Fuel Pressure Check

Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.

NOTE:

Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pressure cannot be completely released because S50 models do not have fuel return system.
Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit (J-44321) to check fuel pressure.

Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE ".
Install the inline fuel quick disconnected fitting between fuel damper and injector tube.

Connect the fuel pressure test gauge (quick connector adapter hose) to the inline fuel quick disconnected fitting.
Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
1. At idling: Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm ² , 51 psi)
If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.

Check the following.
- Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging
- Fuel filter for clogging
- Fuel pump
- Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly.

If NG, repair or replace.
