A sound scope can also be used.

The click interval becomes shorter as the engine speed rises.

• Do the same for the other fuel injectors.

If all the fuel injectors click at a regular intervals, the fuel injectors are normal.

• Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

If any fuel injector does not click, check the fuel injector resistance (see Fuel Injector Resistance Inspection).
