  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, refer to the DTC TROUBLESHOOTING .
  5. Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be 390-440 kPa (4.0-4.5 kg/cm2 , 57-64 psi).
