Test NS-4C - Repairing Low Fuel Pressure
WARNING:
High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines. Open fuel system with caution. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE . DO NOT allow fuel pressure to exceed 70 psi (4.9 kg/cm2
) during step 1).
- With scan tool still actuating ASD fuel system, gently squeeze fuel return hose. Observe fuel pressure gauge. If fuel pressure is more than 43 psi (3.0 kg/cm2 ), stop ASD fuel system actuation. Replace fuel pressure regulator. Perform TEST VER-1A. If fuel pressure is 43 psi (3.0 kg/cm2 ) or less, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, stop ASD fuel system actuation. Inspect fuel lines between fuel rail/fuel pump for a kink or restriction. If kink or restriction present, repair as necessary. Perform TEST VER-1A. If a kink or restriction is not present, go to next step.
- Release fuel pressure. Remove fuel filter. Inspect fuel filter for a restriction. If fuel filter is restricted, ensure fuel tank is not contaminated and replace fuel filter. Perform TEST VER-1A. If fuel filter is not restricted, reinstall fuel filter. Ensure fuel tank is not contaminated and replace fuel pump and inlet strainer. Perform TEST VER-1A.
