1994 Kia Sephia LS, AutomaticFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Injector Fuel Leakage

  1. Relieve fuel system pressure. See ADJUSTMENTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Remove fuel rail with injectors. Using wire, secure injectors tightly onto delivery pipe.
    CAUTION: Ensure injectors are securely tied to fuel rail. If injectors are not properly secured to fuel rail, fuel may spray from loose connections.
  2. Connect a jumper wire between ground and terminal F/P (Blue/Green wire) of Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located in center rear of engine compartment, in front of bulkhead.
  3. Turn ignition on for 10 seconds. Tilt injectors about 60 degrees. Ensure no fuel leakage exists at injectors. After 2 minutes, a single drop of fuel is acceptable. If fuel leakage is present, replace faulty injector.
