hey how do i find out if my injectors are working right because my car is running really lean and i know it is getting proper fuel pressure to the fuel rail and it is getting spark. also i when i took the spark plugs out it had smoke flowing out of it. and smoke smelled like a weird burned smell.
thank you

the smoke is probably oil. But have you checked to make sure your o2 sensor is functioning. Cuz that would cuase a lean condition

 

uuh ooh thats reeeally lean.

I thought generally o2 sensors would cause a rich condition?

 

if you hada bad injector it more than likely would make the car not only run lean, but run like horrible $hit, you wouldnt be getting enough fuel into the engine

 

it does run horriable it doesent even start. it just cranks over and back fires alot while cranking and then the car will start but only stay at about 300-500rpms and it will buck and back fire like crazy.

 

and the burning smelll smells more like metal burning then oil burning.

 

it smells like that because your lean so your EGT's are way hotter than they should be.

I would check the ohms on all the injectors by pulling the clip out of it and touching to the two pins on the harness.

 

Catalitic converter??? Would heat up and run bad.
O/2 sensor goes bad the car will usually richen up. What does the tail pipe look like. Clean, soot,
