Fuel Pressure Test

Special Tools Required 

• Fuel pressure gauge 07406-004000B
• Fuel pressure gauge attachment set 07AAJ-S6MA150

1. Remove the fuel tank unit (see FUEL TANK UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).
2. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting. 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 on.
   • If the pump runs, go to step 5.
   • If the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit troubleshooting (see FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING  ).
5. Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be 330-380 kPa (3.4-3.9 kgf/cm² , 48-55 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 REPLACEMENT  ) and the fuel filter (see FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT  ), then recheck the fuel pressure.
