Chart A-7 (Part 2)
TEST DESCRIPTION: Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.
5.
Pressure but less than specifications falls into two areas:
^
Regulated pressure but less than specifications; the amount of fuel to injectors is OK, but pressure is too low. The system will be lean running and
may set code E044. Also, possible hard starting cold and overall poor performance.
^
Restricted flow causing pressure drop; Normally, a vehicle with a fuel pressure of less than 165.0 kPa (24.0 psi) at idle will not be driveable.
^
However, if the pressure drop occurs only while driving, the engine will normally surge then stop as pressure begins to drop rapidly.
