FUEL
RAIL
The fuel rail supplies fuel to the injectors and is
mounted to the intake manifold (Fig. 20). On vehi­
cles equipped with a 3.9L or 5.2L engine, the fuel
pressure regulator is attached to the rail and the fuel
pressure test port is integral with the rail. On vehi­ cles equipped with a 5.9L engine, the fuel pressure
regulator is not part of the fuel rail. It is located on
the fuel tank mounted fuel pump module. The fuel
rail is not repairable.

Fuel
Rail—Typical Regulator Operation: The fuel pressure regulator
is a mechanical device that is not controlled by the
powertrain control module (PCM).
The fuel pressure regulator used is a vacuum bal­
anced, nonadjustable type. The regulator is mounted
on the output end of the fuel rail and is connected to
intake manifold vacuum (Figs. 21 or 22). The fuel re­
turn tube (to the fuel tank) is connected to the fuel
pressure regulator.

The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system
operating pressure at approximately 214 kPa (31

This is with vacuum applied while the engine is at idle. Fuel pressure will be 55-69 kPa (8-10 psi)
higher if vacuum is not applied to the regulator.
The pressure regulator contains a diaphragm, cali­
brated spring and a fuel return valve. Fuel pressure operates on one side of the regulator, while spring

VISUAL
INSPECTION
A visual inspection
for
loose, disconnected,
or
incor­
rectly routed wires
and
hoses should
be
made. This should
be
done before attempting
to
diagnose
or
ser­
vice
the
fuel injection system.
A
visual check will
help spot these faults
and
save unnecessary test
and
diagnostic time.
A
thorough visual inspection will
in­

clude
the
following checks: (1) Verify that
the
60-way connector
is
fully
in­

serted into

TEST
To perform a complete test of the engine coolant
temperature sensor and its circuitry, refer to DRB II
tester and appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics Proce­
dures manual. To test the sensor only, refer to the
following: (1) Disconnect wire harness connector from coolant
temperature sensor (Fig. 21). Engines with air conditioning; When removing
the connector from sensor, do not pull directly on
wiring harness. Fabricate an L-shaped hook tool
from a coat hanger (approximately eight inches
long).
Place the hook part of tool under the connector
for removal. The connector is snapped onto the sen­ sor. It is not equipped with a lock type tab.

(2) Test the resistance of the sensor with a high in­
put impedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resis­
tance (as measured across the sensor terminals) should be less than 1340 ohms with the engine
warm. Refer to the Coolant Temperature sensor/ Charge Air Temperature sensor resistance chart. Re­
place the sensor if it is not within the range of resistance specified in the chart.
(3) Test continuity of the wire harness. Do this be­
tween the powertrain control module (PCM) wire
harness connector terminal 2 and the sensor connec­
tor terminal. Also test continuity of wire harness ter­
minal 4 to the sensor connector terminal. Repair the
wire harness if an open circuit is indicated.
(4) After tests are completed, connect electrical
connector to sensor. The sensor connector is symmet­
rical (not indexed). It can be installed to the sensor in either direction. SENSOR RESISTANCE (OHMS)-COOLANT

(6) Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at the
PCM connector between terminal/pin-4 and terminal/

connection. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for
location of this connection. If the ground connection

short circuit to 12 volts +, correct this condition be­
fore replacing the PCM.

SENSOR HEATING ELEMENT TEST
To perform a complete test of single or dual 02 sen-
sor(s) and circuitry, refer to DRB II tester and appro­
priate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To
test the 02 sensor only, refer to the following:
On 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L LDC engines, the single 02 sen­
sor is located on the right exhaust down pipe (Fig.

29).
On 5.9L HDC engines, the dual 02 sensors are
located on each (left and right) exhaust down pipe (Fig. 29).
The 02 heating element can be tested with an ohm­
meter as follows: Disconnect the 02 sensor connector. Connect the
ohmmeter test leads across the white wire terminals
of the sensor connector. Resistance should be be­
tween 5 and 7 ohms. Replace the sensor if the ohm­ meter displays an infinity (open) reading.
