Dang 10 years later and this video just saved me $300 from a tow and diagnosis. Chrisfix will always be a legend!!

Thanks! I was getting read to remove my injector rails and swap injectors to troubleshoot if injector 4 is bad due to misfiring. This will save me that time and I can quickly check resistance.

You are a great teacher - it's so fast like being taught in the matrix with a software install

You are truly a master Chrisfix, you've made me quite proficient in automechanics over the past 5 years.. truly thankful for your tutoring, you are the best.

I love the simple straight to the point short answer for what i was looking for!!! Thank you Chris.

One other important point. You ALWAYS want to subtract the meter lead resistance from your reading.. So, touch the test leads together (in this case, at 200 ohms) you will probably get something around 0.3. If you have 14.8 Ohms for example after stabilizing, subtract the 0.3, giving you an actual reading of 14.5 Ohms. :) This is especially important with more sensitive devices, and can mean the difference between actual replacement, and not replacing when its actually bad. Good video!

Good point, but i think the manufacturers account for that user error and people who need to measure more sensitive devices know this, already.

@@isaiahpinkerton3445 most of the more recent and higher quality meters do auto calibrate. Biggest thing is just do the 200 ohm setting and touch leads to verify it’s truly “0”. :-)

testing leads read 5.1 testing the injector read 16.5 so 11.4 is the result. Is this the correct reading?

Hey, my injectors are showing 0.8 ohms, is that normal? Low resistance injectors?

Now i have found my favourite youtube diy channel. Keep it up chris!

Chris you saved me a bunch of money! I used my multimeter to test the injectors on my Chrysler 200C 3.6L. Each tested at 15.0 ohms, except my one trouble cylinder. That one tested at 33.0. Replaced that injector, all my engine warning lights turned off and it's running smooth. Your video very straight forward and the graphics made it easy to understand the discussion. Thanks!!!

You are a big help to me Chris. You add alot to my automotive aptitude.

Just want to say thanks for the video. Showed me what I needed to no to test my injectors on my Jeep

You forgot to mention that injectors are either high impedance or low impedance. A low impedance injector will have a resistance of around 2.5 to 3 ohms, while a high impedance injector will fall somewhere around 12-18 ohms. Good simple video on how to check 😎

Not sure if this is even my problem yet, but I just want to thank you for something very basic yet for some odd reason many fix it videos for various problems that involve checking with a multimeter never tell you what to change the damn switch on the meter to only what it should or should not read so thanks a lot definitely got a subscriber even if this isnt my problem. lol

Thanks bro. Great video.

Great vid Chris.👍

Also watch out for slow climbing reading if reading takes long to reach stable it is also likely a bad injector another check to do just to figure out what's actually failing is measure from each terminal to injector bodies sometimes it can be the internal wires have shorted to body if no reading across any terminal than there is likely a break in the wire hope this helps.

Thanks for this tip it really helps

+ChrisFix Clogged/dirty/etc injectors wouldn't throw incorrect resistance readings though, right? So this is literally only for testing if the actual electronic part is bad for the injector, right?

@OtherDalfite

6 жыл бұрын

Corrrect. Dirty or clogged injectors would read perfectly fine. The "solenoid" chris describes is simply a copper winding that becomes magnetized (just as passing current through a wire wrapped around a nail makes it magnetic). An injector with an intact solenoid should read to have a very low resistance.

A good way to tell if a coil pack needs changed is if it is cracked or just looks really old. Spark plugs can be checked for continunity as well but they rarely fail unless really old

Smashing video chris :-)) For your own interest, touch the probes together and note the stray resistance shown on the meter, then when testing your injectors mentally subtract the stray from your display. Its a habit from being into electronics, not all meters have a "zero" button :-)
