pressure is bleeding past the (in-tank mounted) fuel
pump outlet check valve. Replace Fuel Pump Module
assembly. Refer to Fuel Pump Module removal and
installation in this group. If pressure drop is within
specifications, proceed to next step.
(13) Clamp off the rubber hose portion of adapter
tool number 6631 connected to the fuel supply line.
Allow engine to set for 30 minutes. If pressure has
dropped more than 138 kPa (20 psi) in 30 minutes,
pressure is bleeding past the fuel pressure regulator.
Replace fuel pressure regulator. Refer to Fuel Rail
removal and installation in the Component Removal/
Installation section of this group.
MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
Mechanical malfunctions are more difficult to diag-
nose with this system. The powertrain control mod-
ule (PCM) has been programmed to compensate for
some mechanical malfunctions such as incorrect cam
timing, vacuum leaks, etc. If engine performance
problems are encountered and diagnostic trouble
codes are not displayed, the problem may be mechan-
ical rather than electronic.
FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter protects the fuel injectors and fuel
pressure regulator from dirt, water and other foreign
matter. The filter is located under the vehicle along
the frame rail (Figs. 13 or 14). Replace fuel filter at
intervals specified in the Lubrication and Mainte-
nance Schedule chart found in Group 0, Lubrication
and Maintenance.

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the fuel
pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module in the
Fuel Delivery System section of this group.
FUEL TANK PRESSURE RELIEF/ROLLOVER VALVE
The fuel tank is equipped with a pressure relief/
rollover valve (Fig. 8). The dual function valve will
relieve fuel tank pressure and prevent fuel flow
through the fuel tank vent tubes in the event of ac-
cidental vehicle rollover.
The valve consists of a plunger, spring and orifice/
guide plate (Fig. 9). The valve is normally open allowing
fuel vapor to vent to the EVAP canister. Here it is
stored until it can be consumed by the engine (undercontrolled conditions). The plunger seats in the guide
plate at the orifice preventing liquid fuel from reaching
the EVAP canister. This is done if bottom of plunger is
contacted by fuel sloshing in tank when vehicle is cor-
nering.
In the event of accidental vehicle rollover, the valve
is inverted. In this position the plunger is forced
against the guide plate and raw fuel is prevented
from flowing through the valve orifice into the fuel
tank vent tube.
REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE PRESSURE RELIEF/
ROLLOVER VALVE, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL PRES-
SURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN THIS GROUP.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove the fuel filler cap and drain fuel tank.
Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.
(3) Remove fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.
(4) The rollover valve is seated in a grommet. Re-
move by prying one side upward and then roll the
grommet out of tank (Fig. 8).
INSTALLATION
(1) Start one side of grommet into opening in fuel
tank. Using finger pressure only, press valve/grom-
met into place.
(2) Install fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Installation.
(3) Fill fuel tank. Install fuel tank filler cap.
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
(5) Start vehicle and check for leaks.
