CAUTION: Do not allow smoking or the use of open flames in the area where work on the fuel system is taking place. Anytime work is being done on the fuel system, disconnect the negative battery cable, except for those tests where battery voltage is required.
IMPORTANT: Battery must be at a minimum of 12 volts when performing any fuel system test. Charge battery before proceeding if below 12 volts.
1. Relieve fuel system pressure (Refer to "Relieving Fuel Pressure" procedure.) Service and Repair
CAUTION: Whenever fuel line fittings are loosened or removed, wrap a shop cloth around the fitting and have an approved container available to collect any fuel.
2. Disconnect fuel feed and return lines at fuel rail.
IMPORTANT: To properly utilize the fuel flow/pressure test adapter it must always be connected with the fuel feed line on the inlet side of the adapter and the fuel return or drain line connected to the side with the flow control (On/Off) valve. If not connected properly, a "zero" pressure reading will always be read. Use the appropriately sized connector fittings to hookup the adapter to the feed and return lines.
3. Connect Inlet side of fuel flow/pressure test adapter (SA 9127E-7) into fuel feed line quick connect and make sure fitting is firmly latched.
4. Connect fuel pressure gauge to test adapter.
5. Connect fuel flow/pressure test adapter outlet end to the fuel return line or to a fuel return hose and place other end (of hose) into an approved container for fuel (or fill neck inlet).
6. Turn On/Off valve on fuel flow/pressure test adapter to On.
IMPORTANT: Battery must be at a minimum of 12 volts when performing any fuel system tests.
7. Energize fuel pump for a minimum of 10 seconds. (Refer to "Energizing the Fuel Pump" procedure.) Component Tests and General Diagnostics
a. Record fuel pressure.
b. Repeat this procedure a minimum of two times.
8. Compare pressure recorded to published specification
9. Refer to "Fuel System Diagnostic Chart" and use test result to make appropriate decision

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
