I have a 95 dodge intrepid and I was told that I need to get a fuel injector changed, but they are 38.00 and do not want to buy all 6, how do I tell which one or ones are bad?How do I tell which fuel injector needs to be changed?
your best bet is to have someone take the injectors out and physically inspect them first. if that is not enough to tell which one is bad, then you might have to take them to a specialty shop and have them clean them out and during the cleaning process, they'll be able to tell which one is bad. see, fuel injectors can look perfectly clean when you look at them, but the internals can be full of gunk. and with all due respect to the other posting, DO NOT unplug the fuel injector while the car is running. not only would you have fuel spraying all over the place, but you have the possibility of simply lighting up in flames and shooting up to the sky. in order to remove an injector, you must first de-pressurize the fuel rail and remove both the rail and the wire harness. a simple task, but requires a high level mechanic skill, since you are talking about handling fuel. either way you look at it, your car might be down for a couple of days in order to pin-point the faulty injector. good luck with this and be safe!!!!How do I tell which fuel injector needs to be changed?
well the best way for you is to start your car and listening real close to it running and unplug the injectors one by one 1 at a time and plug it back up if when you unplug it the car starts to miss then that injector is fine but if nothing changes when you unplug one then that could be your bad one , the only other way is take it to a shop and have the spray pattern checked to make sure it is spraying the right amount of fuel into the intake they make a kit that you can by for checking them and it is expensive and very delicate mine is snap on and costs over 200 dollarsHow do I tell which fuel injector needs to be changed?
