Fuel Injector Balance Test Example (Typical)
| Cylinder | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Reading | 296 kPa (43 psi) | 296 kPa (43 psi) | 296 kPa (43 psi) | 296 kPa (43 psi) |
| 2nd Reading | 131 kPa (19 psi) | 117 kPa (17 psi) | 124 kPa (18 psi) | 145 kPa (21 psi) |
| Amount of Drop | 165 kPa (24 psi) | 179 kPa (26 psi) | 172 kPa (25 psi) | 151 kPa (22 psi) |
| Average Range: 156-176 kPa (22.5-25.5 psi) | Injector OK | Replace fuel injector - too much fuel pressure drop | Injector OK | Replace fuel injector - too little fuel pressure drop |
