Preparation For Testing

All CIS systems are very sensitive to air leaks. Check condition of rubber boots, hoses, and gaskets. Other areas of leakage are injectors, cold start valve, and PCV system (filler cap and dipstick).
Install a pressure gauge to perform fuel pressure tests. On all models, pressure gauge is installed between the control pressure regulator and the center fitting on fuel distributor. See Fig 1 .

Fig 1: Pressure Gauge Installation After installation, bleed pressure gauge by opening and closing valve several times.
To operate fuel pump with engine not running, disconnect fuel pump relay from relay panel. Insert a jumper wire into sockets that correspond to terminals 30 and 87 on relay. See Fig 2 .
On models so equipped, disconnect safety switch connector on air flow sensor.

To operate fuel pump, turn ignition on. Place pressure gauge as low as possible in engine compartment, then open and close valve 5 times to bleed gauge. Place valve in open position and hang in convenient location. Turn pump off.
