Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Also, if I want to make sure my injectors are performing correctly, what
methodologies are used to test injectors? If I want to test injectors what
kind of place should I contact to make sure they are working?
You are giving me theories to the gas wash and it's helpful but you also
know my state of understanding, please extend the information by letting me
know what methodologies would provide a satisfactory result.
Thanks,
Bill

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
There are others here likely more qualified to answer that Bill, but a
couple things come to mind.
First off is you don't need the silly dyno to make an engine run right.
Nobody had dynos before emissions testing, gee I wonder how we made then
run back then.
That is something like a Dentist coming after you with a camera to show
off the before and after as he takes your first born for the teeth
work... (the local newspaper did an article and said when you see the
dentist coming with a camera, run fast unless you just won the lottery)
Each cylinder needs to be monitored as well as the O2 sensor.
Injector Pulse timing, fuel pressure and maybe flow rate, spark quality
(strength), exhaust temp at the manifold are some things.
Those are just guesses, others likely know.
The rough emissions testing is just fine for a carb, which is that
shop's specialty, but even that can be done just fine static by rpm
instead of with the tires turning.
I have had emissions done static, followed immediately by the dyno test
and the engine read almost exactly the same.

couple things come to mind.
First off is you don't need the silly dyno to make an engine run right.
Nobody had dynos before emissions testing, gee I wonder how we made then
run back then.
That is something like a Dentist coming after you with a camera to show
off the before and after as he takes your first born for the teeth
work... (the local newspaper did an article and said when you see the
dentist coming with a camera, run fast unless you just won the lottery)
Each cylinder needs to be monitored as well as the O2 sensor.
Injector Pulse timing, fuel pressure and maybe flow rate, spark quality
(strength), exhaust temp at the manifold are some things.
Those are just guesses, others likely know.
The rough emissions testing is just fine for a carb, which is that
shop's specialty, but even that can be done just fine static by rpm
instead of with the tires turning.
I have had emissions done static, followed immediately by the dyno test
and the engine read almost exactly the same.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
I would be wanting to read the pulses on a scope. The pulse timing
shows if everything electrical is working. Like below, if 5 are short
and the last one is long or no pulse or pulsing at the wrong time, etc.
At the same time I would be wanting to see the spark strength.
I would then be watching the leak down very closely when shut off to
eliminate dirt holding an injector open.
Didn't you have carb issues before putting the injection on with
flooding?
Your damage could have happened then.

shows if everything electrical is working. Like below, if 5 are short
and the last one is long or no pulse or pulsing at the wrong time, etc.
At the same time I would be wanting to see the spark strength.
I would then be watching the leak down very closely when shut off to
eliminate dirt holding an injector open.
Didn't you have carb issues before putting the injection on with
flooding?
Your damage could have happened then.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
I would be wanting to read the pulses on a scope. The pulse timing
shows if everything electrical is working. Like below, if 5 are short
and the last one is long or no pulse or pulsing at the wrong time, etc.
At the same time I would be wanting to see the spark strength.
I would then be watching the leak down very closely when shut off to
eliminate dirt holding an injector open.

flooding?
