0A-8 GENERAL INFORMATION
When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag describing
the correct installation positions so that the hoses can be re-
installed correctly.
After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or brake
systems, check all lines related to the system for leaks.
For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never dis-
connect the fuel line between the fuel pump and injector
without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel can be
sprayed out under pressure.
When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80C in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove the heat
sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.
Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts to wa-
ter which will be a cause of a trouble.

6-4 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (TBI FOR G10)
PRECAUTION ON FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
Work must be done with no smoking, in a well-ventilated area and
away from any open flames.
As fuel feed line (between fuel pump and fuel delivery pipe) is still
under high fuel pressure even after engine was stopped, loosen-
ing or disconnecting fuel feed line directly may cause dangerous
spout of fuel to occur where loosened or disconnected.
Before loosening or disconnecting fuel feed line, make sure to re-
lease fuel pressure according to “FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE”. A small amount of fuel may be released after the
fuel line is disconnected. In order to reduce the chance of person-
al injury, cover the fitting to be disconnected with a shop cloth. Put
that cloth in an approved container when disconnection is com-
pleted.
Never run engine with fuel pump relay disconnected when engine
and exhaust system are hot.
Fuel or fuel vapor hose connection varies with each type of pipe.
When reconnecting fuel or fuel vapor hose, be sure to connect
and clamp each hose correctly referring to left figure Hose Con-
nection.
After connecting, make sure that it has no twist or kink.
When installing injector or fuel delivery pipe, lubricate its O-ring
with spindle oil or gasoline.
When connecting fuel pipe flare nut, first tighten flare nut by hand
and then tighten it to specified torque.

Is it flashing when ignition switch is turned to ON
position?Go to “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 8A.Go to Step 8.
8Check fuel supply as follows.
1) Check to make sure that enough fuel is filled in fuel
tank.
2) Turn ON ignition switch for 2 seconds and then
OFF. See Fig. 4.
Is fuel return pressure (returning sounds) felt from fuel
feed hose (1) when ignition switch is turned ON?Go to Step 10.Go to Step 9.
9Check fuel pump for operating.
1) Was fuel pump operating sound heard from fuel
filler for about 2 seconds after ignition switch ON
and stop?Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-3”.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-2”.
10Check ignition spark as follows.
