Fuel Pressure Test

Special Tools Required 

• Fuel pressure gauge 07406-004000A
• Fuel pressure gauge attachment set 07AAJ-S6MA150

1. Relive the fuel pressure (see FUEL PRESSURE RELIEVING  ).
2. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (A). Attach the fuel pressure gauge set and fuel pressure gauge.

3. Start the engine and let it idle.
   • If the engine starts, go to step  5 .
   • If the engine does not start, go to step 4.
4. Check to see if the fuel pump is running: listen to the fuel fill port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on.
   • If the pump runs, go to step 5.
   • If the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit troubleshooting (see FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING  ).
5. Read the pressure gauge. The pressure should be 320 - 370 kPa (3.3 - 3.8 kgf/cm² 47-52psi).
   • If the pressure is OK, the test is complete.
   • If the pressure is out of specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel filter (see FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACEMENT  and FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT  ), then recheck the fuel pressure.
