    '98 Ford Ranger 3.0 range is 12.0 - 16.0 ohms. Four were about 14.2 ohms. Two were as high as 28 ohms. Truck has over 422,000 miles. I replaced all of them. I have all the paperwork from the previous owner and they were never replaced. And it cleared the P0304 code.

    Ok - good / simple test and advice. That being said , if I were to perform this test on all injectors as a comparison on ohm readings between the injectors - I would not remove the injectors - rather just unplug them and test without removing

    Thx, I just heard about this test I have had a number of issues trying to diagnosis a missing w/ my 1995 Roadmaster. I recently discovered and replaced both catalytic converter's bcoz of being plugged, which I think may have harmed the EFI's. I used my cheap voltmeter w/ setting on 2000 Ohms and I got .015-.017 on 5 of the EFI's and 3 had readings of .005-.007 so I think there maybe a problem w/ those 3 which are on the side of the cat that was mainly plugged. Also my mechanic said that side was running lean. Any advice in appreciated. Thx

    Testing resistance sometimes will lead you to wrong diagnosis..it is better to swap with another..because sometimes injector will malfunction when it gets hot or running..i have experienced it many time..resistance is in specification but after a few minutes of driving, problem will comes..i checked the data stream while engine is running , i saw that the injector #4 is 0 ms..then when engine is cold the injector have 160 ms.

    Cleaning has no effect on ohm test. Ohm test really just checks that the coil inside the injector is still making a circuit. The coil inside magnetically moves the plunger in the injector to allow petrol to pass. It doesn't tell you anything about wether you have a dirty injector, bad seals, corroded connections, or problems in the harness somwhere.

    "331SVTCobra saidFirst reading was 16.1 ohms. The second reading was 15.9. The difference isn't worth worrying about, but notice that you steadied both probes with your fingers, creating a parallel path, and reducing the resistance." ...that's not true. The parallel path goes across your skin, which is a high resistance, some mega ohms. You can't lower the 16ohms with such a high resistance. Meaning: measuring such low resistances, you can't influence the reading by holding probes with fingers. You can check that by the simple parallel res. equation. The story is different when you measure high resistances, but still, the path through skin is very high res. So you need to measure megaohms to screw the reading by touching the probes.
