  7. Apply battery (2) voltage to injector (1) for 15 seconds and measure injected fuel volume with graduated cylinder. Test each injector two or three times. If not within specification, replace injector.

    Injected fuel volume 

    About 71.8 - 76.2 cc/15 sec. (2.43 - 2.57/2.53 - 2.68 US/Imp. oz./15 sec.) at 20 °C, 68 °F
