Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Pressure Test
Special Tools Required
-
Fuel Pressure Gauge 07406-004000B
-
Fuel Pressure Gauge Attachment Set 07AAJ-S6MA150
1. Relieve the fuel pressure See: Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Release/Service and Repair.
2. Attach the fuel pressure gauge set and the fuel pressure gauge.
3. Start the engine, and let it idle.
-
If the engine starts, go to step 5.
-
If the engine does not start, go to step 4.
4. Check to see if the fuel pump is running: Listen to the fuel filler port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when
the ignition switch is first turned to ON (II).
-
If the pump runs, go to step 5.
-
If the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit troubleshooting See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel Pump Circuit Troubleshooting.
5. Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be 392-441 kPa (4.0-4.5 kgf/cm2, 57-64 psi).
-
If the pressure is OK, the test is complete.
-
If the pressure is out of specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator See: Fuel Pressure Regulator/Service and Repair and the fuel filter
See: Fuel Filter/Service and Repair, then recheck the fuel pressure.
