Checking Fuel Pressure

  2. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose from pressure regulator and immediately note fuel pressure. Record fuel pressure gauge reading. See FUEL PRESSURE  table.
  3. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to fuel pressure regulator. Start engine and watch fuel pressure gauge as vacuum is changed. Fuel pressure should decrease as vacuum increases. If result is not as specified, replace fuel pressure regulator.
