7. Install fuel rail assembly. Tighten the nuts to 19 N·m(1.9 kgf·m). Refer to Fuel Rail Installation
Procedure .
Tighten the flare nut to 27 - 33 N·m (2.8 - 3.4 kgf·m).
8. Connect the negative battery cable.FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Removal Procedure
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system
components.
Caution: After relieving the fuel system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the
chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fitting with a shop towel before disconnecting the
fittings. The towel will absorb any fuel that may leak
out. When the disconnect is completed, place the
towel in an approved container.
NOTE: Compressed air must never be used to test or
clean a fuel pressure regulator, as damage to the fuel
pressure regulator may occur.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the fuel pressure
regulator, do not immerse the pressure regulator in
solvent.
Removal Procedure
1. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fuel
Pressure Relief Procedure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel pump relay.
4. Disconnect the vacuum line form fuel pressure regulator.

5. Remove the fuel pressure regulator retaining screw.
6. Remove the fuel pressure regulator from fuel rail.
Installation Procedure 1. Insert the fuel pressure regulator into the fuel rail. 2. Install the fuel pressure regulator retaining bracket
and tighten with a screw.
3. Connect vacuum line onto the fuel pressure regulator.
4. Install the fuel pump relay.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
6. Crank the engine until it starts. Cranking the engine may take longer than usual due to trapped air in the
fuel line.
7. Tighten the flare nut to 27 - 33 N·m (2.8 - 3.4 kgf·m).

2.6 Coolant Filler Cap
Figure 6B1 – 10 Figure 6B1 – 11

The pressurised coolant filler cap (1), fitted to the filler neck (2) on the coolant outlet housing, causes the cooling system
to operate at higher than atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure raises the boiling point of the coolant, resulting in
increased engine cooling efficiency. The coolant filler cap contains a pressure valve (3) and a vacuum (atmospheric)
valve (4).
Referring to view ‘A’, the pressure valve is held against its seat by a spring (5), which determines the maximum operating
pressure of the cooling system (120 kPa ).
Referring to view ‘B’, the vacuum valve (4) is held against its seat by a light spring and opens during cool down because
of the drop in pressure with contraction of the coolant volume. This pressure drop over-comes the spring force and the
vacuum valve is opened, preventing the radiator hoses from collapsing. In addition, coolant can also flow back into the
cooling system from the coolant recovery reservoir while this valve is open maintaining a full volume of coolant within the
engine and radiator.

Should the radiator pressure cap require
replacement, only fit the correct cap (with the
correct pressure-rating) for this engine. Refer
to the current release of Partfinder™ for this
information.
