Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to step numbers in diagnostic procedure.

3 - Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) must be below operating temperature in order to avoid irregular fuel pressure readings due to hot soak fuel boiling.
6 - If pressure drop value for each fuel injector is within 1.5 psi (10 kPa) of average pressure drop value, fuel injectors are flowing properly. Calculate pressure drop value for each fuel injector by subtracting second pressure reading from first pressure reading. See Fig 1 .
