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.

NOTE: Eefore disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release
pressure from the system by loosening the 6 mm se.-

1 . Disconnect the battery negative cable from the bat-
tery negative terminal.
NOTE: The LS and GS-R model radio may have a

After service, reconnect Dowe. to the radio and turn
it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed. enter
the customer's s-digit code to restore radio

2. Remove the fuel fill cap.
3. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at
the fuel tilter, while holding the special banjo bolt
with another wrench.
4. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.
5. Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete

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.

PGM-Fl Main Relay
Doscription
The PGM-Fl main relav actuallv contains two individual
rerays.
This relay is located at the lett side of the cowl.
One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which
supplies the battery voltage to the ECM, power to the
fuel injectors, and power for the second relay.
The second relay is energized for 2 seconds when the
ignition is switched on, and when the engine is running,
to supply power to the fuel pump.
