      CAUTION:
      • Disconnect the fuel tube connector (quick type) observing the precaution (see SFI SYSTEM ).
      • As there is retained pressure in the fuel line, prevent it from splashing inside the engine compartment.
    3. Purchase a new fuel tube. Remove the fuel tube connector from its pipe.

      Fuel tube: Part No. 23901-22110

      CAUTION: Disconnect the fuel tube connector (quick type) observing the precautions (see SFI SYSTEM ).
    5. Install the grommet and O-ring to the injector.
    6. Connect SST (union and hose) to the injector.

    7. Put the injector into a graduated cylinder.
      CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl hose onto the injector to prevent gasoline from splashing out.
    8. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.

      1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      2. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
      3. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
        NOTE: Do not start the engine.
      4. Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.

        HINT:

        Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

        If you have no hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector (see FUEL PUMP ).

    9. Connect the battery to the injector with SST (wire) for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with a graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

      Injection volume: 

      76 to 92 cm 3  (4.6 to 5.6 cu in.) per 15 seconds. Difference between each injector: 16 cm 3  (1.0 cu in.) or less 

      If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector.

  2. INSPECT LEAKAGE 
    1. In the above condition, disconnect the tester probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leak from the injector.

      Fuel drop: 1 drop or less per 12 minutes. 

    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
    4. Remove SST and fuel tube connector.

    5. Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
    6. Reconnect the fuel tube (fuel tube connector).
      CAUTION: Disconnect the fuel tube connector (quick type) observing the precaution (see SFI SYSTEM ).
