How do I test the Fuel Injectors on an LT1


Recommended Posts

I have an LT1 with Painless wiring harness and a 1992 computer. It just stopped running the other day; the spark is good but I don't feel like the injectors are opening properly (I do have 43 PSI at startup). How do I test the Injectors from the computer, I think I might have a bad computer (I just put in a rebuilt computer about a month ago).

Your injectors should ohm out at around 12-15ohms. As for testing them, you should really use a "noid" light" but you can use a 12V test light. The noid light is designed not to put any extra load/draw on the injector circuit so you dont run the risk of damaging the computer. So using a 12V test light may or may not damage your PCM. I've seen plenty of guys use it without any harm to the PCM.

 

The first thing I would do is check your fuses on your harness. I know the factory harness has two 7.5A fuses, one for each bank of injectors.

I would double check my grounds for the pcm, battery, engine to frame. Bad grounds do funny stuff. Other than that it could be a bad icm. As far as I know there is not a way to test a icm. It was a toss of either opti or icm for me 2 times. Both times it was the opti.
