Fuel Pressure
CAUTION:
Constant fuel pressure is maintained in fuel lines and component parts at all times. Relieve pressure before attempting to open system for testing. Do not allow fuel to flow onto engine or electrical parts or allow an open flame in area while testing fuel system components.
- Release fuel system pressure. Remove fuel supply line at cold start injector and connect fuel pressure gauge. Disconnect vacuum hose from pressure regulator and connect hand vacuum pump to regulator. Turn ignition on and check pressure reading. See FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Apply 16 in. Hg to pressure regulator. Reading should drop about 7 psi (.5 kg/cm2 ). If pressure is too low, check fuel pump delivery rate. If pressure is too high, check fuel return line. If readings are still not as specified, replace regulator.
