Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Procautions
@ Do not smoke whils working on the fuel
syst6m, Koop open flames away from your work ar9a.
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 following;
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during weld-
ing 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. R€place the
fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or somethino similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/quick-
connect fittings assembly, be careful not to bend or
twist it excessively, Replace it if damaged,
A disconnected quick-connect fittings can be reconnected,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused once
it has been removed from the pipe. Replace tha retainer

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the fuel fill cap to relieve fuel pressure in
the tank.
3. Relieve fuel pressure (see page 11-178).
4. Check the fuel quick-connect fittings for dirt, and

5. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand. then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
. Be careful not to damage the pipe or other parts.
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 pipe; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

Fuel Pump
Testing
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:
1. Fold the left rear seat cushion forward, and remove
the base frame cover (see section 20).
2, Remove the access panel from the floor.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the fuel pumP 5P connector.
4. Connect the PGM-FI main relay 7P connector termr-
nal No. 4 and No, 5 with a jumper wire.
