3. Align the quick-connect fittings with the pipe, and
align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-

NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the pipe end.

Make sure the connection is secure and the pawls
are lirmly locked into place; check visually and by
pulling the connector.

Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll) the fuel pump wjll run for about
two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise. Repeat two
or three times, and check that there is no leakage in

Description
The fuel pressure regulator maintains a constant fuel
pressure to the fuel injectors. When the difference
between the fuel pressure and manifold pressure

mately two seconds, the fuel pressure in the fuel
line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check
whether there is any fuel leakage.

1. Place a shop towel under the fuel pressure regula-
tor, then relieve fuel pressure (see page 11-1'18).
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose and fuel return hose.
3. Remove the.two 6 mm retainer bolts.
NOTE:
. Replace the O-ring.
o When assembling the fuel pressure regulator,
apply clean engine oil to the O-ring and assem-

PGM-Fl Main Relay
Description
The PGM Fl main relav actuallv contains two individual
relavs. This relav is located at the left side of the cowl.
One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which
supplies the battery voltage to the ECM, power to the
tuel injectors, and power tor the second relay. The second
relay is energized for two seconds when the ignition is
switched on, and when the engine is running, to supply
power to the fuel pump.

Relay Testing
NOTE: lf the engine starts and continues to run, the
PGM-Fl main relay is OK.
1. Remove the PGlvl 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. 4 ter-
minal of the PGN4-Fl main relay.
. lf there is continuity, go on to step 3.
. lf there is no continuity, replace the PGM-Fl main
relay and retest.
