Reconnect the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure
regulator.
Check that the fuel pressure rises when the vacuum
hose from the fuel pressure regulator is disconnected
again.
lf the fuel pressure did not rise, replace the fuel

The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel
pressure drops below the specified value [260 - 310 kPa

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]-

pipe from the fuel filter, while supporting it with the
another wrench, as shown.

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.
