The known-good waveform in Fig. 13 is from a Chrysler 3.0L V6
PFI VIN [3]. It is a perfect example of the peak and hold theory. The
waveform shows a 1-amp per division current flow, ramping to 4 amps
and then decreasing to 1-amp to hold the injector open.Fig. 13: Injector Bank w/Normal Current Flow - Current Pattern
EXAMPLE #6 - CURRENT CONTROLLED DRIVER
This next known-good waveform is from a Ford 5.0L V8 CFI VIN
[F]. See Fig. 14. The pattern, which is set on a 250 milliamps scale,
indicates a 1.25 amp peak draw and a hold at 350 milliamps.Fig. 14: Single Injector w/Normal Current Flow - Current Pattern
EXAMPLE #7 - CURRENT CONTROLLED DRIVER
The known-good current controlled type waveform in Fig. 15 is
from a GM 2.0L TBI VIN [1]. With the lab scope set at 2 amps per
division, notice that this system peaks at 4 amps and holds at 1 amp.

The next waveform is from the same type of engine, except
that it shows a faulty injector. See Fig. 16. Notice that the current
went to almost 5 amps and stayed at 1 amp during the hold pattern.
Excessive amounts of current flow from bad injectors are a common
source of intermittent computer shutdown. Using a current waveform
pattern is the most accurate method of pinpointing this problem.Fig. 15: Single Injector w/Normal Current Flow - Current PatternFig. 16: Single Injector w/Excessive Current Flow - Current Pattern
EXAMPLE #8 - CURRENT CONTROLLED DRIVER
This known-good CPI system waveform from a GM 4.3L V6 CPI VIN
[W] peaks at 4 amps and holds at 1-amp. See Fig. 17 for waveform.

VOLTAGE WAVEFORM SAMPLES
EXAMPLE #1 - VOLTAGE CONTROLLED DRIVER
These two known-good waveform patterns are from a Ford 4.6L
V8 VIN [W]. Fig. 18 illustrates the 64 volt inductive kick on this
engine, indicating no clamping is occurring. The second pattern,
Fig. 19, was taken during hot idle, closed loop, and no load.

EXAMPLE #4 - CURRENT CONTROLLED DRIVER
From 1984 to 1987, Chrysler used this type injector drive on
their TBI-equipped engines. See Fig. 22 for a known-good pattern.
Instead of the ground side controlling the injector, Chrysler
permanently grounds out the injector and switches the power feed side.
Most systems do not work this way.
These injectors peak at 6 amps of current flow and hold at 1
amp.

EXAMPLE #5 - CURRENT CONTROLLED DRIVER
These two known-good waveform patterns are from a Chrysler 3.
0L V6 VIN [3]. The first waveform, Fig. 23, is a dual trace pattern
that illustrates how Chrysler uses the rising edge of the engine speed
signal to trigger the injectors. The second waveform, Fig. 24, was
taken during hot idle, closed loop, and no load.
