1996 powerstroke injector?

Does anybody know a better way to check for a cracked injector nozzle without pulling every injector individually? Or a way to at least point me in the right direction? It's a 1996 7.3 in an f350 Thanks

Disconnect each injector and maybe the one leaking won't make s change in RPM when running.

What makes you think you have a cracked nozzle???

I have never heard of such a thing.

He has either s cracked nozzle are sn injector hanging open. He has a steady stream of white smoke that smells like raw fuel and unplugging them one at a time doesn't get rid of it. OP Its best to keep to keep a issue to one thread.

I had a cracked nozzle and didn't even know it until Jim had them on his flow bench how bad they really were. IMO you will not be able to do anything but beat your head against a wall until you bite the bullet and have someone who knows something look into them.

Could a buzz test perhaps point to a suspect injector?

In his other thread I explain to him to call Jim and he would point him in the right direction

Buzz test just test the electronic side of the injector. Idm, wiring, solenoid and poppet valve. A CCT might help you if you know what you're doing

Another test would be pointing a temp gun on each cylinder on the exhaust manifold and see which cylinder is running hotter.

Good luck with that. Lots of shops say they know everything about a 7.3 . Most probably couldn't point them out in a pile full of 6 cylinders. I agree with most on here. Call Jim at rosewood and discuss it with him.

Everyone keeps saying that. But I feel like someone needs to physically look at it I'll call him and talk to him though
