Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Fuel PressureINSPECTION
CAUTION:
^ Before removing the fuel pressure gauge, release the fuel pressure.
^ Be careful not to spill fuel.
^ Catch the fuel from hoses using a container or cloth.
NOTE: Check or replace the fuel pump and fuel delivery line if the fuel pressure is out of the standard.
1. Remove the collector cover.
2. Release the fuel pressure.
3. Open the fuel filler lid, and remove the fuel filler cap.
4. Disconnect the fuel delivery hose and connect the fuel pressure gauge.
1. Disconnect the fuel delivery hose using the ST1.
ST1. 42099AE000 QUICK CONNECTOR RELEASE
2. Connect the fuel pressure gauge with ST2 and ST3.
NOTE:
ST2 is a SUBARU genuine part.
ST2 42075AG690 FUEL HOSE

5. Start the engine.
6. Measure the fuel pressure after warming up the engine.
Fuel pressure:
Standard. 338 - 348 kPa (3.4 - 3.5 kgf/cm2, 49 - 50.5 psi)
NOTE: The fuel pressure gauge registers 10 to 20 kPa (0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm 2, 1 to 3 psi) higher than standard values during high-altitude operations.
