[V6-12v] Dead Skip

[David Torrey]

Tom -

I removed the electrical lead from the faulty injector  and installed a lamp into the connector at the end of the lead.  Fired up the engine and saw the lamp pulsing on and off.  Assume now that the problem is the injector.  I am a little concerned about the others now.  They were all replaced 10 years ago.
