They show PICS of the testing in this auction.

yeah - you can do the same thing, like i said one at a time - you don't need to do them all together as long as you make sure your battery is charged and hooked up to a good charger your pump should deliver the same pressure between runs.

I might try this. I don't have a spare harness to get a connector from but cleaning them out and new filters wouldn't hurt.

that won't hurt - you can also try to send fuel backwards thru them but you need to keep the injector open.

Well I soaked the injectors in Sea Foam overnight. I was expecting to see some fuel injector skeleton's when I checked them in the morning. 
Or atleast some dirty fluid. It looked real clean. So I put some brake cleaner in thru the filter side and blew it out with compressed air. I noticed on a couple of them the brake cleaner sat in the filter basket and took a bit of time to soak thru. You could see some air bubbles come up as it soaked in. Maybe it was these that caused all my issues.
So I swapped them in and fired it up. It started and ran normal thru the warm up cycle. No CEL!
I have not had a chance to get it out on the road but at least it idled normal.

If they were that plugged now that you have the diagnosis, I'd have them professionally cleaned.
I've had it done for < 90 bucks. Used ones may have the same issues so I have them cleaned.

Just a thought.

Ya I don't have alot of confidince in them. There is a local place that will clean, replace O rings and filters and check flow rate for $15@

When you gonna do a build thread on your Jeep? I'd like to see and hear more about it.
What # injectors are you running? 21#?

[dwtaylorpdx]

Lol, I actually don't know at the moment, I had the factory set running at 45 lbs pressure plug up while
on a hunting trip right after I rebuilt the motor., so I bought a set at a shop in the middle of nowhere
off an engine sitting in their shop. Its been running so good since then I am almost scared to touch them..

I have a writeup somewhere....  Gotta find it its more than I want to re-type... :)

I saw this on another forum. Thought it was pretty cool.
When I cleaned mine with brake cleaner I did not get this kind of spray pattern. They are cleaner atleast it runs without issues.

You probably didn't get a spray pattern because you didn't have any pressure.  The guy is pressurizing the syringe with the carb cleaner which is why it dribbles out at times when there is no/low pressure.

That and I didn't have the electrical connector thingy he made to click the injector open and closed.

Scott, I have a champion injector cleaning setup you are more than welcome to use cleans the injectors on the engine works fairly well

Thanks for the offer Art, I think I am OK for now. It runs like it did before I swapped the injectors. So I think I got most of the crud out. I am thinking just because I have it, running a can of Sea Foam in the gas tank. I soaked the injectors in the Sea Foam overnight so there is alot leftover. I guess it wouldn't hurt.

if it runs fine don't do it

Yeah, if it's running fine then it doesn't need it.  Who knows you might break them again.

  Seems like I could break an anvil at times. I think every project I have done I've run into trouble. But that's how you learn.
