A fuel injector's current draw, measured in amps, is a function of the fuel injector's actual impedance. Your answer is then necessarily dependent upon the impedance of your injectors.
To determine your injector's draw, simply divide voltage by ohms.
That is, given a 12v circuit and an injector with 12 ohms resistance, the draw is 1 amp (12 divided by 1).
Typically it's a sticking injector. If it runs, try putting some injector cleaner in your next tank of fuel. Also, if the air filter is plugged the engine may not be getting enough air.
check your injector and the O ring that goes around the injector. You will need a star bit or a hex bit, mid size to remove the injector, it just pulls out. and unplugs, check for carbon build-up (black residue) and take the O ring off and examine it. This truck has a sensor that tells how much fuel to dispense, if the O ring is damaged, or the injector is clogged by carbon deposits, it may be sending too much or (if O ring is damaged) or not enough, (if build up has it clogged) fuel and then the truck may not stay running, the proper amount of fuel needs to be dispensed to keep it running. You can clean the injector with gasoline and a tooth brush, don't assume it is bad and needs replaced. You can buy the O ring a any hard ware store for about 12cents. This is very common in Chevy trucks from 1990-1999. I had to replace my O ring in my s-14 about 3 times. but 36 cents was better than *80.00 for a new injector, check it out
i had a faulty diesel injector on my 2.4jtd it had done 110000 miles. the faults on a diesel are it sounds like a tractor as most new deisels run quite quiet, the engine shakes like mad, very bad mpg, unburned diesel smoke out exhaust when the injector fails and sometimes no fault will regester on the comp when hooked up. mine did not took months to find what was at fault. i also advise to clean egr valve out on routine every 6 months as they are bad for sooting and sticking open. im not sure the fault on petrol cars but im sure it will also have a missfiring problem and unspent fuel out of exhaust and lack of mpg. listen for a clacking noise like the piece of plastic u used to put on ur back wheel of ur push bike. mine sounded like a more intense version than that. ford mondeo's are prone to injector faults in there deisels. running cars on low dirty fuel is a major cause of these problems. i would say to anyone put injector cleaner in and run high revs aslong as it does not sound too badly damaged it could just be a blocked injector and new injectors are not exactly cheap. mine cost £300 then the labour cost of fitting it hope this helps for any unlucky people who have this fault.
A 91 Sunbird should be fuel injected and not have a carburetor. It sounds like an ignition problem. No spark. Pull a spark plug wire off and connect a spark tester (between 10 and 20 dollars). Have someone try starting the car and watch the tester to see if it lights. If it does not, then you have a faulty ignition system. It could also be a faulty fuel injector. If the fuel injector leaks, there is too much fuel going into the engine. This can cause a vapor lock in the cylinder(s). Hope this helps.
try squirting some sarter fluid in air filter .if this starts engine and then dies, try it again. if engine will run as long as you squirt starter fluid ,the stop when starter fluid runs out, pretty much means you are not getting fuel. so you then need to check fuel filter, fuel pump injectors and injector pump until you find the problem
There is not much you can do for a leaky fuel injector but they do not cost much, they only run around 20 dollars.
The price of a fuel injector is dependent upon the make and model of the engine. The fuel injector for an automobile engine will cost approximately $35.
Yes. A sticking fuel injector can allow far too much fuel into a cylinder.
That completely depends on the type of injector needed and the application(engine)
No, not unless you use to much.
Depends on the make/model of your car and the desired performance of the injector, but generally in the area of $25 - $300 for the part.
A fuel injector is pretty much like an electric solenoid. The injector is therefore an electrical and mechanical component. It opens and closes a plunger which is pulsed in the injector by the on board computer. The computer uses all the other sensors on the vehicle to calculate how long or how many pulses needed to keep the fuel injector open. Fuel is driven to the injector or injectors by an electric pump which also is regulated by pressure. The injector is closed before compression of the engine or is opened on the down stroke of the cycle. In other words; when the injector has electricity going to it, then it opens. Without electricity it naturally closes.
A a typical fuel injector may cost anywhere from $50 to $100. How long it takes to R&R depends on the application, some are easy and some are not.
I want to clarify if you are asking if you can blow air through a fuel injector? If this is your question, I am not really sure what you are going to gain by trying to do this. A fuel injector has a tiny valve inside that opens with an electrical pulse from the PCM. Even if you could open that valve, the passages inside the injector are the size of a pinprick. There is nothing to be gained in trying to blow air through an injector. You will not even be able to tell how much air is going through the injector, and how much air is going around the injector as you are doing this. If the injector will not clean up with injector cleaners, then it will require replacement.
Stuck fuel injector or busted diaphragm inside the fuel pressure regulator.
Too much fuel pressure, or maybe the return line is clogged, or blocked.
Removing the injector is fairly simple. There is a fuel supply line (steel line) to each injector. There is also a return line (smaller one). Both of these lines will have to be removed. On the return line be careful not to lose the little compression washers. Remove the two bolts that hold the injector in place. The injector should pull out. Be careful not to lose the copper washer that usually comes out with it. Inspect the end of it. There should be tiny holes in the end where the fuel sprays out. Unless you have a injector tester you will have to take them to a Diesel mechanic and have them tested. They will hook them up to a machine that can apply the PSI required to see if they are working properly. It shouldn't cost that much.
