What kind of injector does a Sonoma 88 S10 use?
Compnine also lists the 92 sonoma with a fuel injector as a ACDelco #217-338. On the 88 s10 the fuel injector is a ACDelco #217-336. Thanks for the help. The Throttle bodies look the same, the injectors may have some internal difference, perhaps the 92 has higher fuel pressure, the 88 only has 9 to 13 lb fuel pressure.
What kind of fuel spray does a 1988 S10 use?
1988 S10 2.5 TBI, 5 speed. No fuel spray from injector. Got this for my step son who is 1st year electrician apprentice. The vehicle is old and worn, but didn’t burn oil. Before it died there was an issue with chugging, it would shake and buck and rattle the whole drivetrain real bad.
What was the problem with the 1988 S10?
Original problem was slow starting, had to crank about 15 seconds before it would catch and run. Then it wouldn’t start without putting a small space heater next to the intake manifold 20 to 30 minutes. Then it would go like before after about 15 seconds cranking. Then it died on the road.
What should I do if my fuel pump is not grounding?
If the ignition system is equipped with a distributor, you can disconnect the high tension cable from the distributor cap and ground it to the engine (bolt or bracket) using a jumper wire. On other systems, you can remove the fuel pump fuse.
What happens when the 5V reference wire is grounded?
The 5V reference wire was the first wire in the harness to be grounded. Keep in mind that the ECM/PCM also needs the 5V to operate and it lost power as well. On this vehicle, the starter circuit also shut down. As I stated earlier, the other 5V reference wires will be lower or show 0A.
What happens when reference wire is shorted to ground?
Also, the voltage drop across the limiting resistor (50 ohms) is around .009V. That low a voltage drop doesn’t affect the 5V supply that much. When one of the reference wires becomes shorted to ground, the sensor (25,000 ohms) on that particular part of the circuit is now bypassed. At that point the amperage can rise to .1A, or 100mA.

What causes bad ground connections on a car?
When checking ground connections, make sure the terminals attach to a non-painted surface. You want to connect to bare metal. Paint, corrosion, greasy surfaces, frayed or broken wires, and loose connections are the main cause of bad automotive grounds.
Is there an injector pulse while cranking the engine?
The engine will run if you either spray starting fluid down the throttle body or hook up a remote start switch. If you use the key, there is no injector pulse while cranking. As you let go of the key and return it to the run position, the injectors give one squirt.
Why is there no fuel spray from injector?
On the way home it stopped and hasn’t run for weeks now. There is fuel and pressure at the injector but no spray. There is a red wire and blue wire there. The red has 12 volts, the blue is supposed to pulse on cranking. It does not pulse.
Do you need Noid light for fuel injector?
All fuel injection and ignition functions are regulated by the computer control module, which is sometimes also referred to as the ECM, PCM or VCM. First of all you need a noid light to check for a pulse. A voltmeter will not work, neither will a 12 volt test light.
How to check for no pulse on injector?
Check the wiring to the injector. You can check the positive side with a test light with the key on. If that is good you will need a noid light to check the negative pulse from the ECM. A test light will not work for this. Connect the noid light, and crank the engine.
Is the crank sensor OK with no fuel injector?
Since no leaks were present and pressure was normal, then the fuel pressure regulator is OK. The PCM was indeed trying to activate the injector. This indirectly confirms that the crank sensor is OK, since without a Crank Sensor Signal, the PCM will not activate the fuel injectors.
What should fuel pressure be on chevr injector?
The injector should have around 1.3 ohms of resistance, if it is open or zero resistance, it is bad. The injector could be totally clogged as well. Fuel pressure should be 9 to 13 psi. Check the wiring to the injector. You can check the positive side with a test light with the key on.
What happens if there is no gas in the injector?
If it does not spray, the problem is the injector or no fuel pressure. The injector should have around 1.3 ohms of resistance, if it is open or zero resistance, it is bad. The injector could be totally clogged as well.
