8. Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring
connectors.
(a) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the connectors.
(b) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
9. When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter. (a) Carefully take out the water±proofing rubber if it is a
water±proof type connector.
(b) Insert the test probe into the connector from wiring side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(c) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(d) After checking, install the water±proofing rubber on the connector securely.
10. Use SST for inspection or test of the injector, cold start injector or its wiring connector.

FUEL SYSTEM
1. When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a largeamount of gasoline will spill out, so observe the following
procedures:
(a) Put a container under the connection.
(b) Slowly loosen the connection.
(c) Disconnect the connection.
(d) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
2. When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high pressure pipe union, observe the following procedures:
(Union Bolt Type)
(a) Always use a new gasket.
(b) Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(c) Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 15 N Vm (150 kgf Vcm, 11 ft Vlbf)
(Flare Nut Type)
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare nut and tighten
the flare nut by hand.
(b) Using SST, tighten the flare nut to specified torque.
SST 09631±22020
Torque: 30 N Vm (310 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm
(11.81 in.).
3. Observe the following precautions when removing and installing the injectors.
(a) Never reuse the O±ring.
(b) When placing a new O±ring on the injector, take care not
to damage it in any way.
(c) Coat a new O±ring with spindle oil or gasoline before installing±never use engine, gear or brake oil.
4. Install the injector to delivery pipe and cylinder head as shown in the illustration. FI±15

5. Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing anymaintenance on the fuel system.
(a) Using SST, connect terminals +B and FP of the check(ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
SST 09843±18020
(b) With engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) When the fuel return hose is pinched, the pressure within high pressure line will rise to approx. 392 kPa (4
kgf/cm2, 57 psi). In this state, check to see that there are
no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
NOTICE: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may
cause the hose to crack.
(d) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(e) Remove the SST from the check connector.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine.
(c) Check that there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose from the fuel filter.

If there is no pressure, check the following parts:
wFuses
w EFI main relay
w Fuel pump ECU
w Fuel pump
w Engine (& ECT) ECU
w Wiring connections
2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE (a) Check the battery voltage above 12 volts.
(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (±) terminal ofthe battery.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch to ºLOCKº. Discon-
nect the cable from the negative (±) terminal of the bat-
tery. Wait at least 20 seconds before proceeding with
work.
(c) Remove the union bolt holding the deliver pipe to the No. 1 fuel pipe. Remove the two gaskets.
HINT:
w Put a suitable container or shop towel under the delivery
pipe.
w Slowly loosen the union bolt.
(d) Install the No. 1 fuel pipe and SST (pressure gauge) to the delivery pipe with three new gaskets and the union
bolt.

(h) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(i) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure: 265±304 kPa (2.7±3.1 kgf/cm, 38±44 psi)
If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is low, check the following parts:w Fuel hoses and connections
w Fuel pump
w Fuel filter
w Fuel pressure regulator
(j) Remove SST from the check connector.

(k) Start the engine.
(l) Disconnect the vacuum sensing hose from the fuel pressure regulator, and plug the hose end.
(m) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure: 265±304 kPa
(2.7±3.1 kgf/cm, 38±44 psi)
(n) Re c onnect the vacuum sensing hose to the fuel
pressure regulator.
(o) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure: 196±235 kPa
(2.0±2.4 kgf/cm, 28±34 psi)
If pressure is not as specified, check the vacuum sensing
hose and fuel pressure regulator.
(p) Stop the engine. Check that the fuel pressure remains147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2, 21 psi) or more for 5 minutes after
the engine is turned off.
If pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure
regulator and/or injectors.
(q) After checking fuel pressure, disconnect the battery
