Fuel System Pressure Test

NOTE: For fuel pump circuit testing, see FUEL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT in NO START DIAGNOSIS .
  1. Turn ignition off. Install tee adapter and pressure gauge at injection pump. Start engine and measure fuel pressure.
  2. If fuel pressure is not 4 psi (.28 kg/cm2 ), check fuel lines and fuel tank sending unit for restriction. If fuel lines and sending unit are okay, replace fuel pump.
