Exhaust System Backpressure
The exhaust system can be tested with a vacuum or pressure
gauge. If using a pressure gauge, remove HO2S or air injection check
valve (if equipped). Connect a 0-5 psi pressure gauge and run engine
at 2500 RPM. If exhaust system backpressure is greater than 2 psi,
exhaust system or catalytic converter is plugged.
If using a vacuum gauge, connect vacuum gauge hose to intake
manifold vacuum port. Start engine. Observe vacuum gauge. Open
throttle part way and hold steady. If vacuum gauge indication slowly
drops after stabilizing, inspect exhaust system for restriction.
FUEL SYSTEM
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
WARNING: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel
injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact
engine or electrical components.
RELIEVING FUEL PRESSURE
1) On Diamante, disconnect fuel pump harness connector at
fuel tank from underneath vehicle. On Montero and Montero Sport,
remove cargo compartment carpet, remove access plate and disconnect
fuel pump harness connector. On all other models, remove rear seat
cushion, remove access plate (if required) and disconnect fuel pump
harness connector.
2) On all models, start engine. Let engine run until it
stops. Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Connect
fuel pump harness connector. Install rear seat and/or carpet as
necessary.
WARNING: Before disconnecting high pressure fuel hose at fuel
Page 704 of 1501
delivery pipe, cover fuel hose connection with a rag. Some
residual fuel pressure may still be in system.
FUEL PRESSURE
1) Relieve fuel pressure. See RELIEVING FUEL PRESSURE. On
models with fuel rail service valve, connect fuel pressure gauge to
fuel rail. On models without fuel rail service valve, disconnect high
pressure fuel inlet line at fuel rail. Remove throttle body bracket
(if necessary). Connect fuel pressure gauge with adapter between fuel
rail and high pressure fuel inlet line. See Fig. 1.

2) On Eclipse 2.0L non-turbo and Montero Sport, use scan tool
to operate fuel pump. On all other models, operate fuel pump by
connecting battery voltage to fuel pump test terminal. See
FUEL PUMP TEST TERMINAL LOCATION table. Ensure no fuel leaks are
present. Disconnect battery voltage from fuel pump test terminal.

( 6) - On main wiring harness, near wiper motor on firewall,

\
\
\
\
\
\
3) Start engine and allow it to idle. Measure fuel pressure
with vacuum hose connected to fuel pressure regulator. Record fuel
pressure reading. See FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE table. Disconnect and plug
vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator. Record fuel pressure
reading.
4) Check for fuel pressure in fuel return hose by gently
pinching hose while increasing engine speed. If fuel volume is low,
fuel pressure in return hose will not be felt. Increase engine speed
to 2500-3000 RPM, 2-3 times. Return engine to idle. Fuel pressure
should not drop when engine is returned to idle.
5) Turn ignition off. Ensure fuel pressure reading does not
decrease within 2 minutes. If a decrease is noted, monitor speed of
decrease.
6) If fuel pressure is lower than specification, fuel
pressure drops at idle after increasing engine speed to 2500-3000 RPM,
or no fuel pressure in fuel return hose can be felt, check for clogged
fuel filter, or faulty fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump.
7) If fuel pressure is greater than specification, check for
a faulty fuel pressure regulator or plugged fuel return line. If fuel
pressure does not change when vacuum hose to regulator is connected or
disconnected, check for a leaking or clogged vacuum hose to fuel
pressure regulator or faulty fuel pressure regulator.
8) If fuel pressure decreases suddenly after engine is
stopped, check valve in fuel pump is not seated. Replace fuel pump. If
fuel pressure drops slowly, fuel injector is leaking or fuel pressure
regulator valve seat is leaking. Check for faulty fuel injector or
fuel pressure regulator. Repair as necessary.
9) When fuel pressure test is complete, repeat fuel pressure
release procedure before disconnecting fuel pressure gauge. Install
NEW "O" ring at end of high pressure fuel inlet line. Check for fuel
leaks.
