System Inspection

System Inspection

1. Check blocking of intake system
(1) Visually/physically inspect the blocking in intake system for following items
- Throttle body gasket and damage
- Clogging of Air cleaner
- Blocking in intake manifold and injector caused by any foreign substance
(2) Has a problem found ?
YES
1) Repair or replace it, and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
1) Go to "Check fuel pressure" as follows.
2. Check fuel pressure

CAUTION:
- Be cautious that Fuel is explosive and an empty fuel tank can still contain explosive gases.When working on fuel system make sure to supply adequate ventilation to the work area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.
- The fuel system remains under pressure when the engine is not running. Release fuel system pressure before disconnecting any fuel line to reduce the chance of personal injury or fire damage to vehicle components.

(1) Start the engine and disconnect the fuel pump relay.
(2) Wait until fuel in fuel line is exhausted and the engine stalls.
(3) Turn the ignition switch OFF position.
(4) Install the fuel special service tool for measuring the fuel pressure between the delivery pipe and the fuel feed hose.
(5) Connect the fuel pump relay.
(6) With fuel pressure applied, check that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure gauge or connection part.
(7) Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle.
A. Specifications: 374 - 384 kPa (3.82 - 3.92 kg/cm2, 54.3 - 55.8 psi)
(8) Stop the engine and check for a change in the fuel pressure gauge reading.
A. Specifications: After engine stops, the gauge reading should hold for about 5 minutes.
(9) Is the measured fuel pressure within specifications ?
YES
1) Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Repair or replace according to the table below.





3. Check fuel leakage in injector
(1) IG "OFF" after checking the fuel pressure test.
(2) Stop engine and check for a change in the fuel pressure gauge reading for 5 minutes.
Specification: After engine stops, fuel gauge reading is maintained for 5 minutes.
(3) Is the fuel gauge reading within specification ?
YES
1) Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) There is a fuel leakage in injector. Repair or replace it, and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
