The electrode Were any problems found? Yes >> Replace the spark plug. Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) No >> Go to 7 7. FUEL PRESSURE OUT OF SPECIFICATION NOTE: Before continuing, install any components that were removed for testing, and connect all harness WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure, even with the engine off. Before testing or ser- Install a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail. Start the engine and observe the fuel pressure reading. NOTE: The fuel pressure specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi). Select the conclusion that best matches the fuel pressure reading: Within Specification Go to 8 Below Specification Go to 13 Above Specification Replace the fuel filter/pressure regulator. Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) 8. FUEL INJECTOR LEAK DOWN WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure, even with the engine off. Before testing or ser- NOTE: Before continuing, inspect the fuel delivery system for external leaks or damage.
