Fuel Pressure Regulator
- If fuel pressure gauge is already attached, go to next step. If not, disconnect banjo coupling at inlet to fuel injection manifold. Connect fuel pressure gauge at this point, using existing seals. Ensure pressure gauge hangs vertically.
- Connect Pressure Gauge (83 93 514 ), with "Y" connection, to vacuum port of fuel pressure regulator. Hang pressure gauge vertically. Connect cooling system pressure tester to "Y" connection.
- Turn ignition off. Remove fuse No. 30 on 900 models. Remove fuse No. 14 and No. 22 from 9000 models. Connect a jumper lead between fuse No. 27, 28, or 29 and slot of fuse No. 30 for 900 models. Connect the jumper between fuse No. 22 and slot of fuse No. 14 on 9000 models. This will provide current to the fuel pump. Turn ignition on.
- Line pressure should rise to approximately 35 psi (2.5 kg/cm2
). Using a pressure tester, raise system pressure to various test pressures, and compare line pressure to specification. Refer to the APPLIED PRESSURE REGULATOR SPECIFICATIONS
table.APPLIED PRESSURE REGULATOR SPECIFICATIONS
Applied Pressure: psi (kg/cm2 ) Line Pressure: psi (kg/cm2 ) 0 (0) 35.0 (2.5) 2.8 (.2) 37.8 (2.7) 5.6 (.4) 40.6 (2.9) 8.4 (.6) 43.4 (3.1) - Remove pressure tester. Install vacuum pump to "Y" connection. Line pressure should be at approximately 35 psi (2.5 kg/cm2
). Use vacuum pump to create various test vacuums, and compare vacuum readings to specification. See APPLIED VACUUM REGULATOR SPECIFICATIONS
table.APPLIED VACUUM REGULATOR SPECIFICATIONS
Applied Vacuum In. Hg Line Pressure: psi (kg/cm2 ) 0 (0) 35.0 (2.5) 2.8 32.2 (2.3) 5.6 29.4 (2.1) 8.4 26.6 (1.9) - Turn ignition on to operate fuel pump. Verify fuel line pressure of 35 psi (2.5 kg/cm2 ). Turn ignition off. Check pressure gauge reading. Pressure should drop 1.4-2.8 psi (.1-.2 kg/cm2 ), and then hold steady for at least 10 minutes.
- If pressure drops more than specified, check for leakage in pressure regulator and fuel pump non-return valve.
