2001 NISSAN ALMERA air bleeding

JEF346Y
Inspection for Spill Tube AirtightnessNJEC0619S01Before the rocker cover is installed, perform the inspection as fol-
lows.
1. Connect the handy vacuum pump to the spill hose.
2. Check that the airtightness is maintained after the negative
pressure shown below is applied.
Standard:
±53.3 to ±66.7 kPa (±533 to ±667 mbar, ±400 to ±500
mmHg, ±15.75 to ±19.69 inHg)
JEF347Y
Air Bleeding of Fuel PipingNJEC0619S02After the repair, bleed air in the piping by pumping the priming
pump up and down until it becomes heavy.
JEF348Y
Injection Pressure TestNJEC0619S031. Install injection nozzle assembly to injection nozzle tester and
bleed air from flare nut.
2. Pump the tester handle slowly (one time per second) and
watch the pressure gauge.
3. Read the pressure gauge when the injection pressure just
starts dropping.
Initial injection pressure:
New
21,476 - 22,457 kPa (214.7 - 224.5 bar, 219 - 229
kg/cm
2, 3,114 - 3,256 psi)
Limit
18,275 kPa (182.7 bar, 186 kg/cm
2, 2,650 psi)
+The injection nozzle assembly has a 2-stage pressure injection
function. However, the judgement should be made at the first
stage of the valve opening pressure.
Always check initial injection pressure using a new nozzle.

DESCRIPTIONNJEC0623A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for
bleeding air is on the upper side.
SEF375Y
AIR BLEEDINGNJEC06241. After the repair, bleed air from the piping by pumping the prim-
ing pump up and down until it becomes heavy.
2. To start the engine, rotate the starter for a maximum of 30
seconds. To start the engine more quickly, crank the engine
while pumping the priming pump (requires two workers).
3. If the engine does not start after rotating the starter for a maxi-
mum of 30 seconds, stop it once, and pump the priming pump
again until it becomes heavy.
4. Rotate the starter again until the engine starts running.
5. After the engine starts, let it idle for at least 1 minute to stabi-
lize the behavior.
+When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming
pump suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that
time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming
pump (the pumping of the priming pump does not become
heavy), disconnect the fuel supply hose between the fuel
filter and the injection pump. Then, perform the operation
described above, and make sure that fuel comes out. (Use
a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel. Do not let fuel get on
engine and other parts.) After that, connect the hose, then
bleed air again.
+Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after
performing air bleeding.
WATER DRAININGNJEC0625+If the MI lights up (not flashes) during the engine operation,
drain the water as follows. (If water in fuel filter sensor is
equipped.)
1. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from
the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and
vacuum hose for brake booster (between the vacuum pump
and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape,
etc. to prevent foreign object from getting into the engine
during the operation.
b. Disconnect the water level warning sensor harness connector.
c. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the
fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector assembly from the dash
panel.
+It is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock

at the bottom of the water level warning sensor located under
the fuel filter.
JEF377Y
3. Install the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector assembly tem-
porarily. Then, drain the water by pumping the priming pump
with the filter standing straight.
+Extend the drain hose if necessary.
Water amount when the MI lights up:
65 - 100 m!(2.3 - 3.5 Imp fl oz)
CAUTION:
When the water is drained, the fuel is also drained. Use a pan,
etc. to avoid fuel adherence to the rubber parts such as the
engine mount insulator.
4. Tighten the water draining cock, then install the fuel filter, filter
bracket, protector assembly in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the water draining cock. This will damage
the cock thread, resulting in water or fuel leak.
5. Bleed air of the fuel filter. Refer to EC-625.
+Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after
performing air bleeding.
6. Start the engine, then check that the MI goes off. (If water in
fuel filter sensor is equipped.)

With CONSULT-II
1. Select ªCKPS´RPM (TDC)º in ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
2. Read idle speed.

FUEL PIPINGNJEM0109S02RemovalNJEM0109S0201+To prevent fuel from flowing out, plug the opening of the hose
with a blind plug after disconnection.
+Be careful not to spill fuel in the engine compartment.
InstallationNJEM0109S0202+After repairing, bleed air in pipes by shifting priming pump up
and down until the touch is heavy.
+For further air bleeding, idle at least 1 minute or more.

WATER HOSENJEM0109S05InstallationNJEM0109S0501+Install water hose by referring to identification marks; avoiding
twisting.
+When an insert stopper is not provided with the pipe, insert the
hose up to dimension A. When the pipe is shorter than dimen-
sion A, insert hose fully until it reaches the end.
Dimension A: 25 - 30 mm (0.984 - 1.181 in)
+When an insert stopper is provided on the pipe side, insert the
hose until it reaches the bulge.
+When marking is provided on the pipe, insert hose until it cov-
ers half of the marking.

filled with fuel.
1. Disconnect fuel return hose.
Place a suitable container beneath hose end.
2. Pump priming pump and check that the fuel overflows from the
hose end. If not, replace priming pump.
