Differential Control Pressure

  1. Close valve on pressure gauge. Activate fuel pump with jumper switch. Leave DPR disconnected. DPR reading should be 2.9-7.0 psi (.2-.5 kg/cm2 ) less than system pressure. If pressure is incorrect, disconnect lower chamber return line and measure volume.
  2. Close open port to diaphragm pressure regulator. Activate fuel pump with jumper switch. Fuel volume should be .14-.16 qts. (.13-.15L) for period of one minute. If volume is correct, replace DPR. If volume is incorrect, replace fuel distributor.
  3. Close valve on pressure gauge. Install Test Harness (1315A/1) between DPR and vehicle harness. Set multimeter to DCA 200 mA scale. Connect multimeter to test harness. Disconnect wiring to coolant temperature sensor. Connect 15 k/ohm side of Test Resistor (VW 1490) to sensor wiring.
  4. Turn on ignition and fuel pump. Differential pressure should be 10-17.5 psi (.7-1.2 kg/cm2 ) less than system pressure. DPR current should be 50-80 mA. If pressure is incorrect and current is correct, replace DPR.
  5. If both pressure and current readings are incorrect, remove test harness from DPR. Ensure resistance of DPR is 17.5-21.5 ohms. If reading is incorrect, replace DPR.
  6. If reading is correct, check ground from temperature sensor to cold start valve. If ground is good, check power supply fuse. If fuse is okay, check terminals on ECU connector. If connector is okay, replace ECU.
