If the pump runs, go to step 12.
-
If the pump does not run, test it.
12. Read the pressure gauge. The pressure should be 330 - 382 kPa (3.4 - 3.9 kgf/sq.cm, 48 - 56 psi).
-
If the pressure is OK and engine is running, the test is complete. If the engine is not running, repair the cause, then continue this test.
-
If the pressure is too high, check for a pinched or clogged fuel return hose or line.
-
If the pressure is too low, check for a clogged fuel filter and for leaks in the fuel lines.
-
If the pressure is out of spec and the fuel lines are OK, replace the pressure regulator.
13. Remove the pressure gauge, and reinstall the fuel pulsation damper with a new washer. Tighten the fuel pulsation damper to 22 N.m (2.2 kgf.m,
16 lbf.ft).
NOTE: Disassemble and clean the fuel pressure gauge attachment thoroughly after use.
14. Install the intake manifold cover.
