Search. "EFE heater" I believe there is a test procedure. What was wrong with the old one? Before you install the new heater make sure you clean the channels with chemtool b-12. Also you better source the upper and lower gaskets. If the old gaskets are still intact maybe, MAYBE you can reuse them.

Just hook up the red wire terminal of the heater to the ground side of a car battery and the black wire terminal to the positive and see if it gets warm.

What happens when you don't use the fuel heater?

Increases the length of time your engine runs in open loop and increases your emissions. The heater just increases effiency. Oh and it sends a signal to Washington informing them your vehicle is polluting the air needlessly and they inform the man on you.
