Replacement
r@. Do not smoke whilc working on fuel system. Keep
open flame away from your work arsa.
. While replacing the tuel filter, be catelul to koep a
sale distance betwoen battery torminals and any
tools.
The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel
pressure drops below the specified value [260 - 310 kPa
12.7 - 3.2 ksl/cm',38 - 46 psi), |270 - 320 kPa (2.8 - 3 3
kgf/cm,, 40 - 47 psi))* with the fuel pressure regulator
vacuum hose disconnected and pinchedl after making
sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator
are OK. *: 81642 engine
1. Place a shop towel under and around the fuelfilter.
2. Relieve fuel pressure (see pages 11-230,231]-
Remove the 12 mm banjo bolt and the fuel feed
pipe from the fuel filter, while supporting it with the
another wrench, as shown.
Remove the fuel filter ciamp and fuel filter'
lnstall the new fuel filter in the reverse order
removal, and note these items:
a When assembling, use new washers as shown
. Clean the flared joint of high pressure hoses
thoroughly before reconnecting them.

Testing
!@ Do not smoke during the test, Keep open
flame away from your work atea,
lf you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the
fuel pump actually runs; when it is ON (ll), you will hear
some noise if you hold your ear to the fuel fill port with the
fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for two
seconds when ignition switch is first turned ON (ll). lf the
fuel pump does not make noise, check it as follows:
L Remove the seat cushion {see section 20).
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the Iueltank 2P connector.
4. Connect the PGM-FI main relay 7P connector termi-
nal No. 4 and No. 5 with a jumper wire.

PGM-FlMain Relay
Description
The PGM-Fl main relav actuallv contains two individual
relays. This relay is located at the right side of the cowl.
One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which
supplies the battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power to
the luel iniectors, and power for the second relay. The
second relay is energized lor two seconds when the igni-
tion is switched ON (lll, and when the engine is running,
to supply power to the luel pump.

NOTE:
. It the engine starts and continues lo run. the PGM Fl
main relay is OK.
. Use the terminal numbers below;
ignore the terminal numbers molded into the relay,
1. Remove the PGM Fl main relay.
2. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 2 ter-
minal and the battery negative terminal to the No 1
terminal of the PGM-Fl main relay. Then check for
continuity between the No.5 terminal and No 4ter-
minal of the PGM Fl main relay.
