13. Install the injectors and fuel pipe assembly in the manifold.

14. Align the center line on the connector with the mark on the fuel pipe.

15. Install and tighten the retainer nuts.

16. Coat new O-rings with clean engine oil and put them on the fuel hose.

17. Connect the fuel hose to the fuel pipe.

18. Connect the vacuum hose and fuel return hose to the pressure regulator.

19. Install the connectors on the injectors.

20. Install the intake manifold covers.

21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not operate the starter. After the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds, the fuel

pressure in the fuel line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check for leakage.ProCarManuals.com

This Maintenance Schedule outlines the minimum required maintenance. Ser\
vice at the indicated distance or time, whichever
comes first. Use the Maintenance Schedule for Severe Conditions if the v\
ehicle meets any of the qualifiers in the Severe
Conditions schedule or if the vehicle is normally driven in Canada.
Do the items in parts A, B, C, D, E, F, and G as required for the mileag\
e/time interval listed.
NOTE: According to state and federal regulations, failure to do the maintenanc\
e items marked with an asterisk (*) will not
void the customer ’s emissions warranties. However, Acura recommends that all maintenance s\
ervices be done at
the recommended interval to ensure long-term reliability.

Fuel Supply System

System Description

The fuel supply system consists of a fuel tank, in-tank

high-pressure fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pump

resistor PGM-FI main relay, fuel filter, fuel pressure regu-

lator, fuel injectors, injector resistor (A/T), and fuel deliv-

ery 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.ProCarManuals.com

13. To prevent damage to the O-rings, install the fuel injectors in the fuel rail first, then install them in the intake mani-

fold.

15. Install and tighten the retainer nuts.

16. Connect the fuel hose to the fuel rail.

17. Connect the vacuum hose and fuel return hose to the fuel pressure regulator.

18. Install the connectors on the fuel injectors and the IAT sensor.

19. Install the intake manifold covers.

20. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not operate the starter. After the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds,

the fuel pressure in the fuel line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check whether there is any fuel leakage.

PGM-FI Main Relay

Description

The PGM-FI main relay actually contains two individual

relays.

The relay is located behind the passenger's seat back

panel.

One relay is energized whenever the ignition is on which

supplies the battery voltage to the ECM, power to the

fuel injectors, and power for the second relay.

The second relay is energized for 2 seconds when the

ignition is switched on, and when the engine is running

which supplies power to the fuel pump.

Relay Testing

NOTE: If the car starts and continues to run, the PGM-FI

main relay is OK.

1. Remove the PGM-FI main relay.

2. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 3*

terminal and the battery negative terminal to the

No. 2* terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then

check for continuity between the No. 5* terminal and

No. 2 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.

If there is continuity, go on to step 3.

If there is no continuity, replace the relay and

retest.

3. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 4 ter-

minal and the battery negative terminal to the No.

7* terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then check

that there is continuity between the No. 3 terminal

and No. 1 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.

If there is continuity, go on to step 4.

If there is no continuity, replace the relay and

retest.

4. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 ter-

minal and battery negative terminal to the No. 2*

terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then check that

there is continuity between the No. 5* terminal and

No. 2 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.

If there is continuity, the relay is OK;

If the fuel pump still does not work, go to

Harness Testing in the next column.

If there is no continuity, replace the relay and

retest.
