Fuel Pressure
- Relieve fuel system pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE. Attach Fuel Pressure Gauge Set (J-34730-1 ) and Adapter (J-35957-1 ) to outlet side of fuel filter. Disconnect pressure regulator vacuum hose. Turn ignition on. Allow fuel pump to run for about 2 seconds.
- Fuel system pressure should be about 41-46 psi (2.8-3.2 kg/cm2 ). Start engine and check for leaks. Connect pressure regulator vacuum hose. If engine will not start, fuel pump relay can be by-passed. Also see appropriate CHART A-3, ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN under TROUBLE SHOOTING CHARTS. With engine idling, fuel pressure should be 25-30 psi (1.8-2.1 kg/cm2 ).
NOTE:
To test fuel pump relay circuit, proceed to appropriate CHART A-5, FUEL PUMP RELAY CIRCUIT under TROUBLE SHOOTING CHARTS.
