My 1996 GMC Sub has a slight miss, which I suspect is a bad injector. I have done some injector swapping around and haven't hit the right one (if this is indeed the problem...). (Injector swapping in this truck is a bit painful on the passenger side bank! The less, the better...)
I have an AutoEnginuity interface to my laptop, which will perform the test--I can shut off any one of the injectors, which is pretty neat! However, I would like to see a pronounced drop vs. NON-drop in engine speed when I shut off the offending unit, but I don't see such a difference. Has anyone got a procedure that would help to pinpoint my problem with this equipment setup? As info, I have the timing set as close as I can to the recommended (by you folks, not my Friendly GMC Shop!) -1.94 deg., and it seems to run a bit rough vs. factory spec. This might make it hard to spot the change in RPM. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
