How to test the fuel injectors on a Mitsubishi Galant?

Testing the fuel injectors on your 2.4L SOHC equipped Mitsubishi Galant (Eclipse or Expo) is easier than you think. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to test them to find out if they are fried (or not).

Is there a problem with the number 2 injector?

Now, since it’s only the number 2 injector, it shouldn’t be the injector driver in the ecu. Look at wiring diagrams again and trace the injectors back to the ecu, checking for voltage just like you did before. Most likely you have an open somewhere. found the problem, the wire from the #2 harness to like where the CAS looked a little brittle.

Which is the wire to the injector resistor pack?

The wire to the injector resistor pack is the power wire. Now, since it’s only the number 2 injector, it shouldn’t be the injector driver in the ecu. Click to expand… The DSM ECU uses sequential firing of the injectors most of the time, we have injector drivers for each injector.

Which is the ground wire for the fuel injector?

Minor correction, the wire to the ECU is the “ground” wire, it’s the one the ECU pulls low to fire the injector. The wire to the injector resistor pack is the power wire. Now, since it’s only the number 2 injector, it shouldn’t be the injector driver in the ecu.

Testing the fuel injectors on your 2.4L SOHC equipped Mitsubishi Galant (Eclipse or Expo) is easier than you think. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to test them to find out if they are fried (or not).

Can a spark plug be removed from the ignition coil?

Using a regular spark plug will give a false test result that’ll have you chasing the wrong diagnostic path/conclusion and in the process wasting time and money. Do not remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug or the ignition coil while the engine is cranking to test for spark. This method will ruin the ignition coil.

Where does the spark come from in a diesel engine?

(In Diesel engines don’t require any spark plug and the required heat to, Ignite the fuel is generated due to compression of air). This component generates the spark with the help of DC current. This device compressed the diesel and sprayed the compressed fuel inside the engine cylinder.

Where does the fuel injector go on a diesel engine?

The fuel injector is fitted on the Diesel Engine or CI Engine. (In Diesel engines don’t require any spark plug and the required heat to, Ignite the fuel is generated due to compression of air).

Using a regular spark plug will give a false test result that’ll have you chasing the wrong diagnostic path/conclusion and in the process wasting time and money. Do not remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug or the ignition coil while the engine is cranking to test for spark. This method will ruin the ignition coil.

How is the spark fed to the ignition coil?

One cylinder is fed spark directly by the ignition coil. The other cylinder is fed spark thru’ a spark plug wire (high tension wire). OK, technically speaking, this type of ignition system is not a true Coil-On-Plug (C.O.P.) System but hey, if it kinda’ looks like a duck and kinda’ quacks like a duck who cares?

Can a spark plug be removed from a crank test?

Using a regular spark plug will give a false test result that’ll have you chasing the wrong diagnostic path/conclusion and in the process wasting time and money. Do not remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug or the ignition coil while the engine is cranking to test for spark.
