Fuel Supply System
System Description
The fuel supply system consists of a fuel tank, in-tank
high pressure fuel pump, PGM-FI main relay, fuelfilter,
fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors. and fuel delivery
and return lines. This system delivers pressure-regu-
lated fuel to the fuel injectors and cuts the fuel delivery
when the engine is not running.
Fuel Pressure l'96 Modelsl
Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release pres-
sure from the system by loosening the 6 mm service
bolt on top of the fuel filter.
. Do not smoke whil6 working on the fuel system.
Kgsp opon flames or sparks away from youl work
area.
. Be sure to relieve fuel pressure while the ignition
switch is off.
1. Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset
buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the bat-
tery negative terminal.
3. Remove the fuelfill cap,
4. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at
the fuel filter while holding the special banjo bolt
with another wrench,
5. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.
6, Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete
rurn.
. A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm
service bolt hole.
. Always reDlace the washer between the service
bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the ser-
vice bolt is loosened.
. Replace all washers whenever the bolts are
removeo.
11-230
Inspoction
1. Relieve fuel pressure.
2. Remove the service bolt on the fuel filter while hold-
ing the banjo bolt with another wrench. Attach the
special tool.
FUELPRESSUREGAUGE07406 - 00ir0(x)1
Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure with the
engine idling and the vacuum hose of the fuel pres-
sure regulator disconnected from the fuel pressure
regulator and pinched. lf the engine will not start,
turn the ignition switch ON (ll), wait for two sec-
onds, turn it off, then back on again and read the
fuel pressure.
Pr€3sure should bo:
260 - 310 kPa (2.7 - 3.2 kgt/cmr, 38 - 46 psi)
Reconnect vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator,
Pressure should bo:
200 - 25O kPa l2.O - 2.5 kgf/cm', 28 - 36 psil
lf the fuel pressure is not as specified, first check the
fuel pump {see page 11-2361. lf the fuel pump is OK,
check the following:
. lf the fuel pressure is higher than specified,
inspect for;- Pinched or clogged fuel return hose or line.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-234).. lf the fuel pressure is lower than specified, inspect
for:- Clogged fuelfilter.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator {see page 11-234).- Fuel line leakage.
