buzzzzzzzzzz.....do the buzz test.

my kid did a buzz test at school on my injectors and #7 didnt sound right. so he proceeded to pull valve cover and found the loose UVC connector prob and fixed with the ford kit. redid the buzz and all sounded good. closed everything back up and started...yea. NO SES light. and i thought the worst.BAD INJECTOR but no just loose connection.


now do you all think the dealer would have been honest or do you think they would have tried to bill for an unneeded injector?

so am i........ my boy did it at high school. he said its a signal sent to the injector and the injector makes a specific buzz/pop sound. he said you could hear it signal each injector. said he listened and heard one injector make a different sound leading him to that cylinder head bank. said their diagnostic machine told him #7 cylinder. then i told him to watch for the uvc connector when he figured on going for the injector. he found, he fixed, he buzzed again. sounded better. buttoned her up. no ses light.no rough motor. his machine is so advanced that he checked alot of my sensors and circuits. too bad he graduates(hopefully) in 2 months.........
