Clogged Injector?
I recently aquired an 87 GTA that is slowly being put back on the road after sitting for 5 years.
The #8 cylinder is not firing. I know there is spark. The injector has power and it checks with a meter. I assume it is clogged or some other mechanical problem. I put in some lucas injector cleaner but I have only run about 1 gallon of gas since dumping it in.
Here is the question. Should I run the rest of the tank of gas then see what happens or just go ahead and change the injector. Thanks

Re: Clogged Injector?
did you check the injectors with an ohm meter? unplug the connectors and test them.
i believe they should be around 16 ohms... im sure some one else will chime in...

If you do decide to change it, do all 8.
