NOTE:
All models use in-tank fuel pump. Fuel pump contains internal relief valve and check valve.
- Ensure battery is fully charged and ignition is off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect electrical connector from cold start injector (if equipped).
- Note location of fuel pressure gauge installation. See Fig 1 and Fig 2. Place container under cold start injector pipe, delivery pipe or fuel filter. Cover union bolt with shop towel. Slowly loosen union bolt to relieve fuel pressure.
- Remove union bolt and gaskets. Install Fuel Pressure Gauge (SST 09268-45012) using NEW gaskets. See Fig 1 and Fig 2. Tighten union bolt. Reconnect negative battery cable.
- Install jumper wire between +B and FP terminals of data link connector. See Figure and Figure. Data link connector is located below driver's seat.
- On all models, turn ignition on and note fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should be within specification. See FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE table.
- If fuel pressure exceeds specification, replace fuel pressure regulator. If fuel pressure is less than specified, check for defective fuel lines, connections, fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator.
- Remove jumper wire from data link connector. Start engine and allow to idle. Disconnect and plug vacuum line at fuel pressure regulator. Note fuel pressure.
- Reconnect vacuum hose on fuel pressure regulator and note fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should be within specification. See appropriate REGULATED FUEL PRESSURE table.
- If fuel pressure is not within specification, check for defective vacuum hose or fuel pressure regulator. Shut engine off and note fuel pressure.
- Fuel pressure should hold at least 21 psi (1.5 kg/cm2 ) for a minimum of 5 minutes. If fuel pressure does not hold as specified, check for defective fuel pump, fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove fuel pressure gauge. Reinstall union bolt using NEW gaskets. Tighten union bolt. Install cold start injector electrical connector (if equipped). Install negative battery cable.
NOTE:

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.
