Default testing injectors
just need to clarify the method to test these. To test for constant 12v all i need to do is pull the cap of the top of injectors? The injectors themslves dont need to be touched? Many thanks luke

Normally you would probe the cap for 12v on one of its pins, with the ignition on.

Yes, test from car chassis earth to either pin, you should get 12v on one of the pins
