1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm wirh
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
3. Check the idle speed with no-load conditions: head-

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Precautions
!@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
system, Keep open flames away from your work a.ea'
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connects
the in tank fuel pump with the fuel feed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is neces-
sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to lollowing:
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during
welding or other heat-generating procedures
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fitlings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/
quick connect liltings assembly, be careful not to
bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnecled,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused
once it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the
retatner wnen
. Replacing the fuel pump.
. Replacing the fuel leed pipe.

2. Check the tuel quick-connect tittings for dirt, and
clean if necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
o Be carelul not to damage the pipe or other pans
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
. Do not remove the retainer from the pape; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

Fuel Supply System
System Description
The fuel supply system consists of a fuel tank, in-tank
high pressure fuel pump, PGM-FI main relay, fuelfilter,
fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors. and fuel delivery
and return lines. This system delivers pressure-regu-
lated fuel to the fuel injectors and cuts the fuel delivery
when the engine is not running.
Fuel Pressure l'96 Modelsl
Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release pres-
sure from the system by loosening the 6 mm service
bolt on top of the fuel filter.
. Do not smoke whil6 working on the fuel system.
Kgsp opon flames or sparks away from youl work
area.
. Be sure to relieve fuel pressure while the ignition
switch is off.
1. Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset
buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the bat-
tery negative terminal.
3. Remove the fuelfill cap,
4. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at
the fuel filter while holding the special banjo bolt
with another wrench,
5. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.
6, Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete
rurn.
. A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm
service bolt hole.
. Always reDlace the washer between the service
bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the ser-
vice bolt is loosened.
. Replace all washers whenever the bolts are
removeo.

FUELPRESSUREGAUGE07406 - 00ir0(x)1
Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure with the
engine idling and the vacuum hose of the fuel pres-
sure regulator disconnected from the fuel pressure
regulator and pinched. lf the engine will not start,
turn the ignition switch ON (ll), wait for two sec-
onds, turn it off, then back on again and read the
fuel pressure.
Pr€3sure should bo:
260 - 310 kPa (2.7 - 3.2 kgt/cmr, 38 - 46 psi)
Reconnect vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator,
Pressure should bo:

lf the fuel pressure is not as specified, first check the
fuel pump {see page 11-2361. lf the fuel pump is OK,
check the following:
. lf the fuel pressure is higher than specified,
inspect for;- Pinched or clogged fuel return hose or line.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-234).. lf the fuel pressure is lower than specified, inspect
for:- Clogged fuelfilter.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator {see page 11-234).- Fuel line leakage.
