CHECKING RESIDUAL PRESSURE 

Residual pressure 10 minutes after switching off the engine:
^

Cold engine: 2.2 bar (32 psi) minimum

^

Warm engine: 3.0 bar (44 psi) minimum

NOTE: 

Higher pressure for a warm engine is normal and is the result of thermal expansion of the fuel.

If residual pressure is not OK, perform following tests
-

Check pressure tester connections for leaks.

-

Check fuel lines for leaks.

-

Check fuel pump check valve.

-

Check fuel injectors for leaks.

If there are no leaks and the fuel pump check valve is OK:
-

Replace fuel pressure regulator.

-

Repeat residual pressure test.
