FUEL PRESSURE LEAK DOWN TEST
ENGINE OFF
Abnormally long periods of cranking to restart a
hot engine that has been shut down for a short pe-
riod of time may be caused by:
²Fuel pressure bleeding past the fuel pressure reg-
ulator.
²Fuel pressure bleeding past the check valve in the
outlet end of the fuel tank mounted fuel pump.
²Fuel pressure bleeding past a fuel injector(s)
(1) Remove protective cap at fuel rail test port
(Fig. 11). With the engine off, connect the 0-414 kPa
(0-60 psi) fuel pressure gauge to the pressure test
port fitting on the fuel rail. The fitting on the pres-
sure tester must be in good condition and free of any
leaks before performing this test.
(2) Start the vehicle and let engine idle. Check fuel
pressure reading on gauge. Fuel pressure should be
within specifications. Refer to the previous Fuel Sys-
tem Pressure Tests.
(3) Shut engine off. Observe and record fuel pres-
sure reading on gauge. Leave fuel pressure gauge
connected. Allow engine to set for 30 minutes and
then compare the fuel pressure reading on the gauge
with the reading taken when engine was shut down.
A pressure drop of up to 138 kPa (20 psi) within 30
minutes is within specifications.
(4) If the fuel pressure drop is within specifica-
tions, the fuel pump outlet check valve and fuel pres-
sure regulator are both operating normally.
(5) If fuel pressure drop is greater than 138 kPa
(20 psi), it must be determined if this drop is being
caused by (in-tank mounted) fuel pump outlet check
valve or fuel pressure regulator. Proceed to next step.
(6) Release the fuel system pressure from fuel sys-
tem. Refer to the previous Fuel Pressure Release
Procedure in this group.(7) Disconnect both fuel lines at fuel rail near fuel

GENERAL INFORMATION
All XJ and YJ models pass a full 360 degree roll-
over test without fuel leakage. To accomplish this,
fuel and vapor flow controls are required for all fuel
tank connections.
All models are equipped with a pressure relief/roll-
over valve mounted in the top of the fuel tank. The
return line from the fuel pump to the fuel tank con-
tains a one-way check valve.
An evaporative control system prevents raw fuel
vapor from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel va-
pors from the fuel tank are collected in the EVAP
canister. When the engine is operating, the vapors
are drawn into the intake manifold to be used in
combustion. Refer to Group 25, Emission Control
System for more information.
Inspect all hose/tube connections for completeness.
Be sure that leaks are not present. Replace any hose
that is cracked, scuffed, swelled, has rubbed against
other vehicle components or shows any other sign of
wear that could lead to failure. If it is necessary to
replace a hose, only hose marked EFM/EFI may be
used.
When installing hoses, be sure that they are routed
away from contact with other vehicle components.
The hose clamps used on fuel injected vehicles are
of a special rolled edge construction to prevent the
edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only
these rolled edge type clamps may be used on this
system. Other types of clamps may cut into the hoses
and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
FUEL TANK CAPACITIES
Refer to the Specifications section at the end of this
group.
NO-LEAD FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE
All vehicles are designed to operate using Unleaded
fuels. The diameter of the opening in the fuel tank
filler neck is sized to only accept unleaded fuel noz-
zles. Gasoline station pumps for unleaded and leaded
fuels have different size nozzles. Leaded fuel nozzles
are larger in diameter than unleaded nozzles. The
fuel tank filler neck opening is also equipped with adeflector, which the smaller unleaded nozzle pushes
back upon entering the filler neck. The deflector will
prevent the larger diameter leaded fuel nozzles from
entering the filler neck and will deflect fuel away
from the filler neck. This happens if filling of the
tank with leaded fuel is attempted.
A label is attached to the instrument panel under
the fuel gauge that reads UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
as a reminder to the driver. A similar label is located
near the fuel tank filler.
FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of the filler neck
is prevented by the use of a safety filler cap. This
will release only under pressure of 10.9 to 13.45 kPa
(1.58 to 1.95 psi). The vacuum release is between .97
and 2.0 kPa (.14 and .29 psi). This cap must be re-
placed by a similar unit if replacement is necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap prior
to removing or repairing fuel lines to relieve fuel
tank pressure.
HEAT SHIELDS
The sheet metal heat shields may have to be re-
moved when servicing the fuel tank, fuel lines or va-
por vent line. The heat shields must be installed to
protect the lines and tank from the heat of the ex-
haust system. Refer to Group 11, Exhaust System
and Intake Manifold for proper installation.
FUEL TANK

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the fuel
pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module in the
Fuel Delivery System section of this group.
FUEL TANK PRESSURE RELIEF/ROLLOVER VALVE
The fuel tank is equipped with a pressure relief/
rollover valve (Fig. 8). The dual function valve will
relieve fuel tank pressure and prevent fuel flow
through the fuel tank vent tubes in the event of ac-
cidental vehicle rollover.
The valve consists of a plunger, spring and orifice/
guide plate (Fig. 9). The valve is normally open al-
lowing fuel vapor to vent to the EVAP canister. Here
it is stored until it can be consumed by the engine
(under controlled conditions). The plunger seats inthe guide plate at the orifice preventing liquid fuel
from reaching the EVAP canister. This is done if bot-
tom of plunger is contacted by fuel sloshing in tank
when vehicle is cornering.
In the event of accidental vehicle rollover, the valve
is inverted. In this position the plunger is forced
against the guide plate and raw fuel is prevented
from flowing through the valve orifice into the fuel
tank vent tube.
REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE PRESSURE RELIEF/
ROLLOVER VALVE, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE

GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4-cylinder and 4.0L 6-cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
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 the connector of the powertrain control
module (PCM) (Figs. 1 or 2). Verify that the connec-
tor mounting bolt is tightened to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.(2) Inspect the battery cable connections. Be sure
they are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning
compressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD
relay and radiator fan relay (if equipped) connec-
tions. Inspect starter motor relay connections. In-
spect relays for signs of physical damage and
corrosion. The relays are installed in the power dis-
tribution center (PDC) (Figs. 3 or 4).
(4) Inspect ignition coil connections. Verify that coil
secondary cable is firmly connected to coil (Figs. 5 or
6).
(5) Verify that distributor cap is correctly attached
to distributor. Be sure that spark plug cables are
firmly connected to the distributor cap and the spark
plugs in their correct firing order. Be sure that coil
cable is firmly connected to distributor cap and coil.
