Electronic Unit Injector - Test
SMCS - 1290-081
This procedure assists in identifying the cause for an injector misfiring. Perform this procedure
only after performing the Cylinder Cutout Test. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Solenoid
Circuit-Test" for more information.
1. Check for air in the fuel, if this procedure has not already been performed. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test".
Electrical shock hazard. The electronic unit injector system uses 90-120
volts.
2. Remove the valve cover and look for broken parts. Repair any broken parts or replace any
broken parts that are found. Inspect all wiring for the solenoids. Look for loose connections.
Also look for frayed wires or broken wires. Ensure that the connector for the unit injector
solenoid is properly connected. Perform a pull test on each of the wires. Inspect the posts of
the solenoid for arcing. If arcing is found, remove the cap assembly. Clean the connecting
posts. Reinstall the cap assembly and tighten the solenoid nuts to a torque of
2.50 ± 0.25 N·m (22 ± 2 lb in). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic
Unit Injector - Install".
3. Look for signs of fuel leakage. Investigate the source of the leaking fuel. Remedy the cause
of the fuel leak.
4. Check the valve lash setting for the cylinder of the suspect unit injector. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust".

5. Ensure that the bolt that holds the unit injector is tightened to the proper torque. If
necessary, loosen the bolt that holds the unit injector and tighten with the procedure from
Specifications, "Electronic Unit Injector Mechanism".
6. Remove the suspect unit injector and check the unit injector for signs of exposure to
coolant. Exposure to coolant will cause rust to form on the injector. If the unit injector
shows signs of exposure to coolant, remove the injector sleeve and inspect the injector
sleeve. Replace the injector sleeve if the injector sleeve is damaged. Check the unit injector
for an excessive brown discoloration that extends beyond the injector tip. If excessive
discoloration is found, check the quality of the fuel. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel
Quality - Test". Replace the seals on the injector and reinstall the injector. Refer to
Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic Unit Injector - Install". Also refer to
Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Electronic Unit Injector Sleeve - Install". Inspect the
injector for deposits of soot that are above the surface of the seat of the injector. Deposits of
soot indicate combustion gas leakage. The source of the leak should be found, and the
source of the leak should be remedied. The injector will not need to be replaced if
combustion gas leakage was the problem.
7. If the problem is not resolved, replace the suspect injector with a new injector.
