what stops fuel injectors from firing?
my pressure at the Shrader valve is 40.5 psi.A bulb or noid light will tell me if the computer/sensors are ok. But if for instance there's corrosion of the fuel rail itself due to ethanol it won't tell me that (and yes I need to stick a bulb in one receptacle to test for pulses, haven't gotten around to it). As Magilla from the School of ExceptionallyTalented Gorillas has pointed out, this car is 21 years old. The fuel rail is aluminum, and can rot out due to the additive.

[1] Without such things as cult-like following, anti-Japanese bias, etc, the US motor vehicle industry would have disappeared in the 1970's. -- T0m $herm@n |
