Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.
- Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.
- Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customers concern. A fuel injector condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

| 1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? | - | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls |
| 2 | Observe the ECT sensor parameter with a scan tool. Is the ECT sensor parameter within the specified range? |
10-32°C (50-90°F) | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 |
| 3 | Measure the resistance of each fuel injector with a DMM. Refer to Testing for Continuity
in Wiring Systems. Do any of the fuel injectors display a resistance outside the specified range? |
11-14 ohm | Go to Step 6 | Go to Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool or Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2 |

- | Go to Step 7 | - |
| 6 | Replace the fuel injector or fuel injectors that are out of the specified range. Refer to Fuel Injector Replacement
. Did you complete the replacement? |
11-14 ohm | Go to Step 7 | - |
| 7 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? |
- | System OK | Go to Step 2 |
