FAULT DIAGNOSIS

FUEL PRESSURE CHECK

In order to check the fuel pressure it is necessary to
first depressurise the fuel system as follows:

WARNING: Under normal operating
conditions the multiport fuel injection
system is pressurised by a high pressure

fuel pump, operating at up to 2.3 to 2.5 bar. When
engine is stationary pressure is maintained within
system. To prevent pressurised fuel escaping and
to avoid personal injury it is necessary to
depressurise multiport fuel injection system
before any service operations are carried out.

If vehicle has not been run there will be a small
amount of residual pressure in fuel line. The
depressurising procedure must still be carried out
before disconnecting any component within the
fuel system.

The spilling of fuel is unavoidable during this
operation. Ensure that all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent fire and explosion.

1. Remove fuel pump relay module.

Multiport Fuel Injection Relay

2. Start and run engine.
3. When sufficient fuel has been used to cause fuel

line pressure to drop, injectors will become
inoperative, resulting in engine stall. Switch off
ignition.

4. Disconnect battery negative lead. .

NOTE: Fuel at low pressure will remain in
system. To remove low pressure fuel,
place absorbent cloth around fuel pipe at

the filter during disconnection.

5. Connect the pressure gauge on the outlet from

the filter, located on the chassis under the right
rear wheel arch.

6. Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to

position II while observing the pressure gauge.

in one minute.

If pressure is low check that filter is not blocked
and pump is operating satisfactorily. Then
recheck pressure. If pressure is still low renew
regulator.
