Checking
fuel

is
a
fundamental
part
of
trouble-

shooting
and
diagnosing
the
DME
system
.
Fuelpressure
di-

rectly
influences
fuel
delivery
.
An
accurate
fuel
pressure

gauge
will
be
needed
to
make
the
tests
.

There
arethree
significant
fuel
delivery
values
to
bemea-

sured
:

"
System

by
the
fuel

and
main-

tained
by

.

"

by

and

pressure

in
the

closed

Procedures
for

arede-

scribed

WARNING
-

"
Gasoline
is
highly
flammable
and
its
vaporsare
explosive
.
Do
not
smoke
or
work
ona
car
near
heaters
or
other
fire
hazards
when
diagnosing
and
repairing
fuel
system
problems
.
Have
a
fire
extinguisher
available
in
case
of
an
emergency
.

"
When
working
onan
open
fuel
system,
wear
suit-
able
hand
protection
.
Prolonged
contact
with
fuel
can
cause
iflnesses
and
skin
disorders
.

CA
UTION-

Cleanliness
is
essential
when
working
withfuel
circuit
components
.
Thoroughly
clean
the
unionsbefore
disconnecting
fuel
fines

To
prevent
fuel
from
spraying
on
a
hotengine,
system
fuel

pressure
should
be
relieved
before
disconnecting
fuel
lines
.

One
method
is
to
tightly
wrap
a
shop
towel
around
a
fuel
line
fit-
ting
and
loosen
or
disconnect
the
fitting
.

Measuring
fuel
pressure
requires
special
tools
.
Earlier
cars
use
pressure
hose
with
clamps
for
fuel
delivery
.
These
can
be
attached
to
a
fuel
pressure
gauge
below
the
intake
manifold
.

Quick
Check



In

are
combined
into
one

unit
.
For

colors
refer
to
Table

.
To
check
if
the
thermostat
is
opening
and

is
circulat-

ing
through
the
radiator,
allow
a
cold
engine
to
reach
operat-

ing
temperature
(temperature

.
Shut
off
engine
.
Feel
the
top
radiator
hose
.
If
the

hose
is
hot
to
the
touch,
the
coolant
is
probably
circulating
cor-
rectly
.
If
there
are
any
cool
areas
in
the
hose
or
radiator,
cool-

ant
flow
to
the
radiator
is
probably
restricted
.
Check
for
a
faulty

thermostat
or
aplugged
radiator
.

NOTE-

A
thermostat
that
is
stuck
open
will
cause
the
engine
to
warmup
slowly
and
run
belownormal

at
highway
speed
.
A
thermostat
that
is
stuck
closed
will
re-

strict
