(4) In order to prevent the disconnected fuel pump tube
from being damaged and foreign objects from being
introduced, cover the disconnected fuel pump tube
with a vinyl or plastic bag.
(5) Place a tray under the vehicle or point of disconnec-
tion to catch any fuel that may spill.
(6) Put a container under the connection.
(b) Take the following precautions when removing and instal-
ling the fuel injectors.
NOTICE:
Never reuse the O-ring.
(1) When installing a new O-ring on the fuel injector, be
careful not to damage it.
(2) Coat a new O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing. Never use engine oil, gear oil or
brake oil.
(c) Install the fuel injector to the fuel delivery pipe and intake
manifold as shown in the illustration. Before installing the
fuel injector, be sure to apply spindle oil or gasoline to the
place where the fuel delivery pipe or intake manifold
touches the O-ring of the fuel injector.
(d) Take the following precautions when disconnecting the
quick connector.
(1) Remove the fuel pipe clamp.
(2) Check the pipe and around the quick connector for
dirt or mud before disconnecting them. Remove the
dirt if necessary.

lease and pull it out.
NOTICE:
Do not use any tools.
(5) If there is dirt or any other substances on the sealing
surface that might interfere with the seal, clean the
area thoroughly before assembling.
(6) In order to prevent the disconnected pipe and quick
connector from damage or dirt, cover them with a vi-
nyl or plastic bag.
(e) Take the following precautions when connecting the quick
connector.
(1) Check the connected part of the pipe for damage or
foreign objects.
(2) Align the axis of the quick connector with the axis of
the pipe, then push into the quick connector until the
quick connector makes a ºclickº sound. In case that
the connection is tight, apply a little amount of fresh
engine oil to the tip of the pipe.
(3) After connecting, check if the pipe and quick con-
nector are securely connected by pulling on them.
(4) Install the fuel pipe clamp.
(5) Check if there is any leakage.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Discharge the fuel pressure and take precautions against
possible fuel spillage (see page 11-1).
(b) Check that tha battery voltage is above 12 V.
(c) Disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative termi-
nal).
(d) Pull out the fuel tube connector from a new fuel tube.
HINT:
Part No. 23801-20190
(e) Remove the fuel pipe clamp.
(f) Disconnect the quick connector from the fuel pipe by
pinching portion A with your fingers as shown in the il-
lustration.
CAUTION:
After taking the precautions, disconnect the quick
connector.
As pressure remains in the fuel line, prevent it from
splashing inside the engine compartment.

(g) Install SST (a pressure gauge) and fuel tube connector
using SST as shown in the illustration.
SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070), 09268-45014
(09268-41250, 09268-41200, 09268-41220)
(h) Wipe up any gasoline.
(i) Reconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative termi-
nal).
(j) Connect the hand-hand tester to the DLC3.
(k) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 to 50 psi)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hose connections, fuel
pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
(l) Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
(m) Start the engine.
(n) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 to 50 psi)
(o) Stop the engine.
(p) Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5
minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm
2, 21 psi) or more
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pres-
sure regulator and/or fuel injectors.
(q) After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the battery
negative terminal and carefully remove SST and the fuel
tube connector to prevent gasoline splash.
(r) Reconnect the No. 1 fuel pipe (the fuel tube connector).
CAUTION:
After taking the precautions, connect the quick connector.
