Fuel Leakage Inspection

Warning

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and

damage. Always carry out the following procedure with the engine stopped.

Note

• Perform the following test only when directed.

1. Complete the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See

F–17 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE

.)

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel injectors together with the fuel distributor with the fuel hose connected. (See

F–28 FUEL

INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

.)

4. Fasten the fuel injectors firmly to the fuel

distributor with wire.

5. Connect the negative battery cable.

Caution

• Connecting the wrong check connector

terminal may possibly cause
malfunction. Carefully connect the
specified terminal only.

6. Short the check connector terminal F/P to body

GND using a jumper wire.

7. Turn the ignition switch to ON position to operate

the fuel pump.

8. Tilt the fuel injectors approx. 60 degrees.
9. Verify that fuel leakage from the fuel injector

nozzles is within the specification.

• If not as specified, replace the fuel injector.

Fuel leakage

Less than 1 drop/2 minutes

10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position and

remove the jumper wire.

11. Complete the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.

Volume Inspection

Warning

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and

damage. Always carry out the following procedure with the engine stopped.

Note

• If there is an after market fuel injector tester, perform the following test.

• If there is no an after market fuel injector tester, perform “Operation Test”, “Resistance Inspection”, and

“Fuel Leakage Test” to verify the fuel injector is okay or not.

1. Complete the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See

F–17 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE

.)

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel injectors. (See

F–28 FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

.)

4. Connect the fuel injector to the fuel injector tester.
5. Measure the injection volume of each fuel injector using a graduated container.

• If not as specified, replace the fuel injector.

Injection volume

L3: 61—71 ml {61—79 cc, 2.2—2.7 fl oz}/15 sec.
LF: 53—69 ml {53—69 cc, 1.9—2.4 fl oz}/15 sec.
L8: 48—63 ml {48—63 cc, 1.7—2.2 fl oz}/15 sec.

6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position and disconnect the jumper wire.

PULSATION DAMPER INSPECTION

A6E391220180W02

1. Complete the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See

F–17 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE

.)

2. Remove the pulsation damper. (See

F–34 PULSATION DAMPER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

.)

3. Visually inspect the pulsation damper for damage and cracks. Also verify that there is no extreme rust which

will cause fuel leakage.

• If either is observed, replace the pulsation damper.

4. Complete the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See

F–17 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE

.)
