[13C] MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4G69> - - ON-VEHICLE SERVICE - FUEL PRESSURE TESTPRINT PAGE / INDEX / PRIOR / NEXT
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
  1. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line to prevent fuel gush out (Refer to ).
    2.  CAUTION
     Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure in the fuel pipe line.
       
    1. Disconnect the high-pressure fuel hose at the delivery pipe side.
    1. Assemble the fuel pressure measurement tools as follows.
       
    <When using the fuel pressure gauge set (special tool)>
    1. Remove the union joint and bolt from the special tool Adaptor hose (MD998709) and attach the special tool Hose adaptor (MD998742) to the adaptor hose.
    1. Via a gasket, install the special tool Fuel pressure gauge set (MB991637 or MB991981) into the special tool that has already assembled as described in (a) above.
       
    <When using the fuel pressure gauge>
    1. Remove the union joint and bolt from special tool Adaptor hose (MD998709) and attach the special tool Hose adaptor (MD998742) to the adaptor hose.
    1. Via a suitable O-ring or gasket, install the fuel pressure gauge to the special tool that has already assembled as described in (a) above.
    1. Install the assembled fuel pressure measurement tools between the fuel rail and fuel high-pressure hose.
      2.  CAUTION
       To prevent damage to the MUT-II/III, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II/III.
    1. Connect the MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.
    1. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position (But do not start the engine).
    1. Select "Item No. 07" from the MUT-II/III Actuator test to drive the fuel pump. Check that there are no fuel leaks from any parts.
    1. Finish the actuator test or turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
    1. Start the engine and run at idle.
    1. Measure fuel pressure while the engine is running at idle.
      2. Standard value: Approximately. 324 kPa at curb idle
    1. Check to see that fuel pressure at idle does not drop even after the engine has been raced several times.
    1. If any of fuel pressure measured in steps 10 to 11 is out of specification, troubleshoot and repair according to the table below.
    Symptom
    		 Probable cause
    		 Remedy
    • Fuel pressure too low
    • Fuel pressure drops after racing
    		 Clogged fuel filter
    		 Replace fuel filter
    Fuel leaking to return side due to poor fuel regulator valve seating or settled spring
    		 Replace fuel pressure regulator
    Low fuel pump delivery pressure
    		 Replace fuel pump
    Fuel pressure too high
    		 Binding valve in fuel pressure regulator
    		 Replace fuel pressure regulator
    Clogged fuel return hose or pipe
    		 Clean or replace hose or pipe
    1. Stop the engine and check change of fuel pressure gauge reading. Normal if the reading does not drop within 2 minutes. If it does, observe the rate of drop and troubleshoot and repair according to the table below.
    Symptom
    		 Probable cause
    		 Remedy
    Fuel pressure drops gradually after engine is stopped
    		 Leaky injector
    		 Replace injector
    Leaky fuel regulator valve seat
    		 Replace fuel pressure regulator
    Fuel pressure drops sharply immediately after engine is stopped
    		 Check valve in fuel pump is held open
    		 Replace fuel pump
    1. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line (Refer to ).
      2.  CAUTION
       Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure in the fuel pipe line.
    1. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and special tool from the delivery pipe.
    1. Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high pressure hose with a new one. Furthermore, apply engine oil to the new O-ring before replacement.
    1. Fit the fuel high pressure hose over the delivery pipe and tighten the bolt to specified toque.
      2. Tightening torque: 8.8 ± 1.9 N·m
    1. Check for any fuel leaks by following the procedure in step 7.
    1. Disconnect the MUT-II/III.
