Injectors

[Bigdog]

G'day again , just want some info on how do you tell if you have a Bad Injector
Thanks

easiest and most accurate way is a contribution test.

OE-Level Coverage (Enhanced Interfaces)

Did a buzz test and all is ok just not happy

does it run like a gas motor with a plug wire unhooked, or is it just a lazy slug?

No mate it is just hard to start some times ( hot or cold) To me it sounds like my Batteries are stuffed , but i have 2 Optima Yellow Top Batteries less than 8 months old ?? Starter maybe

hard to start like it cranks slow? (saw your other thread)
or hard to start like cranks & wont fire?

hard starts are typically glow plug related I'd start with the glow plug relay. I'm thinking you should be cooling down a bit but looks like still in the 80's for high 60's for low which is on the brink of when you start to need the glow plugs for smoother starting.


When you do get it started what kind of smoke are you seeing? white? black? lots? none?

 

[Bigdog]

It a slow crank then gets faster then some times when hot like wont fire ?
Thanks

When it starts some times a little blueish white sometime none or sometime black smoke a little and lots depends on how long i crank it for.
