CHECK FUEL PRESSURE.
WARNING:

Place “NO OPEN FLAMES” signs near the
working area.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to spill fuel.
1) Connect the front oxygen (A/F) sensor con-
nector.
2) Measure the fuel pressure while discon-
necting pressure regulator vacuum hose from
intake manifold. <Ref. to ME(STI)-25, INSPEC-
TION, Fuel Pressure.> <Ref. to ME(w/o STI)-
24, INSPECTION, Fuel Pressure.>
CAUTION:

Release fuel pressure before removing the
fuel pressure gauge.
NOTE:

If fuel pressure does not increase, squeeze the
fuel return hose 2 to 3 times, then measure fuel
pressure again.

Is the measured value 284 —
314 kPa (2.9 — 3.2 kgf/cm

pressure again.
• If the measured value at this step is out of
specification, check or replace pressure regula-
tor and pressure regulator vacuum hose.
