This vehicle has an intermittent misfire that we are trying to locate. Here we will be focusing on the injectors, making sure they do not have any flow problems (restrictions or leaks) An external timer tool will be used to fire the injectors at exact intervals while watching fuel pressure drops on a pressure gauge. Since we cannot get to the injector connectors directly, we will be using a main bulk connector to access the injector control wires. This same procedure can be applied to many different systems.
