- 【Test 2 Injectors Simultaneously】Fuel injector cleaner tester can help you diagnose and clean injectors, easily identify common faults such as stuck, blocked, leaked or burnt-out conditions of the fuel injector. Compared with other fuel injector cleaner and tester with only one pair of pulse output teminals(black&red test lead), our fuel injector tester has 2 pulse output teminals(two pairs of test leads), which can test two fuel injectors at the same time for comparison.
- 【8 Pulse Modes & Mode Lock Feature & LCD Display】The fuel injector tester kit is designed with LCD display and 8 pulse modes, which composed of 4 pulse signal output modes and 2 output voltage levels: Short/ Medium/ Long/ Continuous pulse modes + High/Low(12V/5V) power drive modes. This fuel injector cleaning machine can help you to identify good and bad injectors when the engine is off. You can choose any mode as your needs. And its mode lock feature ensures test condition uniformity.
- 【4 Size Adapters&Wide Compatibility】Our injector cleaner is compatible for 12V injectors of almost all vechicle models, for both EFI and GDI injectors.It comes with a large and a small size universal adapters compatible for injectors of most models(except B.MW A.udi),so we newly add 2 adapters to expand its compatibility:a medium size adapter suitable for models such as V.W, A.udi, etc.and another one with threaded hole is exclusively for BMW N series such as N14/N18/N20/N26/N53/N54/N55/N63/S63.
- 【40inch Power Cord & 20inch Test Lead】The length of power cord is up to 40inch/100cm and its test lead is 20 inches,which is more convenient for you to connect and use. The wires are made of superior silica gel, which has better high and low temperature resistance. Fuel injector cleaning kit is powered by 12V battery or an external DC 12V (recommended at least 1.5A) power adapter. It works with engine off and can work with any fuel pressure tester(NOTE: Gasoline car only, NOT the diesel engine).
