The engine coolant temperature must be below the operating temperature to avoid irregular fuel pressure readings due to hot soak fuel boiling. - 5
The fuel pressure should be within the specified range. If the fuel pressure is not within the specified range, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis. - 6
The fuel pressure should reach a steady value. If the fuel pressure does not reach a steady value, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis. - 7
The fuel injectors are flowing properly if the pressure drop value for each fuel injector is within 10 kPa (1.5 psi) of the average pressure drop value. Calculate the pressure drop value for each fuel injector by subtracting the second pressure reading from the first pressure reading. See INJECTOR BALANCE TEST EXAMPLE table.
