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.
The fuel injectors on the Ford Escape are located on the top of the motor at the center of the engine compartment. You can test the injectors using an ohm meter.
Fuel Injectors rail driver side, same look as the fitting to put air on your trucks tire.................Fuel rail is the tubing that supplies fuel to the fuel injectors..
i paid a cheny dealer to test my injectors and it cost 150.00 for the test. that is the only way to get then tested is to have a mechanic do it
A noid light is a test light that plugs into your harness of the fuel injectors to test for electrical pulses.
Check your fuel pump and fuel injectors. Have a fuel pressure and flow test done.
Find the fuel line or where the fuel injectors are and fallow the fuel line they are connected to and at some point you will find a connection much like a tire connection that is where you will do a fuel pressure test from
In order to answer this you need to be more specific as to what fuel problem you are having. Is it a fuel pressure problem? or a fuel injector problem. I would suggest you go get the fuel pressure checked to begin with. That can usually tell you if the fuel problem is from the fuel tank to the fuel rail or if the problem may lie in the fuel injectors. A weak fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter may be the culprit. If your pump is good and the filter is clean, then one or more injectors may be clogged not allowing the fuel to get to a cylinder. The fuel pumps job is to deliver the fuel to the injectors, the fuel injectors are designed to deliver the fuel to the engine beit through a throttle body or a bank of injectors or single injectors made for each cylinder. Start with a fuel pressure test and see where that leads and then come back and repost.
Not much info to go on but, do a fuel pressure test to se if you are getting the proper fuel pressure to the injectors. Year, make, model and engine size would help us help you.
you should check the fuel pressure and volume by preforming a fuel systems test. then if it is satisfactory to the specifications of the repair manual, test the injectors, resistance test and balance test.
It could but not likely. Do a fuel pressure test and be sure to replace the fuel filter. If you have low or no fuel pressure I would suspect the fuel pump is at fault.
The no 1 reason for a loss of pressure would be the fuel pump, however in order to rule out the injectors, remove the line from the injectors and test the pressure from the line. If the pressure drops, it's the pump, if not, check the injectors for major failure. Either one or all could be the cause. It's best to try to isolate sides if possible but that might take major plumbing work.
The cetane number is determined through a standardized test method called the cetane number test. This test measures the ignition quality of diesel fuel by comparing the ignition delay time of the diesel fuel being tested to that of a reference fuel (typically cetane). The higher the cetane number, the better the ignition quality of the diesel fuel.
