regulator at idle speed:
Test pressure: 3.3 +- 0.2. bar
Hot starting problems:
Check with the engine stopped and fuel pump
running, without vacuum on the pressure regulator
(this requires removing the DME relay and bridging
terminals 87b and 30):
Test pressure: 3.8 +- 0.2 bar

Stop fuel pump. Read pressure on the pres
sure tester (specitication: 3.8 +- 0.2 bar).
- Max. permissible pressure drop on warm
engine: 0.5 bar in 30 minutes.
