PRECAUTION
1. PRECAUTION
2. DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
CAUTION:
HINT: There is a case that DTC P0171 (system to lean) is output.
3. FUEL SYSTEM
a. When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these procedures.
b. Observe the following precautions when removing and installing the fuel injectors.
c. Install the injector to the delivery pipe and cylinder head, as shown in the illustration. Before installing the injector, be sure to apply grease or gasoline on the place where the delivery pipe contacts the O−ring of the injector.
d. Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel tube connectors.
3. Disconnect the connector from the hose while pinching part A with your fingers, as shown in the illustration.
If the connector and the pipe are stuck, pinch the fuel pipe, push and pull the connector to disconnect it and pull it out. Do not use any tools.
If dirt or any other substance is found on the sealing surface that might interfere with the seal, clean the area thoroughly before assembly.
6. To protect the disconnected pipe and connector from damage and contamination, cover it with a vinyl bag.
e Observe these precautions when connecting the fuel tube connector.
4. CHECK FOR FUEL LEAKS
a. Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL LEAKS
a. When using the hand−held tester: Check fuel pump operation.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine.
b. When not using the hand−held tester: Check fuel pump operation.
NOTICE: Pay close attention to the terminal connecting position to avoid a malfunction.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine.
2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
Fuel tube: Part No. 23801−20190
d. Remove the fuel pipe clamp from the fuel tube connector.
e. Disconnect the fuel tube connector from the fuel pipe by pinching part A with your fingers, as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION:
SST 09268−41047 (90467−13001, 95336−08070), 09268−45014 (09268−41200, 09268−41220, 09268−41250)
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm2, 44 to 50 ps
i)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm2, 44 to 50 psi)
o. Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2, 21 psi)
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.
CAUTION: Always read the precautions before connecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSY
a. Check the injector resistance.
1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard: 13.4 to 14.2 Ω at 20 C (68 F)
If the result is not as specified, replace the injector.
b. Check the injector injection.
CAUTION:
Take every precaution regarding safe handling of both the fuel and the electricity.
1. Purchase the new fuel tube and take out the fuel tube connector from its pipe.
Fuel tube: Parts No. 23801−20190
2. Connect SST and the fuel tube connector to the fuel pipe.
CAUTION: Always read the precautions before connecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
HINT: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector to contain the gasoline spray.
6. Operate the fuel pump
7. Connect SST (wire) to the injector and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with a graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.
SST 09842−30070
Standard:
NOTICE: Always turn on and off the voltage on the battery side, not the fuel pump side.
If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector.
c. Check fuel leakage.
1. In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
Fuel drop: 1 drop or less per 12 minutes
2. INSPECT FUEL PUMP
a. Check the fuel pump resistance.
1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard: 0.2 to 3.0 W at 20 C (68 F)
b. Check fuel pump operation.
1. Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.
NOTICE:
Inspect fuel pump
