Pico Scope: Measuring Fuel Injector Pressure Drop

Pico Scope: Measuring Fuel Injector Pressure Drop

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
I take you through the process I use to check fuel injectors on a car that is setting lean codes. After eliminating all possible variables and determining it is a fuel delivery issue we need a way to prove it. Let's have a look. gregp05: I got the same tool for injector balance, but like you say, no known good to compare results with leaves you only being able to compare to the other injectors in the car. Great video! I like the look of the new pico software.

Wow, lots to unpack in this video, an entire course summarized in a 12 minute video. Excellent! On the second set it is interesting to see the duration of low pressure was so much shorter in the second one tested, I wonder why. Is that just an artefact made by difference in when the fuel pump reacted? With all the effort to get at those, I would replace all and move on. A digital graph beats analog readings, nice to see another use for pressure transducer technology.

Before you give all of the thumbs down and negative comments because I am using modern technology to repair a car keep in mind I run a professional repair shop and I am not a DIY'er. Thanks for considering that first. -Enjoy!

I made myself laugh! You said Pico Scope, but I heard Fecal Scope, and was thinking that you were performing a Colonoscopy on the car. I hope that the car has Insurance, because American Car Health Care is cost-prohibitive!

This was interesting. Would you post a follow-up when it is finished? And if you replace some or all of the injectors, I would be interested to know which brands of injectors you find OK, and which brands you hate?

Hehe I love the smoke 'em if you got 'em attitude to the picoscope vs an analogue gauge! We just got a transducer at the school where I teach the trade, but I haven't had the chance to play with it yet!

I just got a p0171 haven't figured it out yet. Replacing fuel filter, cleaning mass airflow and see if it goes away. It's funny that your had a vid at same time. Your karma ran over my dogma.

Thanks for the video. I just think that since at the beginning you said it has lean code, points towards 5 plugged injectors and maybe 1 better one, rather than 1 giving too much.

Eric: I've got a dropout, injector 5! (Whoop! Whoop) I can't hold her, she's plugged up! she's plugged up!
Great work identifying the issues, Dr. O!

Curious, what did the customer want done, and, the results. Thanks for all the great videos and the comic relief.
