4C FUEL SYSTEM 
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE AND SERVICING 
FUEL SYSTEM 
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure 
even when the engine is not running. 
a) Before disconnecting any fuel line, release the fuel 
pressure from the fuel system to reduce the pos-
sibility of injury or fire. 
1. Start the engine. 
2. Disconnect the 4-pin connector from the con-
trol relay or the fuel pump connector (5-pin or 
6-pin). 
3. After the engine stalls, turn OFF the ignition 
switch. 
4. Reconnect the relay or fuel pump connector. 
b) Use a rag as protection from fuel spray when dis-
connecting the hoses. 
Plug the hoses after removal. 
c) When inspecting the fuel system, use the SST.

How to Connect Multi-Pressure Tester 
Warning 
Before connecting the SST, release the fuel 
pressure from the fuel system to reduce the 
possibility of injury or fire. (Refer to page 
4C—52.) 
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. 
2. Disconnect the fuel main hose from the fuel filter. 
3. Connect the SST and adapter between the fuel 
main hose and the fuel pump.

4. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the pressure 
regulator. Connect the SST to the vacuum hose 
with a three-way joint. 
5. Connect the negative battery terminal. 
6. Connect the SST to the battery.

tion, check the following; 
No pressure 
• Fuel pump operation (Refer to page 
4C—56.) 
Low pressure 
• Fuel pump feeding capacity (Refer to 
page 4C—56.) 
High pressure 
• Replace the fuel pump 
6. After checking the fuel pump pressure, disconnect 
the jumper wire from the test connector. 
Fuel Line Pressure
