Engine speed and idle quality changes should be equal for all cylinders. If changes are not equal, check ignition system or perform further diagnostics. See the TESTS W/O CODES or the TESTS W/CODES article.

CAUTION: To avoid possible vehicle fire, wrap shop towel around fitting to absorb fuel spillage. NOTE: If injectors are dirty, they should be cleaned using approved injector cleaning procedure before performing FUEL INJECTOR BALANCE TEST.
