Is that the only way of doing it? I'm just trying to trouble shoot some problems. I figured there would atleast be a resistnace check or something.

A quick way is to apply voltage to the injector and see if it clicks. Just use a 12v battery and some wires.

Ahh ****.



You're a moderater, delete my post. I thought you meant primary rail. That's my cue for bed.

I believe the high-impedance injectors will measure 12 to 14 Ohms on your VOM. Mine were all dead on 12. I will have them back from RC Engineering any day now...
