Fuel Pump Pressure Test

NOTE: Begin basic fuel system diagnosis with testing fuel pressure.
  1. Release fuel system pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE  . Attach Fuel Pressure Gauge Set (J-34730-1 ) and Adapter (J-35957-1 ) to Schrader fitting on fuel rail. Disconnect pressure regulator vacuum hose. Turn ignition on. Allow fuel pump to run for about 2 seconds.
  2. Fuel system pressure should be about 41-46 psi (2.8-3.2 kg/cm2 ). See FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE  . Start engine and check for leaks. Connect pressure regulator vacuum hose. If engine will not start, fuel pump relay can be by-passed. Also see ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN  under TROUBLE SHOOTING. With engine idling, fuel pressure should be 25-30 psi (1.8-2.1 kg/cm2 ).
