Thanks for the tip, Landon. It might be a good idea to wrap one of the leads in electrical tape to avoid a possible short circuit since they are so close together.

Just a heads up, they can still be "bad" if they click. This wont give you an idea if the injector is clogged up and spraying poorly or sticks open when pulsing. This is a great road-side test to see if its at all working electrically but you can still have a nasty misfire.

Be careful not to burn up the coil on peak and hold low resistance injectors. The ECU only allows full current very briefly to open then drops the voltage to hold it open.

Get a 2 ounce syringe. Fill with Sea Foam or similar. Use tubing or just put the syringe tip into the back of the injector. Pressurize and click the injector. This tests spray pattern and for sticking. Easier with 2 people
