Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection
1. Connect a jumper wire between the two black/yellow wires at the fuel pump cutoff relay connector.
WARNING: Do not smoke during the test. Keep any open flame away from your work area.
2. Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter in the engine compartment, and connect a pressure gauge to it as shown.
3. Turn ignition ON until pressure stabilizes, then turn key OFF. Pressure should be 13.8-20.6 kPa (2-3 psi).
a. If gauge shows at least 13.8 kPa (2 psi) go on to step 4.
b. If gauge shows less than 13.8 kPa (2 psi), replace pump and re-test.
NOTE: Check for a clogged fuel filter and/or fuel line before replacing pump.
4. Remove pressure gauge and hold a graduated container under the hose.
5. Turn ignition ON, measure amount of full flow for 60 seconds, then turn ignition OFF. Fuel flow should be more than 450cc (15 oz.) in 60
seconds with battery voltage at 10 volts minimum.
a. If fuel flow is 450cc (15 oz.) or more in 60 seconds, reconnect cut-off relay and fuel hose.
