Pressure Test: Electrical

  1. Most vehicles use a fitting to allow pressure test without separating fuel lines. If not, separate fuel line from injector inlet "T". Install a "T" connector with a pressure gauge in the line and reconnect line to injector.
  2. Hold pressure gauge about 16" (406 mm) above fuel pump. Pinch off fuel return line (if equipped) using care not to damage hose. Start engine and observe pressure.
  3. After pressure check, reconnect steel line. If pressure is not within specifications or varies greatly, replace fuel pump.
