FUEL PRESSURE
Fuel Pressure CheckINFOID:0000000003771746
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
With CONSULT-IIl
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in
“WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-IIl.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
Without CONSULT-IIl
1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
 Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
 Be careful not to scratch or get the fuel hose conn ection area dirty when servicing, so that the quick
connector o-ring maintains sealability.
 Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit J-44321 and Fuel Pr essure Adapter J-44321-6 to check fuel pressure.
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical system operating (i.e. lights, rear defog, A/C, etc.).
Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings du e to varying engine loads and changes in mani-
fold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pres-
sure cannot be completely released because JA 60 models do not have fuel return system.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE".
2. Remove engine cover.
3. Remove fuel hose using Quick Connector Release J-45488. Refer to EM-40
.
 Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.
 Do not remove fuel hose from quick connector.
 Keep fuel hose connections clean.
4. Install Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 and Fuel Pressure Gauge (from kit J-44321) as shown in figure.
 Do not distort or bend fuel rail tube when installing fuel pres-sure gauge adapter.
 When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for damage and abnormality.
5. Turn ignition switch ON (reactivate fuel pump), and check for fuel leakage.
6. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
7. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.  During fuel pressure check, check for fuel leakage from fuel
connection every 3 minutes.

8. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
9. Check the following.
 Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging
 Fuel filter for clogging
 Fuel pump
 Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.
10. Before disconnecting Fuel Pressure Gauge and Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6, release fuel pressure
to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE". At idling:
Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm
2, 51 psi)

EVAP LEAK CHECK
How to Detect Fuel Vapor LeakageINFOID:0000000003771747
CAUTION:
 Never use compressed air
or a high pressure pump.
 Do not exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm
2, 0.6 psi) of pressure in EVAP system.
NOTE:
 Do not start engine.
 Improper installation of EVAP service port adapter to the EVAP service port may cause a leak.
WITH CONSULT-IIl
1. Attach the EVAP service port adapter securely to the EVAP service port.
2. Also attach the pressure pump and hose to the EVAP service port adapter.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Select the “EVAP SYSTEM CLOSE” of “WORK SUPPORT MODE” with CONSULT-IIl.
5. Touch “START”. A bar graph (Pressure indicating display) will appear on the screen.
6. Apply positive pressure to the EVAP system until t he pressure indicator reaches the middle of the bar
graph.
7. Remove EVAP service port adapter and hose with pressure pump.
8. Locate the leak using a leak detector. Refer to EC-37, "Descrip-
tion".
WITHOUT CONSULT-IIl
1. Attach the EVAP service port adapter securely to the EVAP ser-
vice port.
2. Also attach the pressure pump with pressure gauge to the EVAP service port adapter.

EVAP LEAK CHECK
3. Apply battery voltage between the terminals of EVAP
canister vent control valve to make a closed EVAP
system.
4. To locate the leak, deliver positive pressure to the EVAP system until pressure gauge points reach 1.38 to
2.76 kPa (0.014 to 0.028 kg/cm
2, 0.2 to 0.4 psi).
5. Remove EVAP service port adapter and hose with pressure pump.
6. Locate the leak using a leak detector. Refer to EC-37, "Description"

EVAP CANISTER
Check EVAP canister as follows:
1. Block port
B.
2. Blow air into port Aand check that it flows freely out of port C.
3. Release blocked port B.
4. Apply vacuum pressure to port B and check that vacuum pres-
sure exists at the ports Aand C.
5. Block port Aand B.
6. Apply pressure to port C and check that there is no leakage.
