Fuel Supply System

Fuel Injector Resistor (A/T)

Description

The fuel injector resistor lowers the current supplied to

the fuel injectors to prevent damage to the fuel injector

coils. This allows a faster response time of the fuel injec-

tors.
Testing

1. Disconnect the fuel injector resistor connector.

2. Check for resistance between each of the fuel injec-

tor resistor terminals (2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8) and the

power terminal (5).

Terminal side of male terminals

Replace the fuel injector resistor with a new one if

any of the resistances are outside of the specifica-

tion.ProCarManuals.com
