set ohm meter to 2000, placed leads on terminals on the injectors...reads a 15. All four read the same and the mechanic had replaced one with a new one. So I am assuming all is good.

Re: hesitation and missing on acceleration

when I had out the injectors, I sprayed them with carb cleaner and tried to let them soak. I really did not see dirt. I didnt know about the ohming process until after I put it all back together.

Re: Cylinder 4 missfire and lean

How did you determine that you needed to replace a fuel injector and which one was bad?

My ranger 4cyl has hesitation when applying gas. I have checked about everything suggested

Re: hesitation and missing on acceleration

I will have to give that a try. I hate the idea of tearing the motor back down. Some of those bolts are a pain.

Re: Cleaning fuel injectors

I got the injectors out and sprayed them with carb cleaner. I dont know how much good it did. Sprayed the injector ports and all. Put back together. Not much difference. What a waste.
