GENERAL INFORMATION
There are two basic types of fuel injection systems. Port Fuel Injection (PFI)
uses separate injectors to supply the fuel to each cylinder.
Throttle Body Injection (TBI) injects fuel from a position above the throttle
plate on the intake manifold. On both systems, there is a supply side, which
brings fuel to the injectors, and a return side which brings unused fuel back
to the tank.
Basically, there are three ways to check fuel pressure. First, many domestic
cars with PFI are equipped with a special test port. Simply connect the proper
adaptor to the gauge assembly, thread the adaptor to the test port, and run
the test (section 15). The second is an end-of-hose connection. Some older PFI
systems have a flexible hose connection at the cold start injector. Connect
our single barb fitting (section 18) with a hose clamp to run the test. Also,
some systems have fuel bolts or banjo-type fittings as access points (section
18).
The third is in-line connecting. This means installing the proper adaptor(s)
in series with the fuel line (sections 16, 17 & 19).
Unless a Schrader-type test port is available, most manufacturers require that
you relieve the fuel pressure before entering or leaving the system.
To relieve the pressure, it may be necessary to remove the fuel pump
connector, relay, or fuse. Some models may have two fuel pumps – make sure
both are disabled. After the pump(s) are disabled, run the engine until it
stalls, then tries to restart it for five to ten seconds. The system is now
ready for testing. Once the proper adaptors and gauge are in place, reactivate
the fuel pump and run tests.
When finished testing, repeat the above procedure before removing the tester.
BASIC DIAGNOSIS
Fuel-injected engines require precise fuel pressure as well as adequate
volume. Without the correct pressure and volume, performance and fuel economy
can suffer. Always consult the correct repair manual for accurate
specifications.
When running tests, it may help to picture the fuel system as a circle. Fuel
is pumped from the tank to the fuel regulator and injectors, and the unused
fuel is then returned to the tank. The fuel regulator serves as a divider
between the supply side and the return side.
Lower than recommended pressure usually indicates a problem on the supply side
of the circle. Likely causes would include a damaged or restricted fuel line,
clogged fuel filter, defective fuel pump or regulator, or improper tank
ventilation. Higher than normal pressure usually indicates a problem on the
return side of the circle. Likely causes are a damaged or restricted fuel
line, poor venting of the tank, or a defective fuel regulator.
You may be able to pinpoint problem areas on the return side by resetting. For
example – by removing the return line near the fuel regulator and putting the
fuel line into a proper container, a retest that still shows a high reading
would indicate a faulty regulator. If the reading would drop into the normal
range, you know that problem is further down the return line or the tank.
Again, always consult the manufacturer of the vehicle or a good repair manual
for specific troubleshooting procedures. When testing is completed, make sure
the fuel line is reassembled correctly. Replace any o-rings or washers, and
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper torque on any bolts or
connections. Check the entire system thoroughly for any leaks.
Following are some typical test procedures for different models.
FUEL PRESSURE TESTS
GENERAL MOTORS (TYPICAL)
CAUTION: The fuel system test begins with checking the fuel injection
system pressure. High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines and
components. Relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel system
components.
6.1. FUEL PRESSURE CHECK FOR TBI
6.1.1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the fuel filler cap.
Since these TBI units contain an internal bleed-down feature, after a short
time, system fuel pressure should dissipate.
6.1.2. Remove the air cleaner and plug the thermal vacuum port on the throttle
body. When removing the fuel line, always use 2 wrenches. Install Fuel
Pressure Gauge and Adaptor in fuel system between steel line and flexible
hose.
CAUTION: DO NOT pinch off the fuel return line completely. DO NOT exceed
pressure build-up of more than 13 psi. as a regulator may be damaged.
6.1.3. Start the engine and observe the fuel pressure reading. Fuel pressure
should read 9-13 psi. (if fuel pressure is okay, proceed to step 4). If fuel
pressure is low, gradually pinch off the fuel return line to the fuel tank. If
the pressure remains low, check and/or replace the fuel filter or fuel pump.
If pressure increases to greater than 13 psi, replace the fuel pressure
regulator.
6.1.4. Allow fuel pressure to dissipate. Remove the pressure gauge and
reconnect the fuel line. Start the engine and watch for fuel system leaks.
6.2. FUEL PRESSURE CHECK OF PFI
Disconnect the fuel pump at the rear body connector (electrical). Start the
engine and run the engine until it stalls. Crank the starter for 3 seconds to
remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines. Reconnect the rear body
connector.
Connect the Fuel Pressure Gauge to the fuel pressure fitting on the fuel rail.
Reconnect the fuel pump.
With the gauge installed at the fuel rail connector, turn the ignition on.
With ignition on and engine off, pressure should read within specifications.
Start engine. Pressure should drop 3-10 psi.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
FORD (TYPICAL)
CAUTION: High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines and component
parts. Relieve pressure before attempting to open the system for testing or
component replacement. DO NOT allow fuel to run onto engine or electrical
parts or allow an open flame in the area while testing fuel system components.
7.1. FUEL PRESSURE CHECK FOR PFI
7.1.1. On 2.2L & 2.2L Turbo models, relieve fuel line pressure by
disconnecting the fuel pump relay and starting the engine. After the engine
stalls, turn the ignition off. Reconnect the fuel pump relay.
7.1.2. On all other models, remove the fuel tank cap. Using Fuel Pressure
Gauge, release pressure from the system at the pressure relief valve (Schrader
valve) on the fuel injection manifold rail.
7.1.3. The fuel pump may be activated by grounding the fuel pump lead at the
SELF-TEST connector. Use a jumper lead and ground the “FP” terminal with the
ignition on. This activates the fuel pump.
CAUTION: Inspect the fuel system for leaks or damage before testing the
fuel pump.
7.2. FUEL PRESSURE TEST FOR TBI
7.2.1. Disconnect wiring at inertia switch. The inertia switch is located
behind a trim panel on the right rear side of the cargo area on Sable and
Taurus station wagons and behind a trim panel on the left side of the trunk on
all other models. Crank the engine for at least 15 seconds to reduce system
fuel pressure.
7.2.2. Disconnect the fuel supply line at the throttle body. Install in-Line
Adaptor and fuel Pressure gauge at fuel filter. Reconnect the inertia switch
and start the engine. Check fuel pressure at idle and when accelerating the
engine.
Pressure should remain stable through the entire period of acceleration.
7.2.3. If gauge readings are correct, disconnect the inertia switch. Crank the
engine for 15 seconds to reduce fuel pressure. Remove gauge and in-line
adaptor. Install the original fuel line and connect the inertia switch. Start
the engine and check for fuel leaks.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
CHRYSLER (TYPICAL)
CAUTION: High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines and component
parts. Relieve pressure before attempting to open the system for testing or
component replacement. DO NOT allow fuel to run onto engine or electrical
parts while testing fuel system components.
8.1. FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
8.1.1. Fuel Pressure must be fully released before opening the fuel system or
removing any fuel-carrying components. To release pressure in the tank, open
the fuel tank cap slowly.
8.1.2. To release the remaining pressure in the system, disconnect the fuel
pump connector (electrical) in the boot and crank engine.
8.2. TBI FUEL PUMP TEST
8.2.1. Release fuel pressure. Disconnect the 5/16” fuel supply hose. Connect
fuel system pressure Gauge between fuel supply hose and engine fuel line.
8.2.2. Turn the ignition on. Activate the fuel pump. If the fuel pump pressure
is at specification, the fuel system is functioning properly.
8.2.3. If fuel pressure is not to specification, record pressure. Install a
fuel pressure gauge in the fuel supply line at the rear of the vehicle between
the fuel tank and the fuel filter.
8.2.4. Activate the fuel pump. Record pressure reading. If fuel pressure is 5
psi higher than the first pressure reading, replace the fuel filter.
8.2.5. If no change in pressure reading is observed, gently squeeze the fuel
return hose. If fuel pressure increases, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If no change in fuel pressure is observed, the problem is plugged fuel pump
filter sock or defective fuel pump.
8.2.6. If fuel pressure is more than specification, remove the fuel return
hose at the rear of the vehicle. Connect an extension hose to the return hose.
Place
8.2.7. hose in an approved container with at least a 2-gallon capacity.
8.2.8. Activate the fuel pump. If fuel pressure is now within specification,
check the in-tank return fuel hose for kinking. Replace fuel tank assembly if
8.2.9. in-tank reservoir check valve or aspirator jet is plugged.
8.2.10. If fuel pressure is still more than specification, remove the fuel
return hose from the throttle body. Connect a substitute hose to the throttle
body return nipple. Place another end of the hose in an approved container.
8.2.11. Activate the fuel pump. If fuel pressure is at specification, check
for a restricted fuel return line between the throttle body and the fuel tank.
If no change was observed, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
NOTE: Perform fuel pump test with fuel tank at least half full. Before
disconnecting a fuel line during testing, repeat the fuel pressure release
procedure.
8.3. PFI FUEL PUMP TEST
8.3.1. Release fuel pressure. Remove the cap from the service valve on the
fuel rail. Connect fuel system pressure Gauge to service valve.
8.3.2. Turn the ignition on. Activate the fuel pump. If the fuel pump pressure
is at specification, the fuel system is functioning properly.
8.3.3. If fuel pressure is not to specification, record pressure and remove
the gauge. Activate pump. Ensure no fuel leaks from the service valve.
Install cap on service valve.
8.3.4. If fuel pressure is not to specification, install a pressure gauge in
the fuel supply line between the fuel tank and fuel filter at the rear of the
vehicle.
Activate the fuel pump.
8.3.5. Record pressure reading. If fuel pressure is 5 psi higher than the
first pressure reading, replace the fuel filter. If no change in pressure
reading is observed, gently squeeze the fuel return hose.
8.3.6. If fuel pressure increases, replace the fuel pressure regulator. If no
change in fuel pressure is observed, the problem is plugged fuel pump filter
sock or defective fuel pump.
8.3.7. If fuel pressure is more than specification, remove the fuel return
hose at the rear of the vehicle. Connect an extension hose to the return hose.
Place the hose in an approved container with at least a 2-gallon capacity.
8.3.8. Activate the fuel pump. If fuel pressure is now within specification,
check the in-tank return fuel hose for kinking. Replace fuel tank assembly if
8.3.9. in-tank reservoir check valve or aspirator jet is plugged.
8.3.10. If fuel pressure is still more than specification, remove the fuel
return hose from the pressure regulator. Connect a substitute hose to the fuel
pressure regulator. Place another end of the hose in an approved container.
8.3.11. Activate the fuel pump. If fuel pressure is at specification, check
for a restricted fuel line. If no change was observed, replace the fuel
pressure regulator.
NOTE: Perform fuel pump test with fuel tank at least half full. Before
disconnecting a fuel line during testing, repeat the fuel pressure release
procedure.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
HONDA / ACURA(TYPICAL)
CAUTION: High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines and component
parts. Relieve pressure before attempting to open the system for testing or
component replacement. DO NOT allow fuel to run onto engine or electrical
parts, or allow an open flame in the area while testing fuel system
components.
The basic diagnosis of the fuel system should begin with determining fuel
system pressure. If the fuel pump fails to run, inspect the power supply to
the main relay. If all power supplies are present (i.e. battery, ignition, and
starter switch during cranking), perform a functional test of the main relay.
9.1. RELIEVING FUEL PRESSURE
9.1.1. Remove the negative battery cable.
9.1.2. Loosen fuel tank filler cap.
9.1.3. Place a clean shop rag around the fuel filter.
9.1.4. Slowly loosen the 6mm service bolt on top of the fuel filter (one
complete turn) to relieve system pressure.
9.1.5. Always replace the washer under a 6mm bolt after loosening.
9.2. PRESSURE TESTING
9.2.1. After relieving fuel pressure connect Fuel Pressure Gauge at the 6mm
service bolt location. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the engine
and note the pressure. If the vehicle will not start, has a spark, and no fuel
pressure is evident, inspect the fuel pump main relay.
9.2.2 Disconnect a vacuum hose from the pressure regulator and inspect for a
manifold vacuum. If a vacuum is not present, check for restrictions in the
vacuum port or hose.
Plug vacuum hose and note fuel gauge reading. The gauge reading should be
36-41 psi. Pressure should have risen slightly when the vacuum hose was
disconnected from the pressure regulator.
9.2.3 If pressure is higher than specified, inspect for pinched or clogged
fuel return line between the fuel rail and fuel tank. If no problem is found
in the fuel line, replace the pressure regulator.
9.2.4 If pressure is lower than specified, inspect for the plugged fuel
filter. If the filter is not plugged, lightly pinch off the fuel return line.
If fuel pressure does not rise, replace the fuel pump. If fuel pressure does
rise, replace the pressure regulator.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
TOYOTA (TYPICAL)
CAUTION: High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines and component parts.
Relieve pressure before attempting to open the system for testing or component
replacement. DO NOT allow fuel to run onto engine or electrical parts, or
allow an open flame in the area while testing.
10.1. FUEL PUMP QUICK TEST
10.1.1. Turn ignition on, with engine off. On all except Van, place jumper
wire across”+B” and “FP” terminals of engine check connector in the engine
compartment. On Van, place jumper wire across the 2-wire fuel pump check
connector (White/Black and Green wires) located under the driver’s seat.
10.1.2. On all models, listen to the fuel pump’s running sound. Feel for
pressure in the fuel line between filter and fuel rail. Turn the ignition off.
Remove the jumper wire. If fuel pump sound was present and the fuel hose
showed pressure, go to FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST.
10.1.3. If no pressure or fuel pump sound was present, on all except Van,
connect a jumper wire from battery sources to the “FP” terminal of the engine
check connector.
10.1.4. On all except Van, if the fuel pump does not run or no pressure is
felt in line, check for the defective fuel pump. Check for open circuits
between engine check connect and fuel pump or poor fuel pump ground.
NOTE: All models use an in-tank fuel pump. The fuel pump contains an
internal relief valve and check valve.
If the fuel pump running after the battery source is connected to the “FP”
terminal in step 3, check EFI main relay and related wiring. Also, check “EFI”
and “IGN” fuses.
10.2. FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
NOTE: Before testing fuel pressure, check all fuel delivery and return
lines for leaks.
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Turn the ignition off. On all except
Pickup and 4Runner with 3VZ-E, place container or shop towel under cold start
injector. Slowly loosen the cold start injector union bolt to relieve fuel
pressure. Remove the union bolt and 2 gaskets.
Install fuel pressure gauge to the cold start injector delivery pipe. Wipe off
excess fuel.
10.2.1. On all except Van, install a jumper wire between engine check
connector “FP” and” B” pins. On Van, place jumper wire across 2-wire fuel pump
check connector (White/Black and Green wires).
10.2.2. On all models, turn the ignition on, with the engine off. Measure fuel
pressure. Fuel pressure should be the same as regulated pressure.
10.2.3. If fuel pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator. If fuel
pressure is low, check the following:
10.2.4. Fuel hoses and connections, Fuel filter, Fuel pump, Fuel pressure
regulator.
10.2.5. Remove the jumper wire installed in step 3. Start the engine and run
for 2 minutes. Disconnect the vacuum sensing hose from the fuel pressure
regulator and plug the hose end. The fuel pressure regulator is mounted on the
fuel rail.
NOTE: On Celica (3S-GTE), Corolla (4A-GE), MR2, PickupMRunner, and Van it
is necessary to allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes to stabilize fuel
pressure. These models are equipped with a fuel pressure-up system which
temporarily increases fuel pressure after a hot start.
10.2.6. Measure regulated fuel pressure at idle speed.
10.2.7. With the engine still idling, reconnect the fuel pressure regulator
sensing hose. Measure regulated pressure at idle.
10.2.8. If regulated pressure was not specified, check the vacuum sensing hose
fuel pressure regulator. On models so equipped, check the fuel pressure-up
system.
10.2.9. Stop engine. Note fuel pressure. Leave the fuel pressure gauge
attached to the engine for at least 5 minutes.
10.2.10. Residual fuel pressure after 5 minutes should be at least 21 psi (1.5
kg/cm²). If pressure is not as specified check for leaking injectors, fuel
pressure regulator, or bad check valve in the fuel pump.
10.2.11. Relieve fuel system pressure. Remove the fuel pressure gauge.
Reconnect cold start injector. Run the engine and check for fuel leaks.
