HIGH-PRESSURE LINES
All high±pressure fuel lines are of the same length
and inside diameter. Correct high±pressure fuel line
usage and installation is critical to smooth engine
operation.
CAUTION: The high±pressure fuel lines must be
clamped securely in place in the holders. The lines
cannot contact each other or other components. Do
not attempt to weld high±pressure fuel lines or to
repair lines that are damaged. Only use the recom-
mended lines when replacement of high±pressure
fuel line is necessary.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
(2) Remove the necessary clamps (Fig. 58) holding
the lines to the engine.
(3) Clean the area around each fuel line connec-
tion. Disconnect each line at the top of each fuel
injector (Fig. 59).
(4) Disconnect each high±pressure line fitting at
each fuel injection pump delivery valve.
(5) Very carefully remove each line from the
engine. Note the position (firing order) of each line
while removing.Do not bend the line while
removing.
CAUTION: Be sure that the high±pressure fuel lines
are installed in the same order that they were
removed. Prevent the injection pump delivery valve
holders (Fig. 58) from turning when removing or
installing high±pressure lines from injection pump.
INSTALLATION
(1) Carefully position each high±pressure fuel line
to the fuel injector and fuel injection pump delivery
valve holder in the correct firing order. Also position
each line in the correct line holder.
(2) Loosely install the line clamp/holder bolts.
(3) Tighten each line at the delivery valve to 30
N´m (22 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Tighten each line at the fuel injector to 30 N´m
(22 ft. lbs.) torque.

mation. Repair the wire harness if an open circuit is
indicated.
(4) After tests are completed, connect electrical
connector to sensor.
GLOW PLUG TEST
Hard starting or a rough idle after starting may be
caused by one or more defective glow plugs. Before
testing the glow plugs, a test of the glow plug relay
should be performed. This will ensure that 12V+ is
available at the plugs when starting the engine.
Refer to the Glow Plug Relay Test for information.
For accurate test results, the glow plugs should be
removed from the engine. The plugs must be checked
when cold.Do not check the plugs if the engine
has recently been operated. If plugs are
checked when warm, incorrect amp gauge
readings will result.
Use Churchill Glow Plug Tester DX.900 or an
equivalent (Fig. 14) for the following tests. This
tester is equipped with 4 timer lamps.
(1) Remove the glow plugs from the engine. Refer
to Glow Plug Removal/Installation.
(2) Attach the red lead of the tester to the 12V+
(positive) side of the battery.
(3) Attach the black lead of the tester to the 12V±
(negative) side of the battery.
(4) Fit the glow plug into the top of the tester and
secure it with the spring loaded bar (Fig. 14).
(5) Attach the third lead wire of the tester to the
electrical terminal at the end of the glow plug.(6) When performing the test, the tester button
(Fig. 14) should be held continuously without release
for 20 seconds as indicated by the 4 timer lamps.
Each illuminated lamp represents a 5 second time
lapse.
(a) Press and hold the tester button (Fig. 14)
and note the amp gauge reading. The gauge read-
ing should indicate a momentary, initial current
draw (surge) of approximately 25 amps. After the
initial surge, the amp gauge reading should begin
to fall off. The glow plug tip should start to glow
an orange color after 5 seconds. If the tip did not
glow after 5 seconds, replace the glow plug. Before
discarding the glow plug, check the position of the
circuit breaker on the bottom of the plug tester. It
may have to be reset. Reset if necessary.
(b) Continue to hold the tester button while
observing the amp gauge and the 4 timer lamps.
When all 4 lamps are illuminated, indicating a 20
second time lapse, the amp gauge reading should
indicate a 9±12 amp current draw. If not, replace
the glow plug. Refer to Glow Plug Removal/Instal-
lation.
(7) Check each glow plug in this manner using one
20 second cycle. If the glow plug is to be retested, it
must first be allowed to cool to room temperature.
WARNING: THE GLOW PLUG WILL BECOME
EXTREMELY HOT (GLOWING) DURING THESE
TESTS. BURNS COULD RESULT IF IMPROPERLY
HANDLED. ALLOW THE GLOW PLUG TO COOL
BEFORE REMOVING FROM TESTER.
(8) Remove the glow plug from the tester.
GLOW PLUG RELAY TEST
The glow plug relay is located in the engine com-
partment on the left±inner fender (Fig. 15).
When the ignition (key) switch is placed in the ON
position, a signal is sent to the PCM relating current
engine coolant temperature. This signal is sent from
the engine coolant temperature sensor.
After receiving this signal, the PCM will deter-
mine if, when and for how long a period the glow
plug relay should be activated. This is done before,
during and after the engine is started. Whenever the
glow plug relay is activated, it will control the 12V+
100 amp circuit for the operation of the four glow
plugs.
The Glow Plug lamp is tied to this circuit. Lamp
operation is also controlled by the PCM.
With a cold engine, the glow plug relay and glow
plugs may be activated for a maximum time of 200
seconds. Refer to the Glow Plug Control chart for a
temperature/time comparison of glow plug relay oper-
ation.
