Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to replace all injectors?
No β€” only replace the one that has failed. The others may be fine for many more miles.
What does injector resistance tell me?
Compare to specs (typically 11-18 ohms for high-impedance injectors). Out of range means the injector is bad.
