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.

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.

indicates no vacuum.
a li there is vacuum, check the throttle cable (see
page 1 1-'l 18, 119).
Check that vacuum is indicated on the gauge when
the throttle is opened slightly from idle.
a lf the gauge indicates no vacuum, check the throt-
tle body port. lf the throttle body port is clogged.
clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Stop the engine and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
a lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
- Excessive wear or Dlav in the throttle valve shaft.
Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close po-
