6.Fuel System Testing
It is necessary to add more accurate engine fuel control to a low injection automobile.
Since 1980, the automotive manufacturing industry has used electronically-controlled
carburetor and fuel injection so as to achieve lower fuel injection.
(1) GM (General Motor): Testing the dwell of the C-3 mixed-control solenoid: Place the
solenoid in a cylinder, monitoring the ratio between the air and the fuel, which should
generally be 14.7 to 1 between the air and the fuel so as to reduce the injection of
surplus fuel. The testing is used to see if the solenoid is installed right in the position
and the dwell of the meter can also indirectly used for the testing.
[1] Start the engine of the automobile to achieve a rotation speed of 3000 RPM.
So far as a GM automobile is concerned, set the rotary switch to the DWELL and
select 6CYL.
[2] When the automobile is operating in a short fuel state or in a long fuel state, the
dwell of the meter should be displayed between 10° and 50°.
(2) Fuel Injector Resistance Testing (see figure 21)
The testing method is similar to that of the resistance of an ignition coil.
[1] Cut the electric link off the injector. (Refer to the servicing handbooks of various
kinds of automotive manuals for the detailed position.)
[2] Connect the red and black test lead probes to the two ends of the injector. The
