Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for balancing a plurality of fuel injectors via a diagnostic. In one example, a method may include adjusting a fuel injection pattern to increase an occurrence of a fuel injection being preceded by a same-cylinder bank fuel injection. The method may further include skipping fuel injections resulting in the fuel injection being preceded by an opposite-cylinder bank fuel injection.
