3-86 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Fuel Injectors
Check the injector fuel line for leakage as follows:
Connect a commercially available vacuum/pressure
pump [A
] to the nipple of the delivery pipe [B] with a
high-pressure fuel hose [C] (both ends connected with
the clamps [D]) as shown.
Torque - Fuel Hose Clamp Screws: 1.5 N· m (0.15 kgf·m, 13
in·lb)
Apply soap and water solution to the areas [E] as shown.
Watching the pressure gauge, squeeze the pump lever
[F], and build up the pressure until the pressure reaches
the maximum pressure.
Injector Fuel Line Maximum Pressure
Standard: 300 kPa (3.06 kgf/cm², 43 psi)
CAUTION
During pressure testing, do not exceed the maxi-
mum pressure for which the system is designed.
Watch the gauge for at least 6 seconds.
If the pressure holds steady, the system is good.
If the pressure drops at once or if bubbles are found in
the area, the line is leaking. Replace the delivery pipe,
injectors and related parts.
Repeat the leak test, and check the fuel line for no leak-
age.
Install the pump outlet hose (see Fuel Tank Installation).
Run the hoses correctly (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Rout-
ing section in Appendix chapter).
