Injector tech

[Black1987Stang]

I found out one of my injectors are leaking...I have 2 spare injectors, is there any way these are good to go and sealing properly? I ohmed both of the terminals on them and both got 16.4 ohms (same as my other good injectors), that eliminates the coil inside being shorted, now is there anyway i can make sure it wont leak? Can I hook a can of carb cleaner to it and see if leaks out or something? I dont have a compressor so i cant use the compressed air method. This is just temporary till i got money for a new one. Thanks

People in here have reported being able to have injecotrs flow tested and cleaned for rediculously cheap (like 5 bucks each). If I could find a deal like that, I would take it. But if you can, that would be easier to have done than doing it yourself.
Otherwise, Jrichker's compressed air method is the only one I know of for shadetrees use.

Good luck.

how can you tell if your injectors are leaking?

And how do you Ohms them? Which wires.

To ohm them...Disconnect the harness connector(in my case the injectors already out in my hand). There are 2 little metal prongs, get a DMM(or just any type of digital ohmeter), Put one lead from the meter to each metal prong on the ohmeter, turn the meter to the proper ohm fuction and see what the ohms are. All mine have been 16.4 ohms.

I came to the conclusion mine were leaking b/c.....I hotwired my fuel pump to stay on continously with the engine off and one of the injectors was making a PSSHHH PSSH noise, no random order it was just going PSH PSSHHH PSH PSH..u get the idea and my fuel pressure would drop within a minute when i turned the pump off....There was no leakage from the rail so I figured its leaking at the pintle where it sprays into the intake, and they were pretty beat looking injectors anyway.
