9. Measure fuel pressure while the engine is running at idle.
Standard value: Approx. 230 kPa (33 psi) at curb idle
10. Disconnect and plug the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and measure fuel pressure with the hose end closed by a finger.
Standard value: 289 - 309 kPa (42 - 45 psi) at curb Idle
11. Check to see that fuel pressure at idle does not drop even after the engine has been raced several times.
12. Racing the engine repeatedly, hold the fuel return hose lightly with fingers to feel that fuel pressure is present in the return hose.
NOTE: If the fuel flow rate is low, there will be no fuel pressure in the return hose.
13. If any of fuel pressure measured in steps 9 to 12 is out of specification, troubleshoot and repair according to the table above.
14. Stop the engine and observe fuel pressure gauge reading. Normal if the reading does not drop within 2 minutes. If it does, observe the rate of drop
and troubleshoot and repair according to the table above.
15. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line.
16. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and special tool from the fuel rail.
