Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Pontiac Aztek, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. 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.

  1. 3

    Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) must be below operating temperature in order to avoid irregular fuel pressure readings due to hot soak fuel boiling.
  2. 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 Figure.
