13EOF3-31 To prevent vaporlock in the fuel system during hot restart idle, a two-stage pressure regulator is adoped
to the new 323 4WD.
Low temperature operation: The vacuum to the pressure regulator (A and B ports) is cut (solenoid valve
[low temp.] UN), and the fuel injection pressure is increased to 284 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm2, 41 psi ) ,
High temperature operation: The vacuum to the pressure regulator (A port) is cut (solenoid valve [high
temp.] ON), and the fuel injection pressure is increased to 343 kPa [ 3.5 kgf/cm2, 49 psi 1.

PRECAUTIONS
Fuel Pressure Release and Servicing Fuel System
Fuel
in the fuel system remains under high pressure when the engine is not running.
a) Before disconnecting any fuel line, release the fuel pres-
sure from the fuel system to reduce the possibility of injury
or fire as discribed below.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the rear seat cushion buttons and remove the
cushion.
3. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
4. After the engine stalls, turn off the ignition switch.
5. Reconnect the fuet pump connector and install the rear
seat cushion.
b) Use a rag as protection from fuel spray when disconnect-
ing the fuel hoses.
Plug the hoses after removal.
c) When inspecting the fuel system, use a suitable fuel pres-
sure gauge.
Caution
l install hose clamps to secure the fuet pressure
gauge to the fuei fitter and the fuel main hose to pre-
vent fuel leakage.
Pinching Hose
When pinching an air hose-or a fuel hose with pliers, wrap
the hose with a rag to prevent damage,
