Hey guys,
	I don't think that K-Jet injectors make a clicking sound quite like 
electronic injectors (maybe a little), so don't be alarmed if you 
don't hear anything except the rush of gasoline through an orifice.  
Electronic fuel injection injectors click because they have a 
solenoid inside that is opening and closing _VERY_ quickly.
