Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Fuel PressureINSPECTION
CAUTION:
^ Before removing the fuel pressure gauge, release the fuel pressure.
^ Be careful not to spill fuel.
^ Catch the fuel from hoses using a container or cloth.
1) Remove the collector cover.
2) Release the fuel pressure.
3) Open the fuel filler lid and remove the fuel filler cap.
4) Disconnect the fuel delivery hose from fuel damper, and connect fuel pressure gauge.
5) Start the engine.
6) Check the fuel pressure while disconnecting pressure regulator vacuum hose from intake manifold.
NOTE:
^ The fuel pressure gauge registers 10 to 20 kPa (0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm2, 1 to 3 psi) higher than standard values during high-altitude operations.
^ If the fuel pressure is out of specification, check or replace the fuel pump, fuel line, pressure regulator and pressure regulator vacuum hose.
Fuel pressure:
Standard
328 - 358 kPa (3.3 - 3.7 kgf/cm2, 48 - 52 psi)
7) After connecting the vacuum hose to the pressure regulator, measure the fuel pressure again.
NOTE:
^ The fuel pressure gauge registers 10 to 20 kPa (0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm2, 1 to 3 psi) higher than standard values during high-altitude operations.
^ If the fuel pressure is out of specification, check or replace the fuel pump, fuel line, pressure regulator and pressure regulator vacuum hose.
Fuel pressure:
Standard
274 - 304 kPa (2.8 - 3.1 kgf/cm2, 40 - 44 psi)
8) After inspection, install the related parts in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
1.25 Nm (0.1 kgf-m, 0.9 ft-lb)
