Pressure Regulator Check

1. Stop engine anddisconnect fuelpressure regulator vacuum
hose from intake manifold.
2. Plug intake manifold witharubber cap.
3. Connect variable vacuumsourcetofuel pressure regulator.
4. Start engine andread indication offuel pressure gaugeas
vacuum ischanged.

Fuel pressure shoulddecrease asvacuum increases. Ifresults
are unsatisfactory, replacefuelpressure regulator.
Injector Removal andInstallation

1. Release fuelpressure tozero.
2. Disconnect vacuumhosefrompressure regulator.
3. Disconnect fuelhoses fromfueltube assembly.
4. Disconnect injectorharness connectors.
5. Remove injectors withfueltube assembly.
• Push injector tailpiece.
• Donot pull onthe connector.
6. Install injectors.
• Clean exterior ofinjector tailpiece.
• Use new O-rings.
7. Install injectors withfueltube assembly tointake manifold.
8. Install fuelhoses tofuel tube assembly.
9. Reinstall anyparts removed inreverse orderofremoval.

CAUTION:
After properly connecting fuelhose toinjector andfuel tube
assembly, checkconnection forfuel leakage.

On
models equipped withairconditioner,
checks shouldbecarried outwhile theair
conditioner is"OFF".
On models equipped withautomatic
transaxle, whenchecking idlespeed, ignition
timing andmixture ratio,checks shouldbe
carried outwhile shiftlever isin "N" position.
When measuring "CO"percentage, insert
probe morethan40cm (15.7 in)into tailpipe.
Turn offheadlamps, heaterblower, rear
defogger. Keep frontwheels pointed straight ahead.
Make thecheck afterthecooling fanhas
stopped.
