28 N·m (285 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf) for SST
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(c) Observe the following precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(1) Never reuse the O−ring.
(2) When placing a new O−ring on the injector, take
care not to damage it in any way.
(3) Coat a new O−ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing−never use engine, gear or brake oil.
(4) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake
manifold as shown in the illustration.

(h) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
(i) Reconnect the negative (−) terminal cable to the battery.
(j) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(k) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
301 − 347 kPa (3.1 − 3.5 kgf/cm

If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is low, check these parts:
Fuel hoses and connections
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
(l) Remove the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the DLC3.
(m) Start the engine.
(n) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
301 − 347 kPa (3.1 − 3.5 kgf/cm

(p) Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5
minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure:
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm
2, 21 psi) or more
If pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure
regulator and/or injectors.
(q) After checking fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (−)
terminal cable from the battery and carefully remove the
SST to prevent gasoline from splashing.

ery pipe.
(c) Temporarily install the 2 bolts holding the delivery pipe to

(d) Check that the injectors rotate smoothly.
HINT:
If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incor-
rect installation of O−rings. Replace the O−rings.
