FUEL INJECTORS

Removal Procedure
NOTE: If the fuel injectors are leaking, the engine oil
may be contaminated with fuel. Check the oil fo
r
signs of contamination and change the oil and the
filter if necessary.
NOTE: Use care in removing the fuel injectors in
order to prevent damage to the fuel injecto
r
electrical connector pins or the fuel injector
nozzles. The fuel injector is an electrical component
and should not be immersed in any type of cleane
r
as this may damage the fuel injector.
Important: Fuel injectors are serviced as a complete
assembly only.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Common Chamber in Engine Mechanical..
3. Remove the fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Rail.

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 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
fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting the
fittings. The towels 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 result.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the fuel pressure
regulator, do not immerse the pressure regulator in
solvent.
1. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fue
l
Pressure Relief Procedure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel pump relay. Refer to Fuel Pump
Relay.

t
secures the common chamber.

SPARK PLUGS

Removal Procedure
1. Remove spark plugs.

Inspection Procedure
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and
therefore its inspection is very important.
 Check electrode and insulator for presence o
f
cracks, and replace if any.
 Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
 Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
 Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter,
and replace if faulty.
 Adjust spark plug gap to 1.0 mm (0.04 in)

1.1 mm
(0.043 in).
 Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is
extremely dirty.
 Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type
plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
 Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type
plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and
insulator of spark plug reduces the engine performance.
Possible causes:
 Too rich mixture
 Presence of oil in combustion chamber
 Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily
oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
 Too lean mixture
 Improper heat value

Measuring Insulation Resistance
 Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt
megaohm meter.
 Replace spark plugs if measured value is out o
f
standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 M
  or more




011RS010
Cleaning Spark Plugs
 Clean spark plugs with a spark plug cleaner.
 Raise the ground electrode to an angle of 45 to 60
degrees. If electrode is wet, dry it before cleaning.

After spark plug is thoroughly cleaned, check
insulator for presence of cracks.
 Clean threads and metal body with a wire brush.
 File the electrode tip if electrode is extremely worn.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.


CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.

When inspecting or replacing exhaust system
components, make sure there is adequate clearance
from all points on the underbody to prevent overheating
the floor pan and possible damage to the passenge
r
compartment insulation and trim materials.
Check complete exhaust system and nearby body
areas and rear compartment lid for broken, damaged,
missing or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes,
loose connections or other deterioration which could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the rea
r
compartment or passenger compartment. Dust or water
in the rear compartment may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any faulty areas should
be corrected immediately.

Hangers
Various types of hangers are used to support exhaust
system(s). These include conventional rubber straps,
rubber rings, and rubber blocks.
The installation of exhaust system supports is very
important, as improperly installed supports can cause
annoying vibrations which can be difficult to diagnose.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The three way catalytic converter is an emission control
device added to the exhaust system to reduce
pollutants from the exhaust gas stream.
