jector terminal in the harness connector. Repeat pro-
cedure for 2 to 3 injectors.
FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
The fuel pump assembly consists of the fuel pump
and the reservoir body. The reservoir body takes the place of an internal
fuel tank reservoir. The reservoir maintains fuel at
the pump inlet during all driving conditions, espe-
cially when the fuel level is low. The system uses a positive displacement, gerotor
gear, immersible pump with a permanent magnet
electric motor (Fig. 5). The pump draws fuel through
a strainer and pushes it through the electric motor to
the outlet. The pump contains three check valves.
One valve relieves internal fuel pump pressure and
regulates maximum pump output. Another valve, in-
side the pump assembly in the fuel return circuit,
prevents fuel tank leakage if the line is damaged
during an accident. The third valve, in the pump out-
let, maintains pump pressure during engine off con-
ditions. The fuel pump relay provides voltage to the
fuel pump. All pumps have a maximum stall pres-
sure output of approximately 930 kPa (135 psi). All front wheel drive car fuel systems, except
Turbo III and flexible fuel AA-body vehicles use the
same fuel pump. Turbo III and flexible fuel AA-Body
vehicles each use different fuel pumps although they
look similar to pumps used in other vehicles. Release fuel system pressure before servicing the
fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, or parts of
the fuel rail. Follow the Fuel System Pressure Re-
lease procedure to relieve fuel system pressure.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
Fuel system pressure is regulated at the fuel rail
or throttle body by a fuel pressure regulator. Refer to
the Fuel System Pressure Chart for pressure specifi-
cations. The chart reflects system pressure when the
pump is energized with the engine not running and
without vacuum applied to the pressure regulator.
FUEL PUMP PRESSURE TESTÐALL EXCEPT
2.2L/2.5L TBI AND 3.0L MPI
WARNING: RELEASE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
BEFORE SERVICING FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
WHEN SERVICING FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES,
WEAR METHANOL RESISTANT GLOVES AND EYE
PROTECTION AND AVOID BREATHING FUMES. DO
NOT ALLOW METHANOL/GASOLINE MIXTURES TO
CONTACT SKIN. SERVICE VEHICLES IN WELL VEN-
TILATED AREAS AND AVOID IGNITION SOURCES.
NEVER SMOKE WHILE SERVICING THE VEHICLE.
The specifications in the Fuel Pressure chart re-
flect system pressure with the vacuum hose removed
from the pressure regulator. (1) Remove the vacuum hose from the pressure
regulator before checking fuel pressure. (2) Release fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel
System Pressure Release procedure in this section. (3) Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge C-4799 to service
port on fuel rail (Fig. 6).
CAUTION: When using the ASD Fuel System Test,
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay remains energized
for either 7 minutes, until the test is stopped, or un-
til the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
(4) Place the ignition key in the ON position. Us-
ing the DRBII scan tool, access ASD Fuel System
Test. The ASD Fuel System Test will activate the
fuel pump and pressurize the system. If the gauge reads the specification listed in the
Fuel System Pressure chart, further testing is not re-
quired. If pressure is not correct, record the pressure
and remove gauge. Use the DRBII scan tool ASD
Fuel System Test to pressurize the system. Ensure
fuel does not leak from the fuel rail service valve. In-
stall protective cover on fuel rail service valve. If pressure is below specifications, proceed to Fuel
System Pressure Below Specifications . If pres-
sure is above specifications, proceed to Fuel System
Pressure Above Specifications .
Fuel System Pressure Below Specifications
If the fuel pressure reading in step (4) was below
specifications, test the system according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
WARNING: RELEASE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
BEFORE DISCONNECTING A FUEL SYSTEM HOSE
OR COMPONENT.
(a) Perform Fuel Pressure Release procedure.
(b) Install Fuel Pressure Gauge C-4799 and Fuel
Pressure Test Adapter 6539 in the fuel supply line
between the fuel tank and fuel filter at the rear of
vehicle (Fig. 7). (c) Using the DRBII scan tool, with the ignition
key in the ON position, repeat the ASD Fuel Sys-
tem Test.

² If pressure is at least 5 psi higher than reading
recorded in step (4), replace fuel filter. ² If no change is observed, gently squeeze the re-
turn hose. If fuel pressure increases, replace pressure
regulator. If gauge reading does not change while
squeezing the return hose, the problem is either a
plugged inlet strainer or defective fuel pump. Fuel System Pressure Above Specifications
If the fuel pressure reading in step (4) was above
specifications, test the system according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
WARNING: RELEASE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
BEFORE DISCONNECTING A FUEL SYSTEM HOSE
OR COMPONENT.
(a) Perform Fuel Pressure Release procedure.
(b) Remove the fuel return line hose from the
fuel pump at fuel tank. (c) Connect Fuel Pressure Test Adapter 6541 to
the return line (Fig. 8). Place the other end of
adapter 6541 into an approved gasoline container
or a container approved for methanol/gasoline mix-
tures (minimum 2 gallon size). All return fuel will
flow into container. (d) Using the DRBII scan tool, with the ignition
key in the ON position, repeat the ASD Fuel Sys-
tem Test.
² If pressure is now correct, replace fuel pump as-
sembly. ² If pressure is still above specifications, remove
fuel return hose from chassis fuel tubes (at engine).
Attach Fuel Pressure Test Connect Adapter 6541 to
the fuel return hose and place other end of hose in
clean container (Fig. 9). Repeat test. If pressure is
now correct, check for restricted fuel return line. If
no change is observed, replace fuel pressure regula-
tor.

The specifications in the Fuel Pressure chart re-
flect system pressure with the vacuum hose removed
from the pressure regulator. Remove the vacuum line
from the pressure regulator on 3.0L engines before
testing fuel system pressure. The pressure regulators
on 2.2L/2.5L TBI engines are not vacuum assisted. (1) Perform fuel system pressure release.
(2) Remove fuel supply hose quick connector from
the chassis lines (at the engine). (3) Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge C-4799 to Fuel
