2000 Honda InsightFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE
2006 model
- Relieve the fuel pressure (see 2006 MODELΒ ).
- Disconnect the quick-connect fitting. Attach the fuel pressure gauge set and the fuel pressure gauge.
- Remove the vacuum hose (A) from the fuel pulsation damper (B), and pinch off the hose with a clamp (C).
- Start the engine, and let it idle.
- If the engine starts, go to step Β 6 .
- If the engine does not start, go to step 5.
- Check to see if the fuel pump is running: listen to the fuel filler port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned ON (II).
- If the pump runs, go to step 6.
- If the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit troubleshooting (see 2005-2006 MODELSΒ ).
- Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be 270-320 kPa (2.8-3.3 kgf/cm2
, 40-47 psi).
- If the pressure is OK, the test is complete.
- If the pressure is out of specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACEMENTΒ ) and the fuel filter (see FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENTΒ ), then recheck the fuel pressure.
- Reconnect the vacuum hose, remove the pressure gauge, and reconnect the quick-connect fitting (see FUEL LINE/QUICK-CONNECT FITTING INSTALLATIONΒ ).
