ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-5
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
After making sure that engine is cold, relief fuel pressure as fol-
lows.
1) Place transmission gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift selector
lever to “P” range for A/T vehicle), set parking brake, and
block drive wheels.
2) Remove fuel pump relay (1) from its connector.
3) Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel
tank and then reinstall it.
4) Start engine and run it till it stops for lack of fuel. Repeat
cranking engine 2 – 3 times of about 3 seconds each time to
dissipate fuel pressure in lines. Fuel connections are now
safe for servicing.
5) Upon completion of servicing, install fuel pump relay to relay
box.
Fuel Leakage Check Procedure
After performing any service on fuel system, check to make sure
that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate fuel pump)
and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply fuel pres-
sure to fuel line (till fuel pressure is felt by hand placed on
fuel return hose).
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel leakages
from any part of fuel system. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.

REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line by referring to Section
6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Drain coolant.
4) Remove strut tower bar (2).
5) Disconnect coupler from intake air temp. sensor, and MAF
sensor.
6) Remove surge tank cover (1).
7) Remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe (1) and surge tank pipe (2) as one component. Do not
disassemble them, when removing and reinstalling. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug and radiator cap while engine and radiator are
still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under
pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.

8) After checking fuel pressure, remove fuel pressure gauge
(1).
9) Remove fuel pressure gauge, hose and 3-way joint.
10) Connect fuel feed hose and clamp it securely.
11) With engine “OFF” and ignition switch “ON”, check for fuel
leaks.
Fuel pump
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1) Remove filler cap and turn ON ignition switch (2). Then fuel
pump operating sound should be heard from fuel filler (1) for
about 3 seconds and stop. Be sure to reinstall fuel filler cap
after checking.
If above check result is not satisfactory, advance to “DIAG-
NOSTIC FLOW TABLE B-1” in Section 6-1
2) Fuel pressure should be felt at fuel return hose (1) for 3 sec-
onds after ignition switch ON.
If fuel pressure is not felt, advance to “DIAGNOSTIC FLOW
TABLE B-3” in Section 6-1. CAUTION:
As fuel feed line is still under high fuel pressure, make
sure to release fuel pressure according to following pro-
cedures.
Place fuel container under joint.
Cover joint with rag and loosen joint nut slowly to
release fuel pressure gradually.
CAUTION:
When fuel filler cap is removed in any procedure, work
must be done in a well-ventilated area, keep away from
any open flames and without smoking.
