Injector operational check

[K Boat Man]

Is there a way to check if an injector is cycling with engine at idle on a Bridgeport? I have a electrical pulse to the injector but not sure the injector it's self is cycling.

Thanks for any help.......

You can remove the injectors from the block but leave them connected and have someone turn the engine over while you hold them. Some people hold them in front of a piece of cardboard to see if the spray pattern is uniform. Just wear eye protection.

Good point, sounds like the next step.....I just had injectors cleaned and flow checked so injector is good....while reinstalling noticed electrical connector was missing one side of the tang (is that the right term). Should be two for both sides of each injector spade to allow a "sandwich connection" thus I have one injector spade with only one side making contact...hopefully. Looking for a new connector but not going to happen today and want to hit the ramp.

Thanks for your input.....

Yea only one side making contact could be the problem. Try Brucato, they could possibly have that connector you need if no one else has it

They did my injectors and did not know where to get a connector.

Just found this source http://connectorsfast.com/ They should have it.
Don't run it with that connector you have there. If it loses contact at high RPM, your motor is toast.

Thanks Tony.........had them send a connector based on the Bosch picture on your web site and was the wrong one. Alex at connector fast was a great guy to deal with and talked like he knew what the connector was. Anyway, I will call them back on Monday and see about getting the right one.

Do you know what Bosch part number would be to assist with getting the right one?

Thanks for doing my injectors....It was refreshing to deal with you and Linda.....Maybe there still is such a thing as customer service!

My Napa has those connectors. I bought some to use for a test fixture I made.

Thanks guys....I just wanted to run at the ramp to see if problems went away with the injector service. So I did pull the injector and it was cycling with the current connector. But still got big time problems #$%&#.

Will start a new thread on that............Thanks for all your help.
