Fuel Pressure Check: Notes

Basic diagnosis of fuel system should begin with determining fuel system pressure. If fuel pump is inoperative, see appropriate FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TEST CHART in this article.

WARNING: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. If connecting fuel pressure gauge to fuel system without using a "T" connector, DO NOT operate fuel pump for more than a few seconds. Operating fuel pump for longer than a few seconds under this condition damages fuel pump.
