WS1Petrol Fuel Injector Testing
Injector Pulse Time ON/OFF
First we tested the injector using the Oscilloscope to see the waveform showing the injector pulse open and closed. At one cylinder we can see the injector's duty cycle at the engine idle.
We also measure the injector voltage with the Ignition Off, Ignition On, and engine idle. One other test is using a screwdriver, attach on top of the injector and check for click sound as the injector is open and closed.
Record battery voltage 13.54v
Injector voltages Test:
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
12.00volts | 13.00volts | 13.00volts | 12.00volts | Volts |
In the engine idle, the injector firing indicates by the LED tester, As the injector is ground by the ECM to fire, the test light also grounded showing on the video the LEDs flashing as the injector pulse open and closed.
LED tester
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
Ok | Ok | Ok | Ok | Tick if flashes |
Engine at Idling (In Duty Cycle %)
With engine idling, we record the injectors firing by using a multi-meter set to read % (duty cycle). Showing each injectors operate at 98.6% (duty cycle)
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
98.6% | 98.6% | 98.6% | 98.6% | Duty Cycle % |
Again with the multi-meter still set to read % (duty cycle), we accelerate the engine short and fast throttle opening. This would give us maximum % reading and the RPM.
Accelerate engine (Duty Cycle %)
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
64.1% | 87.1% | 60.1% | 68.8% | Duty cycle |
Here we set the multi-meter to read Hz, and with the engine idling, It showing the time of each injector
Engine Idling (Hz)
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
12Hz | 12Hz | 13Hz | 13Hz | Hz |
With the multi-meter still set to read Hz, we increase the engine RPM and watch the Hz changes rabidly increase. The highest reading from each cylinder is recorded.
RPM Increase (Hz)
Cyl #1 | Cyl #2 | Cyl #3 | Cyl #4 | |
36Hz | 36Hz | 42Hz | 48Hz | Hz |
Formula calculate
“Pulse width ms= (% Duty cycle x100)/Frequency”
Engine idle:
Cyl1) 98.6% / 100/12Hz = 0.0821ms
Cyl2) 98.6% / 100 / 12Hz = 0.0821ms
Cyl3) 98.6% / 100 / 13Hz = 0.0758 ms
Cyl4) 98.6% / 100 / 13Hz = 0.0758 ms
Acceleration (revved up):
Cyl1) 64.1% / 100 / 36Hz = 0.0178ms
Cyl2) 87.1% / 100 / 36Hz = 0.0241ms
Cyl3) 60.1% / 100 / 42Hz = 0.01430ms
Cyl4) 68.8% / 100 / 48Hz = 0.01433ms
does your open time for your injectors look right? remember that your multi-meter in duty can read the high or low time this will change the formula
