The fuel lines used on all models covered by this
manual are quite straight forward. Typically the fit-
tings are either rubber hoses connecting to steel lines
with clamps, or steel lines connecting to steel lines
using retaining bolts or flare fittings. Several fittings
are unique such as the banjo-bolt fitting on the fuel

The Multi-Point Injection (MPI) system is electroni-
rally controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM),
based on data from various sensors. The ECM controls
the fuel flow, idle speed and ignition timing. fuel pipe is installed.
Fuel is supplied to the injectors by an electric in-
tank fuel pump and is distributed to the respective in-
jectors via the main fuel pipe. The fuel pressure ap-
plied to the injector is constant and higher than the
pressure in the intake manifold. The pressure is con-
trolled by the fuel pressure regulator. The excess fuel
is returned to the fuel tank through the fuel return pipe.
When an electric current flows in the injector, the
injector valve is fully opened to supply fuel. Since the
fuel pressure is constant, the amount of the fuel in-
jetted from the injector into the manifold is increased
or decreased in proportion to the time the electric
current flows. Based on ECU signals, the injectors in-
ject fuel to the cylinder manifold ports in firing order. Fuel injection systems remain under pres-
sure after the engine has been turned OFF.
Properly relieve fuel pressure before discon-
neeting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may
result in fire or personal injury.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Loosen the fuel filler cap to release fuel tank
pressure.
I
The flow rate of the air drawn through the air
cleaner is measured by the air flow sensor. The air
enters the air intake plenum or manifold through the
throttle body. In the intake manifold, the air is mixed
with the fuel from the injectors and is drawn into the
cylinder, The air flow rate is controlled according to
the degree of the throttle valve and the servo motor
openings. The system is monitored through a num-
ber of sensors which feed information on engine con-
ditions and requirements to the ECM. The ECM cal-
culates the injection time and rate according to the
signals from the sensors,
Safety is the most important factor when perform-
ing not only fuel system maintenance but any type of
maintenance. Failure to conduct maintenance and re-
pairs in a safe manner may result in serious personal
injury or death. Maintenance and testing of the vehi-
cle’s fuel system components can be accomplished
safely and effectively by adhering to the following
rules and guidelines.
l To avoid the possibility of fire and personal in-
jury, always disconnect the negative battery cable un-
less the repair or test procedure requires that battery
voltage be applied.
l Always relieve the fuel system pressure prior to
disconnecting any fuel system component (injector,
fuel rail, pressure regulator, etc.), fitting or fuel line
connection. Exercise extreme caution whenever re- Observe all applicable safety precautions
when working around fuel. Whenever servic-
ing the fuel system, always work in a well
ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or va-
pors to come in contact with a spark or open
flame. Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher
near the work area. Always keep fuel in a con-
tainer specifically designed for fuel storage;
also, always properly seal fuel containers to
avoid the possibility of fire or explosion.
3. For the Mirage, Diamante, and 1994-00
Galant, remove the rear seat cushion, then remove
the service cover and detach the fuel pump harness
connector.
4. For the 1990-93 FWD Galant, detach the fuel
pump harness connector located in the area of the
fuel tank. It may be necessary to raise the vehicle to
access the connector.
5. For the 1990-93 AWD Galant, remove the car-
pet from the trunk, locate the fuel tank wiring at the
pump access cover, then detach the wiring.
6. Start the vehicle and allow it to run until it
stalls from lack of fuel. Turn the key to the OFF posi-
tion.
7. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then at-
tach the fuel pump connector. Install the access .
cover, cushion or carpet as necessary.
8. Wrap shop towels around the fitting that is be-
ing disconnected to absorb residual fuel in the lines.
9. Place shop towels into proper safety container. Fig, 8 Detach the connector for the throttle
position (TP) sensor
93153ps5 Fig, 9 Remove the accelerator cable end
from the throttle lever
Fig. IO Remove the hose shown here from
lieving fuel system pressure to avoid exposing skin,
face and eyes to fuel spray. Please be advised that
fuel under pressure may penetrate the skin or any
part of the body that it contacts.
l Always place a shop towel or cloth around the
fitting or connection prior to loosening to absorb any
excess fuel due to spillage. Ensure that all fuel
spillage (should it occur) is quickly removed from
enginesurfaces. Ensure that all fuel soaked cloths or
towels are deposited into a suitable waste container.
l Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire ex-
tinguisher near the work area.
l Do not allow fuel spray or fuel vapors to come
into contact with a spark or open flame.
l Always use a backup wrench when loosening’
and tightening fuel line connection fittings. This will
prevent unnecessary stress and torsion to fuel line
piping. Always follow the proper torque specifica-
tions. REMOVAL &INSTALLATION

1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure as
outlined earlier in this section.
2. Drain the engine cooling system into a suit-

3. Matchmark the jocation of the adjuster bolt
on the accelerator cable mounting flange. This will
assure that the cable is installed in its original loca-
tion. Remove the throttle cable adjusting bolt and
disconnect the cable from the lever on the throttle
body. Position cable aside.
