lol I got 2 4 6 working good but I forgot to put the boots back on 1 3 5 and fouled them out again lol :P

[m90daytona]

haha...i know the feeling!

[Ondonti]

crap I have a new injector short that happened overnight. drove the car yesterday. Today #4 and #6 are flooding the same way 1 and 3 were flooding before. So far finding the possible short has not proved as easy.
Im taking the car apart to remove the transmission so Im not really sure how much I will get done on tracking down this stupid bugger.

I dont really know any good ways to test where the short is (or to prove there is a short).

[Ondonti]

drained the trans oil and TONS of metal came out

[Ntrain2k]

Tranny time!

[Ondonti]

i just pulled it out, called the trans guy, he had already gone home
Gee that was fun pulling motor/trans in 2 hours in 100+ heat with no shade
I had to take like 4 breaks :P
Now Im going to work to tell them im quiting
I need to study for LSAT so I can try to stay in this school for law school.

Gotta love this heat wave we're having, eh?

That's why I haven't touched anything but this damn A/C belt on my van.


By the way.... Good luck with that test.

[Ondonti]

Wont be taking it till sept 19th I think.
I want to spend some time on the cars and relax too.

if you have and ohm meter, you can check for a short to ground by putting one lead on the wire and one lead on a known good ground and see if you have continuity. if you do, then trace the wire to the short.

[Ondonti]

um
I dont really understand.
The fuel injector wires dont have power fed to them unless someone is cranking so its not so easy..........

[mwinkle353]

you can try jumping the ASD relay for your troubleshooting needs.

In a continuity test, the meter itself provides current to the circuit which must be isolated.

[Ondonti]

erm.....I dont really know how to do that then.

easy- just turn the vom to the continuity test setting- you can just touch the 2 testing leads/probes together and then you hear a beep if the ohms are less than 300omhs. So if you test something it will beep if you have continuity.


edit- there are also "noid" lights you plug the light where the injector goes and it lights up when it gets power.
never had a need for them but hey seem handy to have.

[Ondonti]

well unfortunately that test didnt find anything useful.
Read like 30 ohms between each injector feed wire (and 15.6 between each injector and the ground).
