all 4 pulsed?...i still wouldnt trust that injector. i would plug 3 injectors into the car then stick the "bad" injector into your tester thing plugged into the car harness and turn the car on and let it run. see how much or if it fires anything...

yeah the main idea was to see if all 4 pulsed or not. We made sure the beer bottles were empty so we could set them side by side to compare the amount in each and I was satisfied with how close they were together. I really don't care about this engine so I'll try to throw em in once I figure out my damn ostrich. If they give me ---- i'll replace that one.

I noticed the iffy one had a removable screen and the other three had a pressed in one, weird.

why wouldn't we be cleaning them? last night was just a quick test, but I planned on doing it again when I had more time. This time I plan on putting a them in a spare fuel rail and the tubes on the bottom. That way I can play with both 'fuel' and 'manifold' pressures, see if there is anything that is letting these run fine out of the car and giving us problems in the car. I can play with duty cycle simply with crome.

That is hella ghetto. I like it. What does cleaning them cost professionally?

no clue, they were supposedly cleaned and there was a sheet in the box that came with em. I pretty much set this up to see if the mystery injector will function or not. My next step is to seal the bottom and plumb it to a regulator to simulate boost pressure and crank up the fuel pressure, then put a higher duty cycle on it.
