Jeff, you are right in all that; however, you can't possibly sit there and deny the fact that running constant 12 Volts through a coil that is meant to be pulsed with fuel rushing thought it for an extended period of time just to "test" it is a good idea. I understand your experience and understand your view point; however, I disagree and think its a terrible idea.

Why not just take 4 bolts off that any monkey could get to, pull 6 sticky lookin things out and put the new sticky lookin things back where the others came from is any easier than trying to hook 12V from a battery to an injector. Its just stupid.
