Injector not working

Good afternoon.

Did you verify power to the injector. with the key on, remove the connector and test for voltage at the connector.

the other wire goes to the pcm. that controls turning the injector on and off by grounding that wire. A tool called a noid light can confirm if it is doing its job. you can get one at the parts store.

Roy

I had done that and even swapped the number one injector to number two, but still the same. I had changed the cylinder head valves at that side but still same issue.

Have already done what?

What were the results? did you have voltage? did the noid light flash with the engine running?

need specific information to help you.

Roy

Yeah the noid light flash please...

Then the injector is working.

What is the original issue that made you think the injector was bad?

Roy

I think misfire can cause this.

yes, there is a lot more to a misfire than the injector.

you need to check compression in the cylinder, check for vacuum leaks and also check the ignition parts such as coil and plug.

Roy

Have checked vacuum leaks, coil and plug as well. i think there is damaged cylinder in that side.

yep, the compression?

Roy

Why don't give me your phone number or your whatsApp number so that we talk directly.

Hello, sorry our experts do not give out there private contact information. Please keep responding to this thread as it may help others as well.

Thank you,

Okay thanks. i think is misfire that causing this so I am going to remove the cylinder head and base pan to check the piston rings and see.

I would do a compression test first to be sure it is an internal issue.

Roy

For now I have done everything on that car but still injector 2 not function. when you removed coil wire on the plug while the engine is running you can see the engine is shaking unless you insert the plug wire on the plug, but the number 2 didn't shake.

You need to do a compression test as I suggested two times.

Roy

What's mean by compression?

The cylinder builds compression for the fuel/air mixture and when spark happens the mixture blows up and forces the piston down.

Roy

We have changed all the piston rings too.

No, that is not it. compression check the valves and the head gasket as well.

You should take this to someone to do this test for you since you have no idea of what it does and how to check it.

Roy

Have already done all, have checked the valves and there was no leakage and I had changed the head gasket as well..

you are not understanding what I am telling you, you need to have the compression tested.

Roy

You are saying the compression I should check the valves and the head gasket isn't it?

No, again, you do not understand. you need to take this to someone to check it for you.

Roy

Okay thanks for your effort. which country are you from?

USA

Roy

Oh nice for meeting you. the reason why am finding difficult to solve the problem is that don't know much on Korea, Japan cars. I am only American cars engineer like; Ford Escape, Explorer, Fusion, Expedition, Lincoln and the red. so am happy to meet you guys.

If I need Ford Explorer 2007 complete chain guards. can you guys please send some to me? because we find it difficult to get some here in Ghana.

you are welcome.

Glad to help.

yes, we can.

Just open a new question on the site and one of us will be glad to help.

Roy

How much do Ford Explorer 2008 control board cost and how can you help me to get it?

Good morning Pat,

You need to start a new question.

The admins want a new question when we go to another vehicle and problem.

I would be happy to help you find the part.

Roy

Okay, thanks.

You are welcome.

We are always glad to help.

Roy

I am mechanic and am working on the vehicle listed above right now, the injector two is not working. I have swapped the number one injector to number two, but still the same. I had even changed the cylinder he's valves but still the same issue. the timing too is well fixed. the coil and the coil wires too working good. so what do you think is the cause of this problem?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If the problem remains at injector two regardless of switching the injector, you need to start by checking if there is an injector pulse to the number two injector.

Here is a link that shows how to check. If you have a noid light, use it to see if there is power to the injector.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-a-fuel-injector

If there is no power, then you need to trace the wiring back to the PCM to determine if there is a corrosion issue, the pin is pushed in on the connector, the wiring to it is bad, or if the PCM has failed.

Let me know what you find.

JOe

There is power coming on the injector. please

All I show is a 2.0L as the smallest for this vehicle. If you have power to the injector and it and a different one doesn't work, then it has to be a bad ground. Have you checked for grounding issues?
