Caution: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce
the risk of fire and personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage
that occurs during the connection of the fuel pressure gage. Place the towel
in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure gage
is complete.
- Install the J 34730-1A
fuel pressure gauge. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Gage Installation and Removal
.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and then OFF, in order to energize
the fuel pump.
- Place the bleed hose of the fuel pressure gauge into an approved
gasoline container.
- Bleed the air out of the fuel pressure gauge.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and then OFF, in order to energize
the fuel pump again.
- Observe the reading on the fuel pressure gauge.
Is the fuel pressure within the specified range?
| 250-300 kPa
(36-43 psi)

- Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors.
- Connect the J 39021
fuel injector tester power leads to B+ and ground.
- Set the amperage supply selector switch on the fuel injector tester
to the Balance Test 0.5-2.5 amp position.
- Connect the refer to J 39021
fuel injector tester to a fuel injector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and then OFF, in order to energize
the fuel pump.
- Record the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure gauge
after the fuel pressure stabilizes. This is the 1st pressure reading.
- Energize the fuel injector by depressing the Push to Start Test
button on the fuel injector tester.
- Record the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure gauge
after the fuel pressure gauge needle has stopped moving. This is the 2nd pressure
reading.
- Repeat Step 4 through Step 8 for each fuel injector.
- Subtract the 2nd pressure reading from the 1st pressure reading
for one fuel injector. The result is the pressure drop value.
- Obtain a pressure drop value for each fuel injector.
- Add all of the individual pressure drop values. This is the total
pressure drop.
- Divide the total pressure drop by the number of fuel injectors.
This is the average pressure drop.
Does any fuel injector have a pressure drop value that is higher or
lower than the average pressure drop by the specified value?
| 10 kPa

Notice: Do Not repeat any portion of this test before running the engine in
order to prevent the engine from flooding.
Re-test any fuel injector that does not meet the specification.
Follow the procedures in Step 7.
Does any fuel injector still have a pressure drop value that is higher
or lower than the average pressure drop by the specified value?
| 10 kPa
