Poor Fuel Economy Symptom
StepActionVa l u e ( s )Ye sNo
1DEFINITION:
Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is
noticeably lower than expected. Also, economy is
noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time,
as previously shown by an actual road test.
(Non-standard tires will cause odometer readings to be
incorrect, and that may cause fuel economy to appear
poor when it is actually normal.)

3. Connect the wiring connector to the fuel gauge unit.
TS23771
4. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
Tighten the fuel filler cap.
Check for leaks at the fuel gauge unit gasket.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
Fuel Injectors
Removal Procedure
NOTE: If the fuel injectors are leaking, the engine oil may
be contaminated with fuel. Check the oil for signs of
contamination and change the oil and the filter if
necessary.
NOTE: Use care in removing the fuel injectors in order to
prevent damage to the fuel injector electrical connector
pins or the fuel injector nozzles. The fuel injector is an
electrical component and should not be immersed in any
type of cleaner as this may damage the fuel injector.
IMPORTANT:Fuel injectors are serviced as a complete
assembly only.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Common Chamber in Engine Mechanical..
3. Remove the fuel rail. Refer to
Fuel Rail.

5. Remove the fuel injector assembly.
6. Remove the O-ring from the fuel injector.
7. Remove the O-ring backup from the fuel injector .
Inspection Procedure
1. Inspect the O-rings for cracks or leaks.
2. Replace worn or damaged O-rings.
3. Lubricate the new O-rings with engine oil before
installation.

Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE
ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
