INSPECTION
1. Injector 4. Fuel filter
2. Delivery pipe 5. Fuel pump
3. Fuel pressure regulator
NOTE:
Before using the following flow table, check to make sure that battery voltage is higher than 11 V. If
battery voltage is low, pressure becomes lower than specification even if fuel pump and line are in
good condition.
Step Action Yes No
1 1) Install fuel pressure gauge, referring to
“FUEL PRESSURE INSPECTION” in Sec-
tion 6E2.
2) Operate fuel pump.
Is fuel pressure then 270 – 310 kPa
(2.7 – 3.1 kg/cm
2, 38.4 – 44.0 psi)?Go to Step 2. Go to Step 5.
2
Is 200 kPa (2.0 kg/cm
2, 28.4 psi) or higher fuel
pressure retained for 1 minute after fuel pump
is stopped at Step 1?Go to Step 3. Go to Step 4.

3 1) Start engine and warm it up to normal oper-
ating temperature.
2) Keep it running at specified idle speed.
Is fuel pressure then within 210 – 260 kPa
(2.1 – 2.6 kg/cm
2, 29.8 – 37.0 psi)?Normal fuel pressure. Clogged vacuum passage
for fuel pressure regula-
tor or faulty fuel pressure
regulator.
4 Is there fuel leakage from fuel feed line hose,
pipe or joint?Fuel leakage from hose,
pipe or joint.Go to Step 10.
5 Was fuel pressure higher than spec. in Step 1? Go to Step 6. Go to Step 7.
6 1) Disconnect fuel return hose from fuel pipe
and connect new hose to it.
2) Put the other end of new return hose into
approved gasoline container.
3) Operate fuel pump.
Is specified fuel pressure obtained then?Restricted fuel return
hose or pipe.Faulty fuel pressure regu-
lator.
7 Was no fuel pressure applied in Step 1? Go to Step 8. Go to Step 9.
(Low pressure is mea-
sured.)
8 With fuel pump operated and fuel return hose
blocked by pinching it, is fuel pressure applied?Faulty fuel pressure regu-
lator.Shortage of fuel or fuel
pump or its circuit defec-
tive (Refer to “TABLE B-
1”).
9 1) Operate fuel pump.
2) With fuel return hose blocked by pinching it,
check fuel pressure.
Is it 450 kPa (4.5 kg/cm
2, 64.0 psi) or more?Faulty fuel pressure regu-
lator.Clogged fuel filter,
restricted fuel feed hose
or pipe, faulty fuel pump
or fuel leakage from hose
connection in fuel tank.
10 1) Disconnect fuel return hose from fuel pipe
and connect new hose to it.
2) Put the other end of new return hose into
approved gasoline container.
3) Check again if specified fuel pressure is
retained.
While doing so, does fuel come out return
hose?Faulty fuel pressure regu-
lator.Fuel leakage from injec-
tor, faulty fuel pump
(faulty check valve in fuel
pump) or fuel leakage
from fuel pressure regula-
tor diaphragm. Step Action Yes No

REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line by referring to Section
6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Drain coolant.
4) Remove strut tower bar (2).
5) Disconnect coupler from intake air temp. sensor, and MAF
sensor.
6) Remove surge tank cover (1).
7) Remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe (1) and surge tank pipe (2) as one component. Do not
disassemble them, when removing and reinstalling. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug and radiator cap while engine and radiator are
still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under
pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.
