Pressure Drop Calculation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Subtract the minimum pressure from the starting pressure for one fuel injector. The result is the pressure drop value.
  2. Obtain a pressure drop value for each fuel injector.
  3. Add all of the individual pressure drop values except for the injector suspected of being faulty. This is the total pressure drop.
  4. Divide the total pressure drop by the number of fuel injectors that were added together. This is the average pressure drop. The difference between any individual pressure drop and the average pressure drop should not be greater than 20 kPa (3 psi).
    • If greater than the specified value, replace the fuel injector, E-85 only. All other engine, refer to Fuel Injector Cleaning .
