Fuel Line Pressure Inspection.
Is fuel line pressure correct?
Check pressure regulator diaphragm
Fuel line pressure:

240-280 kPa (2.5-2.8 kgf/cm2, 35-40 psi)
Check fuel pump circuit

Vlsually look for fuel leakage at Injector 0-r~ng,
Yes
Go to next step
Start engine. Disconnect crankcase ventilation hose
from the throttle body. Place a stiff piece of paper
over the hose end.
Does vacuum hold the paper?
Disconnect inertia fuel shutoff switch connector.
Yes

not OK, replace pressure requlator
pressure regulator, and fuel llne Service as
necessary.
Perform Fuel Pressure Hold Inspection.

Does fuel l~ne pressure hold?
Crank engine for 5 seconds. Does pressure drop
more than 34 kPa (0.35 kgflcm2, 5 psi) by the end
of
5
second crank cycle?
No

Is strong blue spark visible at each disconnected
high-tension lead while cranking engine?
Does EGR valve seat properly?

Check evaporative emission system as follows:
Disconnect evaporative hose and place a stiff piece
of paper over hose
Does vacuum hold paper?
If yes, check evaporative emission system
