ing in fuel pipe line so that fuel will not flow out.
(I) Remove the fuel gauge cover in the luggage compartment.
(2) Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector.
(3) Start the engine and after it stops by itself, turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
(4) Connect the fuel pump harness connector.
(5) Apply the specified sealant to the rear floor pan.
Specified sealant: 3M ATD Part No. 8509 or equivalent
(6) Install the fuel gauge cover.
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
M13FDAI
(1) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(2) Check that when the battery voltage is directly applied to
the fuel pump check terminal (black), the operating sound
of the pump can be heard.
NOTESince the fuel pump is installed in the fuel
.tank, its
operating sound cannot be readily heard. Remove the fuel
tank cap and listen to the operating sound through the filter
port.
(3) Hold the high pressure fuel hose between your fingers and
check that the fuel pressure can be felt.

Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressurein the fuel pipe line.
(3) Set a fuel pressure gauge on the special tool, placing an
adequate O-ring or gasket between the gauge end special
tool prevent fuel leaks.
(4) Attach the special tool set in step (3) to the delivery pipe
between high pressure hose.
(5) Connect the 0 battery terminal.
(6) Connect a jumper wire to the terminal for activation of the
fuel pump and to the positive
0 terminal of the battery to
activate the fuel pump. With fuel pressure applied, check to
be sure that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure
gauge and the special tool connection part.
(7) Disconnect the jumper wire (from the terminal for activation
’of the fuel pump) to stop the fuel pump.
(8) Start the engine and let it idle.
d(9) Measure the fuel pressure during idling.
Standard value:
Approx. 270 kPa (38 psi) at curb idle
Approx. 235 kPa (34 psi) at curb idle

)Check to be sure that the fuel pressure during idling does
not decrease even after the engine is raced a few times.
(12)Use a finger to gently press the fuel return hose while
repeatedly racing the engine, and check to be sure that
there is fuel pressure in the return hose also.
NOTEThere will be no fuel pressure in the return hose if there is
insufficient fuel flow.

from the standard value range, check for the probable
cause by referring to the table below, and. then make the
appropriate repair.

(14)Stop the engine and check for a change of the value
indicated by the fuel pressure gauge. The condition is
normal if there is no decrease of the indicated value within~
two minutes.
,If there is a decrease of the indicated value, monitor the
:d ’speed of the decrease, and, referring to the table below,
determine the cause of the problem and make the
appropriate repair.
Condition
After the engine is stopped, thefuel pressure drops gradually.Probable cause
Injector leakage.
Leakage at the fuel pressure

Replace the injector.
Replace the fuel pressure regulator.
There is a sudden sharp drop of
the fuel pressure immediately
after the engine is stopped.The check valve (within the fuelpump) is not closed.Replace the fuel pump.
(15)Remove all remaining pressure from inside the fuel pipe.(16)Disconnect the fuel pressure gauge and the special tool
from the delivery pipe.
CautionBecause there will be.a slight amount of remaining
pressure in the fuel pipe line, use rags to cover so thatfuel doesn’t splatter.
(17)Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high-pressure hose
with a new one.(I 8)After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the delivery
pipe, tighten the installation bolt at the specified torque.
dTightening torque: 5.0 Nm (3.6 ftlbs.)
(19)Check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage.@ Apply battery voltage to the terminal for activation of
the fuel pump so as to activate the fuel pump.@ With fuel pressure applied, check for leakage of the fuel
line.

/ 8. FUEL
RETURN HOSE
(1) If the fuel pipe has a stepped part, connect the fuel
hose to the pipe securely, up to the stepped part, as
shown in the illustration.
Iti(2) If the fuel pipe does not have a stepped part, connect
the fuel hose to the pipe securely, so that it is the
standard value.
Standard value: 25
- 30 mm (1.0 - 1.2 in.)
15. INSTALLATION OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSEApply engine oil to the hose union.
Insert the hose, being careful not to damage the O-ring, and
tighten securely.
CautionBecause there is high pressure applied between the
fuel pump and the injection mixer, be especially sure
that there is no fuel leakage in this area.
12. INSTALLATION OF FUEL FILTER(1) When installing the fuel filter, first temporarily install the
filter to the filter bracket; then insert the main pipe at
the connector part of the high pressure fuel pipe, and
manually screw in the main pipe’s flare nut.
(2) Holding the fuel filter nut, tighten the fuel main pipe’s
flare nut and eye bolt at the specified torque. Then
tighten the filter to the bracket.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
M13FBCKIACCELERATOR CABLE INSPECTION AND
a ’ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the cruise control system, refer to
P. 13-l 58.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
(2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
(3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
(4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
(5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
(6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
(7) If there is too ‘much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.@ Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (without
starting the engine) and leave in that condition for
approximately 15 seconds.@Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, and
then secure the outer cable so that the free play of
th,einner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
1 - 2 mm (.04 - .08 in.)3-5 mm
(.12-.20 in.)
NOTE
\JIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the fixed SAS.
