Fuel System

1991 Cadillac Seville STSSECTION Fuel System
  1. Prior to checking fuel system for a no-start condition, check ignition for proper spark. Check for proper fuel pump pressure (approximately 40-47 psi or 2.8-3.3 kg/cm2 ; 40-50 psi or 2.8-3.5 kg/cm2 on Cadillac 4.9L PFI) and capacity (1 pt. or .47L in 30 seconds). See BASIC FUEL SYSTEM CHECKS in this article.
  2. Disconnect injector harness. Turn ignition on and check for battery voltage at each injector harness. See Fig 1-Fig 5 . Battery voltage should be present on one side of each injector. If battery voltage is not present, check for blown injector power fuse. If battery voltage is present on both injector terminals, check for wires shorted together.
