When injectors have fuel pressure behind them and get voltage they should spray. I don't know if the Mustang computers spray before the car physically turns over, but some cars do.<br /><br />As far as the solenoids go... are you referring to vacuum solenoids, or electrical relays? Relays are square with wires running to them. Solenoid are of various shapes and have wires plus vacuum lines running to them. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,28,14,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> everything you described as clicking is perfectly normal in a good running car.<br /><br />if you want to track down a battery drain, pull all of your fuses, hook up a voltmeter showing DC amps, and connect it in-line between the positive battery terminal and the positive battery cable.<br /><br />Add 1 fuse at a time and watch the meter, if it goes up and carries a constant load, you found the circuit that has the drain on it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>lxhatch5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 6319</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,28,18,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> YFivePointSlow its the Relays got confused thanks for clearing that up for me.
