Fuel Delivery Diagnosis
- Install fuel pressure gauge. See BASIC FUEL SYSTEM CHECKS . Using scan tool, command fuel pump relay on and off for 3 pulses. If fuel pressure is 38-44 psi (2.7-3.1 kg/cm2 ), fuel quality may be at fault. If fuel pressure is not as specified, go to next step.
- If fuel pressure is not present, go to next step. If fuel pressure is present but not to specification, diagnose fuel system. See FUEL SYSTEMS in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. Repair as necessary.
- Turn ignition off for at least 10 seconds. Using test light connected to ground, probe FUEL PUMP fuse (10-amp) located in instrument panel fuse block. Turn ignition on. If test light illuminates for 2 seconds and then turns off, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 5.
- Check fuel pump battery feed circuit and fuel pump relay ground circuit for open or poor connections. Repair as necessary. If circuits are okay, fuel pump is faulty.
- Using scan tool, command fuel pump relay on and off. If relay does not click, replace relay. If relay clicks, check I/P BATT fuse (30-amp) located in underhood fuse block. Replace if necessary. If fuse is okay, repair open in fuel pump relay battery feed circuit.
