l Engine cranks at normal speed but shows no sign of “firing”
DESCRIP-
*Battery in normal condition

PRECAUTION
Fuel Pressure Release and Servicing Fuel System
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even 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.
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 fuel pump connector and install the rear
seat cushion.
b) Use a rag as protection from fuel spray when disconnect-
ing the 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 fuel pressure
gauge to the fuel filter and the fuel main hose to pre-
vent fuel leakage.

Priming Fuel System
After releasing the fuel pressure for repairs or inspection, the
system must be primed to avoid excessive cranking when first
starting the engine. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the diagnosis connector terminals
F/P and GND
with a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch
ON for approx. 10 sec. and check
for fuel leaks.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the jumper wire.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Fuel Pressure Hold Inspection
Warning
l Before performing the following operation, release
the fuel pressure from the fuel system to reduce the
possibility of injury or fire. (Refer to above.)

SOLENOID VALVE (PRESSURE REGULATOR CONTROL)
Inspection
On-vehicle
1. Start the engine and run it at idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (Orange) from the pressure
regulator. Verify that vacuum is felt.
3. Ground the solenoid valve terminal-wire G/O with a jumper
wire. Verify that no vacuum is felt.
4. If vacuum exists, check the solenoid valve.
Solenoid Valve
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve and
vacuum pipe.
2. Blow through the solenoid valve from port @
3. Verify that air flows from port @.
4. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.
5. Connect battery voltage and a ground to the terminals of
the solenoid valve.
6. Blow through the solenoid valve from the port @.
7. Verify that air flows from the valve air filter.
8. If not as specified, replace the solenoid valve.
