Fuel Delivery System











The fuel injection supply manifold:
- delivers fuel to the individual fuel injectors.
- receives fuel from the fuel supply line.
- returns unused fuel to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.







The throttle body:
- controls air supply to the upper intake manifold by positioning the throttle plate.
- connects the accelerator cable and if equipped speed control actuator cable to the throttle plate
- is not adjustable.
- cannot be cleaned.







NOTE: If O-rings need to be replaced, use the replacement parts.

The fuel injectors:
- are electrically operated by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- atomize the fuel as the fuel is delivered.
- are deposit-resistant.
- Each has an internal solenoid that opens a needle valve to inject fuel into the lower intake manifold.







The fuel pressure relief valve is used to inspect and relieve fuel pressure.







The fuel pressure regulator:
- Maintains a constant fuel pressure throughout the fuel system and to the fuel injectors.
- Is spring-loaded and operated by intake manifold vacuum.







The (A) A/C compressor clutch control relay (if A/C equipped):
- is controlled by the powertrain control module.
- Interrupts A/C clutch operation during engine start or manual transmission clutch engagement to reduce engine load.







The (A) fuel pump relay engages the fuel pump when energized by the powertrain control module.
