Fuel System
- Prior to checking fuel system for a no-start condition, check ignition for adequate spark. Check for proper fuel pump pressure and capacity. See BASIC FUEL SYSTEM CHECKS.
- Crank engine and watch for injector spray. If injector spray occurs, go to step 5). If no spray occurs, disconnect injector harness and check for battery voltage at harness. Battery voltage should be present on one of the injector terminals. If battery voltage is not present, check for blown injector power fuse. If battery voltage is present on both terminals, check for wires shorted to one another.
- If battery voltage is present on only one terminal, connect injector test light to injector harness. Crank engine and note light. If light flashes, check for stored ECM codes. If no codes are present, refer to HARD START symptom in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. If light does not flash, momentarily touch test light from battery voltage to ECM RPM reference terminal (circuit No. 430). See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
- Each time test light is removed from ECM RPM reference terminal, injector test light should flash. If test light does not flash, check for open in RPM reference wire or injector drive (ground) circuit or replace faulty ECM.
- If injector spray occurred while cranking engine, disconnect injector harness and crank engine. If injector spray or leakage occurs, this could cause a no-start condition due to excessive fuel being delivered during cranking. Repair faulty injector or injector seal. If no spray or leakage occurs, refer to HARD START symptom in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
