General Information 1.1 ABOUT THE TESTER The Fuel Injection Pressure Tester Kit is designed to perform fuel pressure tests on most domestic and import cars and trucks. The tester saves you time and money by helping you test and troubleshoot fuel system problems which can affect your vehicle's performance and fuel economy.
Ford Adapter. Installs on the fuel system test port of Ford and some Chrysler vehicles to allow connection of the tester. 7, 8. Hose. 5/16" and 3/8" universal high-pressure hoses used in conjunction with tee fitting (5). 9, 10. Hose Clamp. High-pressure fuel line clamps used in conjunction with hoses (7, 8) and tee fitting (5).
General Information Read and follow all safety precautions. Make sure the battery is fully charged and the vehicle has enough fuel in the tank. Perform a thorough underhood inspection. Check for loose or cracked electrical wiring, battery cables, ignition wires, fuel and/or vacuum lines. Perform necessary repairs and ensure the fuel system is leak-free.
When placing the bleed-off hose into a container to collect excess fuel, make sure the container is approved for gasoline. When working on vehicles equipped with airbags, follow all cautions and test procedures in your vehicle’s service manual to avoid accidental airbag deployment.
2.1 GENERAL The tests outlined in this manual are for checking Throttle Body Fuel Injection (TBI) (see Figure 2) and Multi-port Fuel Injection (MFI) (see Figure 3) fuel system pressures with the engine running (key on, engine on) and without the engine running (key on, engine off).
Testing • The tee adapter is suitable for use with most fuel injection systems equipped with rubber fuel hoses secured by fuel line clamps at the fuel rail or throttle body (see Figure 6). • The tee adapter is not suitable for use with fuel injection systems equipped with rigid, metallic or plastic fuel lines or connectors.

WARNING: Systems without test ports require that fuel lines be removed or disconnected. Please be aware that these lines may be UNDER PRESSURE, and when removed could cause fuel spray and/or leakage onto hot engine parts. Relieve fuel system pressure BEFORE connecting tester (refer to your vehicle's service manual for procedures).
