The fuel pressure regulator used is a vacuum bal-
anced, nonadjustable type. The regulator is mounted
on the output end of the fuel rail and is connected to
intake manifold vacuum. The fuel return tube (to the
fuel tank) is connected to the fuel pressure regulator.
The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system
pressure at approximately 214 kPa (31 psi). This is
with vacuum applied while the engine is at idle. Fuel
pressure will be 55-69 kPa (8-10 psi) higher if vac-
uum is not applied to the regulator.
The pressure regulator contains a diaphragm, cali-
brated spring and a fuel return valve (Fig. 33). Fuel
pressure operates on one side of the regulator, while
spring pressure and intake manifold vacuum operate
on the other side. Spring pressure on one side of the
diaphragm tries to force the return valve closed. Fuel
pressure on other side of diaphragm, with assistance
from manifold vacuum on spring side of diaphragm,
act against spring pressure to open the return valve.
System fuel pressure is the amount of fuel pressure
required to force against spring pressure and unseat
the return valve.
Without vacuum applied to the spring side of the
regulator, the spring is calibrated to open the fuel re-
turn outlet. This happens when the pressure differ-
ential between the fuel injectors and the intake
manifold reaches approximately 269 kPa (39 psi).
Since manifold vacuum varies with engine operating
conditions, the amount of vacuum applied to the
spring side of the diaphragm varies. For this reason,
fuel pressure varies, depending upon intake manifold
vacuum. With low vacuum, such as during wide openthrottle conditions, minimal vacuum assistance is
available. Full spring pressure is exerted to seal the
fuel outlet. This causes the system pressure to in-
crease. With high vacuum, such as at engine idle or
during vehicle deceleration, fuel pressure on one side
of the diaphragm is balanced by intake manifold
pressure. This is done on the spring side of the dia-
phragm and results in lower system fuel pressure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4-cylinder and 4.0L 6-cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or incor-
rectly routed wires and hoses should be made. This
should be done before attempting to diagnose or ser-
vice the fuel injection system. A visual check will
help spot these faults and save unnecessary test and
diagnostic time. A thorough visual inspection will in-
clude the following checks:
(1) Verify that the 60-way connector is fully in-
serted into the connector of the powertrain control
module (PCM) (Figs. 1 or 2). Verify that the connec-
tor mounting bolt is tightened to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.(2) Inspect the battery cable connections. Be sure
they are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning
compressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD
relay and radiator fan relay (if equipped) connec-
tions. Inspect starter motor relay connections. In-
spect relays for signs of physical damage and
corrosion. The relays are installed in the power dis-
tribution center (PDC) (Figs. 3 or 4).
(4) Inspect ignition coil connections. Verify that coil
secondary cable is firmly connected to coil (Figs. 5 or
6).
(5) Verify that distributor cap is correctly attached
to distributor. Be sure that spark plug cables are
firmly connected to the distributor cap and the spark
plugs in their correct firing order. Be sure that coil
cable is firmly connected to distributor cap and coil.
Be sure that camshaft position sensor wire connector
is firmly connected to harness connector (Figs. 7 or
8). Inspect spark plug condition. Refer to Group 8D,
