The fusl supply system consists ot a fuel tank, in-tank
high presssure fu6l pump, PGM-FI main relay, fuel filter,
tuel pressure regulatot, fuel inioctors, fusl pulsation
damper and fuol delivery and return linss. This system
delivers pressure-regulatored fu6l to the fu6l injectors and
cuts the fuel delivory wh6n the engine is not running.

a lf the fuel pressure is not as specified, first check the
fuel pump (see page 1 l - 1 1O). lf the fuel pump is oK,
check the following:
- lf the fuel pressuro is higherthan specified, inspect for:
. Pinched or clogged tuel return hose or line.
. Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-106)
- It the fuel p.essu.e is lower than specitied, inspect fo.:
. Clogged fuel tilter.. Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page '11-106).
. Leakage in the fuel line.

The Fuel Injectors a.e a solenoid-actuated constant-stroke pintle type consisting of a solenoid, plungel n€edle valvs and
housing. When cur.ent is applied to the solsnoid coil, the vslve litts up and pressurized fuel is injected. Because the nee-
dle valve litt and the luel pressure are constant, the iniection quantity is determined by the length of time that the valv€
is open (i.e., the duration the cu.rent is supplied to the solenoid coill. The Fu€l Iniector is sealed by an O-ring and seal
ring at the top and bottom. These seals also reduce operating nois6.
