[QUOTE="superpsd, post: 1442798, member: 15821"] A buzz test is the easiest way to confirm a injector with low armature clearance as you will hear a muted injector when cold. In fact after a few buzz tests the injectors may fire off running on all 8. I had tried this a few times with worn poppets. My worn poppets didn't care that it was the middle of summer they still started horribly. It will run better an smoother as it warms up. Or lay your foot down ICP will spike and force the injector to actuate correctly. Hence the light switch effect of a engine running rough then bang its running smoothly. An injector that had upper seat wear but OK clearance will start well but be low on power and have low ICP once up to temp as the thinner oil can leak much easily pass the upper seat. An injector that runs rough hot or cold can likely be fuel side damage. [/QUOTE]
