[Vwdiesel] starting problem testing injectors

[paul lew]

Hi
  Me again
  Does anyone have a way of testing/inspecting the injectors without the pressure machine mentioned in the book, or taking them somewhere, as this is my only transportation ,so when the're pulled, i'm not drivin.
   
  There's one thing I'm thinking about trying...
  If the cylinder compression is low when cranking ,then the exhaust threoretically should be too, so I'm going to check what kind of pressure comes out when cold trouble starting ,then when it's running and hot, disconnect the fuel pump solenoid lead and compare pressure.
  I'll also compare the air intake this way.
  Hopefully it will tell me something about overall compression. 
  exercise in futility??? thoughts???
