- Start the engine, and let it idle.
- Apply the tip of a screwdriver [A] to the fuel injector. Put the grip end onto your ear, and listen whether the fuel injector is clicking or not.
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).
