RE: [DML] Fuel Injectors - Are they easy to test for spray pattern?

["Tom Tait" <TTait@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Easy, no.  But its do-able.  Its about as hard as the spark plugs.  You
will experiment a little till you find a tool that makes it easier to
release the clips - start by trying a small allen key held with pliers.
A fairly small standard screwdriver helps too.  Start with the injector
closest to you on your left side as you face the engine - that one is
easiest.  Move on from there.

 

Before John H. posts that he will test and clean your injectors for you,
I'll do him the favor of saying it for him.

 

Note my post just now on clutch work,  it can apply here too.  Its
easier to get to the injectors with the intake manifold off,  but the
injectors can be serviced without going that far easier than the clutch
slave can.

 

Keep us informed.

 

Tom

Once I remove the air 
filer components, is access easy to the injectors to pull them and 
test them out?
