Would the ohm readings of a set of injectors give indication which injector flows more or less fuel?
For example, if one injector read 11.8 ohms and another had a reading of 11.5 ohms, would one injector flow more fuel than the other?
I wanted to know because if the ohm reading is an indicator of fuel flow, the highest flowing injector could be installed in cylinder 4, which runs hotter than the others.
I realize that fuel-flow testing is the best way of knowing exactly what each of the injectors flow but I thought this might be a "poor man's" way of getting the engine a bit more balanced.
injectors: ohm reading related to fuel flow?

Injectors are just like a relay. the coil side is just activating a valve that is on the fuel side. Pretty basic and not related.

So, if injector A reads 11.9 ohms and injector B reads 11.6 ohms, is injector B technically a "better" injector or perhaps one that will have the coil last longer?AWD_addict wrote:I agree, there's only one useful flow characteristic you can measure like that. If an injector reads way over 12 ohms, it will not flow at all because the coil is bad.

The FSM lists the specified resistance is 11-12 ohms, so they're both within specifications.93Leg-c wrote:So, if injector A reads 11.9 ohms and injector B reads 11.6 ohms, is injector B technically a "better" injector or perhaps one that will have the coil last longer?
