injector.
probably coil pack. do ohm test. also ohm the fuel injector. replace plugs every 105k miles, clean fuel injectors and reset timing, idle, and iac valve position every 30k miles. also clean your egr tube
If I'm not mistaken, it's just like checking fuel injectors on any other vehicle. You have to know what the resistance is (Honda should be able to give you the specs) remove the connector to the injector, take a multi-meter and set it for "ohms" and put the two probes on the contacts of the injector and you should get a resistance reading, if the reading is not within the manufacturers specs then it's a bad or weak injector. Hope this helps, its the best i can do.
A saturated fuel injector is also known as a High Impedance (or High z) fuel injector. The high z injector has a larger ohm draw through the coil (12v-15v) vs. a peak-hold (Low Impedance, Low z) injector, which is 2v-4v. Another difference is the how the injector uses the voltage to open the injector. A high z injector uses the full voltage to open and hold open the injector, therefore it voltage saturated. A low z injector (peak-hold) has a peak of high voltage to open then injector then uses a lower voltage to keep the injector open for the remainder of it's cycle. What this means to you, the low z injectors typically needs a resistor in line to add the necessary resistance to properly drive the system, otherwise the injectors could overheat to fatigue. A high z injector does not need a resistor.
Yes, you can use a fuel injector in a petrol engine.
