1995 JEEP YJ fuel pressure

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,

fuel pressure regulator and manifold fitting (Figs. 13
or 14).
(10) Inspect fuel tube quick-connect fitting-to-fuel
rail connections (Fig. 15).
(11) Verify that hose connections to all ports of vac-
uum fittings on intake manifold are tight and not
leaking.
(12) Inspect accelerator cable, transmission throt-
tle cable (if equipped) and cruise control cable con-
nections (if equipped). Check their connections to the
throttle arm of throttle body for any binding or re-
strictions (Fig. 16).
(13) If equipped with vacuum brake booster, verify
that vacuum booster hose is firmly connected to fit-ting on intake manifold. Also check connection to
brake vacuum booster (Fig. 17).

Test the resistance of the wire harness. Do this be-
tween the powertrain control module (PCM) wire
harness connector terminal-2 and the sensor connec-
tor terminal. Also test terminal-4 to the sensor con-
nector terminal. Repair the wire harness as
necessary if the resistance is greater than 1 ohm.
FUEL PUMP RELAY TESTING
For testing this relay, refer to RelaysÐOperation/
Testing in this section of the group.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
TEST
To perform a complete test of the MAP sensor and
its circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test
the sensor only, refer to the following:
Inspect the MAP sensor vacuum hose connections
at the throttle body and sensor. Repair as necessary.
CAUTION: When testing, do not remove the electri-
cal connector from MAP sensor (Fig. 36). Be sure
that the MAP sensor harness wires are not dam-
aged by the test meter probes.
Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the MAP
sensor connector between terminals A and B (as
marked on the sensor body) (Fig. 37). With the igni-
tion switch ON and the engine OFF, output voltage
should be 4-to-5 volts. The voltage should drop to 1.5-
to-2.1 volts with a neutral-hot idle speed condition.
Test the powertrain control module (PCM) (termi-
nal-5) for the same voltage described above to verify
the wire harness condition. Repair as necessary.
Test MAP sensor supply voltage at sensor connec-
tor between terminals A and C (Fig. 37) with the ig-
nition ON and engine OFF. The voltage should be
approximately 5 volts (60.5V). Five volts (60.5V)should also be at terminal-6 of the PCM wire harness
connector. Repair or replace the wire harness as nec-
essary.
Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at sensor con-
nector terminal-A (Fig. 37) and PCM connector termi-
nal-4. Repair the wire harness if necessary.
Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at the PCM
connector between terminal-4 and terminal-11 with
an ohmmeter. If the ohmmeter indicates an open cir-
cuit, inspect for a defective sensor ground connection.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring for location of engine
grounds. If the ground connection is good, replace the
PCM. If terminal-4 has a short circuit to 12 volts,
correct this condition before replacing the PCM.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TEST

(8) Disconnect jumper wires from relay and 12 Volt
power source.
If continuity or resistance tests did not pass, re-
place relay. If tests passed, refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams for additional circuit information. Also re-
fer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual for operation of the DRB scan tool.
STARTER MOTOR RELAY TEST
Refer to Group 8A, Battery/Starting/Charging/Sys-
tem Diagnostics, for starter motor relay testing.
FUEL INJECTOR TEST
To perform a complete test of the fuel injectors and
their circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the injector only, refer to the following:
Disconnect the injector wire connector from the in-
jector. Place an ohmmeter on the injector terminals.
Resistance reading should be approximately 14.5
ohms61.2 ohms at 20ÉC (68ÉF). Proceed to the fol-
lowing Injector Diagnosis chart.When performing
the following tests from the chart, do not leave
electrical current applied to the injector for
longer than five seconds. Damage to injector
coil or internal injector seals could result.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
Refer to the Fuel Delivery System section of this
group. See Fuel System Pressure Test.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (OBD)
The powertrain control module (PCM) has been
programmed to monitor many different circuits of the
fuel injection system. If a problem is sensed in a
monitored circuit often enough to indicate an actual
problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
The DTC will be stored in the PCM memory for even-
tual display to the service technician. If the problem
is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels the
DTC after 51 engine starts.Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trou-
ble code (DTC) to be entered into PCM memory. The
criteria may be a specific range of engine rpm, engine
temperature and/or input voltage to the PCM.
It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into memory even though a mal-
function has occurred. This may happen because one
of the DTC criteria for the circuit has not been met.
Example: assume that one of the criteria for the
MAP sensor circuit is that the engine must be oper-
ating between 750 and 2000 rpm to be monitored for
a DTC. If the MAP sensor output circuit shorts to
ground when the engine rpm is above 2400 rpm, a 0
volt input will be seen by the PCM. A DTC will not
be entered into memory because the condition does
not occur within the specified rpm range.
A DTC indicates that the powertrain control mod-
ule (PCM) has recognized an abnormal signal in a
circuit or the system. A DTC may indicate the result
of a failure, but never identify the failed component
directly.
There are several operating conditions that the
PCM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non-Monitored
Circuits in this section.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The powertrain control module (PCM) can detect
certain problems in the fuel injection system.
Open or Shorted Circuit- The PCM can deter-
mine if sensor output (which is the input to PCM) is
within proper range. It also determines if the circuit
is open or shorted.
Output Device Current Flow- The PCM senses
whether the output devices are hooked up.
If there is a problem with the circuit, the PCM
senses whether the circuit is open, shorted to ground
(-), or shorted to (+) voltage.
Oxygen Sensor- The PCM can determine if the
oxygen sensor is switching between rich and lean.
This is, once the system has entered Closed Loop. Re-
fer to Open Loop/Closed Loop Modes Of Operation in
the Component Description/System Operation section
for an explanation of Closed (or Open) Loop opera-
tion.
NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) may not be displayed for these
conditions.
Fuel Pressure:Fuel pressure is controlled by the
vacuum assisted fuel pressure regulator. The PCM
cannot detect a clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged
in-line fuel filter, or a pinched fuel supply or return
