Warm Engine Control Pressure Test

NOTE: Connect pressure testing gauge and valve in same manner as for Cold Engine Control. Pressure Test. Keep pump relay bridged.
  1. Be sure to connect control pressure regulator electrical plug, previously removed. OPEN valve. See Figure.
  2. Start engine and idle until fuel pressure stabilizes. Reading should be 48-54 psi (3.4-3.8 kg/cm2 ).
    NOTE: On Audi 5000, pressure should be 49-53 psi (3.5-3.8 kg/cm2 ) with control pressure regulator vacuum hose connected; 39-43 psi (2.8-3.1 kg/cm2 ) with hose disconnected.
  3. If control pressure does not increase enough, remove plug from control pressure regulator and connect a test lamp across terminals. If lamp does not light, either power or ground connection is bad. If lamp lights with engine idling and pressure is too low, replace regulator.
