cOutput Pressure Test: Install EFI fuel Systempressure tester (PN 2870982) in fuel line on PTa endof rail. NOTE: Use caution when removing hose. Therail may contain pressurized gas if <strong>engine</strong> has beenrecently run. Activate dealer mode using selectmonitor service harness plug, by connecting gray andblack test loads together or by jumping gray and blackwire terminals at diagnostic plug, then turning onignition switch. With pump running, system pressureshould be between 35 and 37 psi. A pressure readingof higher than normal indicates a faulty pressureregulator or an obstructed fuel return hose. Apressure reading lower than normal indicates a faultypressure regulator, a bad pump, or a restriction in fuelhoses or filters between tank and rail. If pressurestarts out normal and then gradually lowers, suspectthe fuel tank vent and/or any of the fuel filters or hoseswhich may restrict fuel delivery to the pump.Fuel pressure can also be checked with the gauge inplace and with the <strong>engine</strong> running. Pressure shouldbe checked at both idle and at operating RPM. Aplugged filter may show good pressure at idle butrestrict flow at operating RPM.Fuel RailThe fuel rail is the fuel distribution manifold for theinjectors. The injectors slip into fittings on theunderside of the rail which are sealed with a-Ringsaround the injectors. The rail stores fuel underpressure so that simply opening the injectors will allowfuel to pass from the fuel rail through the injectors andinto the throttle body. Pressure in the fuel rail iscontrolled by the pressure regulator.The fuel rail requires little if any service. Periodicallyinspect seal between rail and injectors and rail andregulator. If any leakage exists, replace a-Rings andrecheck for leaks.Return HoseThe return hose runs between the bottom of thepressure regulator and the top of the fuel tank. Itprovides a path for excess fuel from the fuel rail toreturn to the fuel tank. If this hose should becomeobstructed in any way, the excessive fuel pressure inthe rail will cause a rich operating condition.Pressure RegulatorThe fuel pressure regulator is mounted on theopposite end of the fuel rail from where the fuel enters.Its function is to maintain a consistent fuel pressurewithin the rail by allowing pressure above the desiredlevel to bleed off the rail, through the regulator, andback to the tank by way of the return hose. When thefuel pressure on the bottom of the regulatordiaphragm reaches between 35 and 37 psi, itovercomes the spring on the other side of thediaphragm and pushes it up. This opens the valve tothe return hose, allowing fuel to escape andmaintaining a specific pressure.4.45ENGINE ELECTRICALFuel System Maintenance and Testing8/94
