One injector working
How do I repair an injector that's not spraying, is it a electrical problem or just need to replace it?

Re: One injector working
Swap injector plugs. That's how I checked mine. The wires are long enough to plug into either. It was clogged so I got another one.

Re: One injector working
Get an ohm meter and ohm out the pins on that injector and compare it to the other injectors. Injectors can usually be overhauled at an injection shop for around $40-60 each, depending on the shop.

Re: One injector working
Other injector, there's only two. So that wouldn't help as much as it would if there were eight to compare.

Re: One injector working
I think, from memory, that a low impedance TBI injector will measure around 4 ohms. Also, with the ignition key on, one of the two wires that goes to each injector will be 12V hot. The ecu grounds the other wire to open the injector. And, if you point a timing light at the injector with the engine running and the air cleaner off, you can visually see the spray pattern.

Re: One injector working
It's clogged. I got a whole throttle body at the junkyard for $25 and used an injector from it, but new ones I priced at about $60 each at AutoZone.
