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.
